Midway's Blast from the Past Part 2
Pros (games worth playing): APB: A simple game of cops and robbers which is pritty hard since you have to do the very best you can to apprehend every wanted criminal while meeting your daily quota. Seems like work but it's fun.
Arch Rivals: Hasn't really withstood time well, it's rather simplistic and dated it's famous mainly for adding the rule of punching your opponents to steel the ball, still it's worth a try.
Champion Sprint: It's a good followup to the original. It's more of an upgrade of the orginal than a sequel but it does has plenty of new track in the game and there are more deadly opsticles making things harder which make this sequel a little better that the original.
Cyberball: It's a sci-fi version of football with only a few new rules in the game. Help set the standard for football games we have now. Worth a try.
Mortal Kombat 2 and 3: These games are still the best in my book. The graphics still look good due to how real they look, may'be for some they look dated but they were a steping stone to the games we have now. And it has memorable characters and it's also still very violent. Bloody fun.
Narc: One of my personal favorate video games of all time, I played it when I was nine. Realistic graphics, crazy violence, gore, as well as a moral message. Primal Rage: Another graphically realistic fighting video game with gigantic monsters. If Rampage ever had a one on one fighting game it would be this. Interesting characters and gore.
Total Carnage: Another of my personal favorate games of all.
Game similar to Smash TV. A blackly humourous mean spirited parody on the Gulf War and how we see war in general. Other than the moral implcations it's just plain fun with all the sensely crazy violence and gore. Carnage candy
Timber: Sort of a sequel to Root Beer Tapper which was never popular and was underated. Bloodless, harmless fun that deserves a chance.
Wizard of War: Not a bad D&D like maze game but hasn't withstood time well. Still has a good soundtrack and is worth a try.
Xybots: Cool first person shooter which had for it's time revolutionary 3-D graphics and control scheme. Even good loud audio. A steping stone for Doom and others. One of my personal favorates.
Xenophobe: Alien extermination game with spit screen play. One of the first video games I've played that is still fun today (at least in my book).
Gauntlet 2: Awsome sequel to a franchise that now has an imortal life span.
Cons (games to avoid):
Pit Fighter: A guilt pleasure of mine. Pritty bad by todays standards but for it's time the graphics looked great and it was fun. Plus this is the only arcade perfect port. Worth a try.
Rampage World Tour: This was a sequel that seemed like a good idea at first but it was one that went bad. Even though it had a few things right
3-D versions of our monsters and the grapics to go with it. More different cities to wreck and a few enimies. It was fun for a mere amount of minutes but it quickly gets old after a while the trouble is the gameplay really hasn't changed at all, there was just nothing entirely new about this game that set it apart from the original making the game to me seem medicure and kinda boring. There are some classics that deserve new life breathed into them but Rampage just wasn't one of them.
Hard Drivin: At the time it was revolutionary because of it's 3-D graphics but now it's just plan boring. The control scheme is a bit clumsy and pacing is just to darn slow. Even though your going fast it feels like you going only 10 mph, and you just don't have a real feel like you actually gone though hazzardous stunts, you feel like you've been on the road all this time.
Kozmik Kroozir: Weard name, weard plot, bad game.
Spy Hunter 2: Mediocure and unnessary sequel.
Wacko: Dumb sequel to the dumb franchise Kroozir.
So, I recomend adding this volume to the series. At least you'll have up to 40 games to play if you add both volumes up.
