It's about time I started posting stuff from my,soon to be defunct,Retro Talk blog. So,let's start with my Weekday Retro Game Review series,Retro Gamer Weekdayz. However,I"ve decided to change the format of the reviews,to make things simpler. Plus I kinda suck at reviews,but I'm gonna give it another shot.
Also note that each of my reviews will be spoiler free.
Anyway,I'm gonna be kicking things off with the NES version of the Arcade Classic that kickstarted the worldwide popularity of Video Games - Pac-Man!
Pac-Man
Company: Tengen and Namco
Year: 1988 (tengen version) and 1993 (namco version)
Genre: Maze Chase
System: NES
# Of Players: 1-2 (turn based)
Story: Due to the game being a port of an early [very early] Arcade title,the original Pac-Man has no story. It's just Pac-Man being chased by Ghost Monsters (inky,blinky,pinky,and clyde) in a maze,while eating pellets.
Game Features:
- 2 Player Alternative Play
- Eat All of The Pellets to Complete The Level
- Power Pellets (the big ones) allow Pac-Man to temporarily defeat the Ghost Monsters.
- Eat Fruit for Extra Points
- Fun Cutscenes
- Game Gets Progressively Harder As You Go Through It.
Difficulty: Moderate to Hard
Fun Factor: High
Pros:
- Great Controls (almost arcade perfect)
- Amusing Cutscenes
- Near Arcade Perfect Graphics
- Fun and Addictive Gameplay
Cons:
- Lack of an Ending (due to pac-man being an early arcade game).
Replay Value: Good.
Score: 8/10
Well that about does it for tbe 1st addition of Retro Gamer Weekdayz. Hope you guys enjoyed. Next review will be on the NES port of Donkey Kong. Until Then....
Stay Gold,Space Cowboys!
