Floigan Bros. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Floigan Brothers is a game that you can't take too seriously or you're just not going to enjoy it.It's hardly anything more than an interactive cartoon and taken that way, it certainly worked for me.The story is mostly ludicrous, the game play is short, and the area of play is small, but still, I enjoyed this game.
In the game, you control Hoigle, who must help his brother Moigle gather the seven parts he needs to complete a secret device he is building in the garage.During the game, you must have Moigle help you access areas that are inaccessible by doing different things, including making him happy, angry, sad, and by playing games with him.
The games you play with Moigle get somewhat repetitive after a while and can slow the game play down.I recommend teaching him to play catch as soon as possible since it's one of the quicker games and pays one of the most amount of points, which Hoigle needs to accumulate to teach Moigle different things.The different games you play with Moigle are High Five, Tag, Hide And Seek, Catch, and the Running Game.The Running Game you can't learn until late in the game and I've never been able to beat Moigle at it, although there must be a way to do so.I guess I just can't figure it out.
As you interact with different things in the junkyard, you'll be able to teach Moigle more skills, although there is one thing I haven't been able to teach him.That's what keeps drawing me back into the game, trying to accomplish the tasks that I haven't been able to solve yet, although I've already beaten the game.Try it for yourself, if you like cartoons, I think you'll like this too.Just don't pay too much for this game, its replay value is fairly low and it shouldn't take much more than six hours or so to beat it.Still though, you should enjoy those six hours.

Sega Dreamcast Controller (Original Gray) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of the "New" ones and recieved a blue-swirl European (PAL) version. Skeptical, I looked it up and found that there was no difference inside the controller.

The controller works great. I haven't had any issues with any of my Sega DC controllers yet - after 5 years and several tournament used.

It's as close as you can get to the real thing without getting wet. Now you'll have no excuse for the "one that got away!" Motion sensor is built in. Move the controller and the in-game rod reacts. Vibration module is also built in - you can feel the fish hit and fight! It's a true-action reel for authentic gameplay.

Sonic the Hedgehog Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I will never forget the snowy Xmas of 1992 when I made the upgrade from the trusty old Commodore 64 to the Sega Genesis. I got about 1 game per week for the Genesis and tried just about everything. My first ever game tho was Sonic the Hedgehog. The gameplay was simple and that's the way I liked it.
The graphics were cute. From bright blue sunshine and tropical landscapes to the cruel mechanical world of Doctor Robotnik (now called the Eggman). The music was great (where are the soundtrack CDs???) and I was never happier.
Sure it was totally easy but I always went back for more. This game had such charm is it any wonder why Sonic is still so popular all these years on?

Atari Arcade Hits #1 (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If, after you sink into these 6 classic Atari arcade games, you start to smell pizza or hear other voices, don't panic. It's just your mind bringing back memories of when you first played them. THAT'S how good these recreations are.
Compared to today's 3D arcade first-person shooters, these games might seem primitive but they can claim something that modern games can't: anyone and everyone played them. The controls were simple, usually consisting of a single knob or joystick and a couple buttons. You dropped in a quarter and you played.
When you went to the bowling alley or pizza parlor, you saw senior citizens standing shoulder to shoulder with teens at the PONG game. A father and daughter might be huddled in front of Tempest. A child barely tall enough to reach the trackball and buttons on Missile Command has already finished 12 levels. A grandmother has just been introduced to Asteroids and now, there's no tearing her away. A small crowd is gathering around the Super Breakout game because someone has just cleared a third wall of bricks on the first ball. And a weekend lawn warrior is exacting revenge on his leaf-munching adversaries in Centipede.
Those games live again, as does a feeling for what it was like to have lived back then, in Atari Arcade Hits. In addition to the exact recreations of 6 of Atari's landmark arcade games, the CD ROM includes a wealth of extra material including photos, promotional materials and over a half hour of Atari founder Nolan Bushnell reminiscing about the times. That segment was actually taped at the former Andy Capp's Saloon where the world was introduced to the first coin-operated PONG.
NOTE: Games requiring a knob or "paddle" controller are best played with a good quality trackball like the Logitech Marble Mouse Trackball, which I've reviewed elsewhere on Amazon.com

Mega Man Anniversary Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)NOTE - I have not played much of the PS2 version of "Mega Man Anniversary Collection", but I have noticed the controller is much easier to use than the GameCube's.If you're interested in this title, the technical aspects of both versions should be identical.

