Arcade Games

1942Horrendously shrill audio really mars an otherwise decent little old-school shooter.01/25/046/10

Arcade GamesOver 20 years old (technically 100 yrs. old) and its still one of the best (and now underrated) methods of Video Game Entertainment ever.03/19/0410/10
Arm Champs IITis' a decent deviation from the ordinary but alas Jaleco made it WAY too short.05/19/046/10

Dead or Alive 2The probably final DOA game in the arcades go out with a surprisingly good bang.01/22/048/10

Donkey KongThe debut of Donkey Kong and Mario (A.K.A Jumper back then) and VG icon Shigeru Miyamoto has surprisingly aged well.02/22/048/10

EhrgeizA 3D Fighter thats great fun for most Final Fantasy 7 fans and decent fun for everyone else.03/06/048/10
FroggerAnother one of those... "Its not a bad game just an awfully hard one" kind of games.02/22/046/10

Ghost SquadAs for my final review of 2005, it shall be for this good reason why Arcade-styled Shooters still thrive.11/30/058/10
Guilty Gear XA 10 for style but a 7 for substance gives this game a total score of 8.11/19/038/10
Guilty Gear XXWhen it comes to Arcades this is to 2D fighting as what Soul Caliber II is to 3D.12/06/039/10
Mat ManiaOne of the biggest examples of "Mediocre Genre Game" I have played in years.03/09/045/10

Pac-ManDoes it deserve its immense praise as one of the most classic games ever? Hmmm... yeah I think so...02/22/049/10
Rival SchoolsThis game is a 3-D Fighter that does not in the LEAST bit seem like a Tekken/Virtua Fighter Ripoff. Go Capcom!03/05/048/10
Robotron: 2084Not quite the "Tetris" of old-school "non-ship based" shooters but its pretty darn close.09/26/048/10

TekkenQuite possibly one of the biggest pleasant surprises in all of Arcade history...10/11/048/10
Tekken 5Does this improve the Tekken series? As for style? In spades... Substance? A little bit but not quite...01/26/058/10
Tetris (Atari)Good, but no where near as good as you heard it is.09/12/057/10

X-MenBest. Comic-Book. Based. Game. Ever. Period.01/03/0410/10
Zombie RevengeRemember when Capcom once tried to experiment on placing Res. Evil in a different style of genre? Needless to say this should've been it.01/27/059/10

NES

Alien 3Its another movie-based NES game from LJN. Well its better than Back to the Future but not as good as Who Framed Roger Rabbit.03/30/055/10

Deja VuWith a keen eye for details, only one truth prevails...07/24/039/10

Gremlins 2The, I repeat THE best movie-based Video Game ever made. Period.09/22/0310/10

Karate ChampDespite a good premise and decent 2-player mode, its a rather below average disappointment of a game.01/07/045/10

King's KnightBoo?04/18/046/10

Ring KingGranted its is indeed unable to hold a candle to the classic that is "Mike Tyson's Punch-out" but bad game? Not really...04/02/046/10

Vegas DreamMy personal favorite "Casino" game.08/06/0310/10
