I bought this for a friend in nov. 2008 and we had a blast playing. I decided to get one for myself --- I find it hard to believe that it was 14.99 on 11/13/08 and today, 12/31/08 it is 50.99 for the exact game. It's not like it's a different version or an upgraded version. I can see some price fluctuation but that's insane.
Rating: - Best package of classic games I've played.....
Honestly, this is my favorite game cartridge. All of the games are fun, challenging, and are accurate renditions of their arcade counterparts. If I owned one GBA or DS game, this would probably be it. These are hard games to master so there is a lot of gameplay, but they can be mastered so you don't feel cheated.
Admittedly, I like these classic game packages and have bought some others for this and other systems, but they almost always fall short. Usually, the game play stinks or some critical component of the game is missing. That isn't the case with this one.
Rating: - Radical
I'll be honest, I only picked this up for Frogger. The other games are good though. Since getting back into video gaming, I've gotten decidedly retro in picking up games. So anything that was fairly new when I was young is fair game. Not that today's games aren't awesome, there's just a certain cool cheese factor in revisiting games from my youth. If, like me, you are just getting back into the video game race, or you have kids that you want a good decent set of games for, this is it.
Rating: - Best arcade compilation cartridge for the GBA
All of the arcade games converted for the GBA are nearly perfect representations. Sure, the music is a different one than the original in Frogger, but that is a very minor flaw. Maybe there was a version of Arcade Frogger that had this tune--who knows?
On top of that, you can get variants of these classic games by using the special Konami joystick code.
If you like this cartridge, I would highly recommend "Namco Museum" nad "Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits" (the latter contains imperfect arcade conversions but it is still good).
Rating: - Gotta love enchanced classics
At first when I was about to play this game, I thought it would just be an exact port of 6 arcade games. You do get that and more. Konami took a step further on this game and made some noticable enhancements that make the games much more fun to play. Also, use the Konami Code (^,^,v,v,<,>,<,>,B,A) at the title of any of the game screens to unlock more features. If you love classics, especially Konami classics, buy this game if you can (it's hard to find).