REVIEW
Just how much fun is it to play that old-school, side-scrolling, blue bomber anyway?These games have not lost their touch at all.Both gamers who suffer from incurable nostalgia (like me) and those of the next-gen consoles (like most of today's generation) can enjoy this compilation.

The basic premise for this series is that as Mega Man, you will complete from 4-to-8 stages (depending on the game), each with plenty of side-scrolling shooting your way through robot enemies and jumping exercises, and each ending with a Boss battle.You must choose wisely, though, because although you can finish them in any order, certain bosses' weapons have a distinct advantage over another.After defeating these foes, Dr. Wily awaits Mega Man at his castle, which will require every weapon you've just gained to progress.It is this freedom-of-choice that gives the "Mega Man" franchise such a proud place in gaming history.

What Capcom did right with this series is not incorporate too many new features that weren't already in the games.For example, you won't be able to Slide until the 3rd game, nor will you charge up your Mega Buster until the 4th game.These games are properly ported form their original versions.
Sure, there are a few touches here and there.There isn't as much framerate slowdown as before, a useless map is now added to the PAUSE Menu, and the timeline references ("20XX") match today's timeline ("2004").The best addition is a SAVE feature, that allows you to avoid those annoying Passwords, and just jump right where you left off.You'll lose you acquired Lives and E-Tanks, but the level-and-weapon status remains intact.

Many consider the first 3 games to be the classic titles.
The first "Mega Man" is still the hardest of them all.The enemies are unrelenting, and I've read that there used to be a Boss glitch that Capcom removed, forcing you to use your skills even more.Although basic in concept, the challenge is very unforgiving in some levels.This game is hard.

"Mega Man 2" is my favorite of them all, because the music is catchy as hell, plus the bosses and levels are expertly designed.For those who've played this game before, the fourth Dr. Wily boss is still a pain-in-the-ass though.

"Mega Man 3" is by far the longest in the series, as you'll battle 8 original bosses, then the 8 from "Mega Man 2", then tackle Dr. Wily's 6 stages of combat.This entry is also a little tough, because you're gonna have to be extra-smart to make it through this one.

Most fans consider the next three games ("Mega Man" 4,5,6) to be the money-making sequels.Back in the day, I would agree, but since the price of this disc is less than these 3 titles combined at original price, I won't complain.Also, they're so much fun that how can you resist the technical improvements.

The 4th game is when the powers and upgrades become more plentiful.Eight more levels await, and this time there are actually 2 castles to shoot your way through.This one holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first one I ever beat.

"Mega Man 5" and "Mega Man 6" share many similiarities.Both games start off with 8 robot bosses, then reveal the supposed enemy's castle of 4 stages, only to expose that Dr. Wily was behind it all, and give us a few more stages to battle through.The stories are a joke, but who's reading anyway.But neither of these games are bad at all, and proudly earn their spots in the classic NES sextilogy.

"Mega Man 7" was the SNES game that reinvigorated the franchise for many fans.Better graphics and sound quality, not to mention some unique bosses, gave this series some more life.To be honest, I think this game runs a little slower than my taste, as the NES games are much more faster-paced.Still, a worthy entry,

The 8th game was released on the PS-one, and to be honest, I haven't beaten it yet because the stages are truly mind-boggling in puzzles and challenging with their platforming sections.I'm having a great time with it, though, and eagerly await the concluding obstacles...

There are even two bonus fighting games that aren't too bad.They're both themed after the 8 previous games, and allow Mega Man, his brother Proto Man, and newfound ally Bass, to face off in classic Capcom 2D fighting.Think "Street Fighter" with "Mega Man" weapons.

Included on this disc are some bogus extra features that I could do without, but that's not why you buy collections like this."Mega Man Anniversary Collection" is all about the evolution of gaming.The action of these titles was deceptively simple, and I have no problem recommending this disc to anybody.My minor quibble with this game is that the GameCube controller's D-Pad is too damn small, but that's a problem I can overlook.I'm recommending people buy this collection of titles because they are all about gaming.You won't find "Metal Gear Solid"-like complicated stories, or "Final Fantasy"-like levelling up, or "Resident Evil"-like puzzles.All of those are great titles, but "Mega Man" is much simpler.All you need are two hands, keen eyes, and a hunger to execute these commands..."Run---Jump---Shoot".Can you do that?Good, now stop reading my review and buy this already!
