  • Abstract:  I wasn't the biggest fan of the 194X series when it was in the arcades but I do remember playing the game at various arcades growing up. This was mostly because I could barely get through the first level on a single quarter which frustrated me to no en...

  • Abstract:  I must say that 1942 Joint Strike is one of the best-looking XBLA titles out there. The game bares just a familiar resemblance to the old arcade classic. Gone are the poppy, flickering planes, the very limited colour pallet, as well as the repetitious ...

  • Abstract:  During the '80s the top-down shooter was a staple of arcades. Manufacturers slapped plenty of eight-way joysticks onto arcade cabinets so gamers could get their fix - which usually involved piloting a ship through space or blasting away at aliens and ...
