  I first played this game when I was 6 years old.  I thought it was very hard, and I still do.  This is one of the few games that pose a true challenge to any player of any age or skill level.  That merit alone should make this game a shoe in for “classic” status.  ...

  This game began the greatest video game series of all time.  Shigeru Miyamoto’s masterful game was an icon when it was first released, and it is an icon now.  It represents the start of gaming greatness for me.  When it was first in production, the staff knew they were ...

This game is not so good, the player can't use the right mouse button to command his/her troops or workers, witch is very uncomfortable and it is taking too long to click in the menu and then on the enemy if attacked. Good grafics, with enough detail for most people to see that is a peon and that ...

Acid Drop is a bit of a crappy puzzle game in which you must line up the drops vertically or horizontally with the same color in order to make them disappear.

Air Raid is one of the rarest Atari 2600 games out there. The game had very limited distribution, so it's extremely difficult to find. Either way, the game isn't that impressive. You, in your airplane, shoot down your enemies as you fly around.

Dr. Light has been captured by...Protoman?! However, is this the real Protoman or an impostor? You'll have to take on the 8 Robot Masters and find out! This followup to the rather lackluster Mega Man 4 adds some fun little gameplay tweaks and has a better soundtrack (in my opinion)

A sequel to Kid Icarus on the NES, and currently the only one, Of Myths and Monsters is a fantastic game like the original. It might even be better. The gameplay is good and the music is great considering when the game was made. It also has a fair difficulty level. If a) you've played through the original ...

Basically a shooting game from a over-the-top view. The story is based on the name of the ship's model created by the military as the last hope of human kind. What is great about this game is that even with such a basic system like NES, the programmers put some nice AI in it. So if you start playing ...

This game is an arcade style shooter. Even though you see the plane on a third-person or inside the cockpit view it is not a simulator. Basically you choose your ride, take it to the sky on some missions including bomb carriers, dogfights, avoid crashing into mountains, all that with some less-of-a-perfect ...

Sonic in a pinball setting is one of the ideas toyed with since the start of the series, in Sonic 1's Spring Yard and Special Zones. Sonic 2 worked around that idea too with Casino Night Zone, to the point where you can play some slots when Sonic enters a special receptor. However, it wasn't until ...

Sonic 1 is one of the most diifcult games in the whole Sonic series. The level layouts were unforgiving, and the whole game was hectic and hard, but fun. However, it was also difficult because of one particular bug they left on the game, properly dubbed the Spike bug. It occurred as easily as falling ...
