Arcade Classics for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Arcade Classics

Archaic Collection


Genre: arcade - n/a

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1996

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

The games play far worse than the originals, the SNES version of this game, or even the Atari 2600 port. The controls are unbelievably show. This is most noticeable on missile command where your cursor moves insanely slow like you're dragging it through mud. Your ship in centipede is also very slow but runs at least three times as fast as the cursor in missile command. Pong seems fine on the other hand.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

Such a tiny collection. Only three games, and only one that I enjoy. And if course that's the one that's completely broken.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

They're arcade games. Really old arcade games. I'm not particularly partial to such things. There are two versions of each game - classic and Sega. The only difference is a slight graphical improvement. Meh


Art Style Score: 0

Art Style Notes:

Let's be honest. These things look like trash


Audio Score: 0

Audio Notes:

Also not good. Missile Command is the only game here with sounds that I have any nostalgia for and it's almost completely silent. Uggh


Overall Score: 16

Review ID: 746
