Classic Game Room HD – SLITHER for Colecovision

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:18:41 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews SLITHER for Colecovision. This game has a copyright of 1983 and plays a lot like Centipede or Millipede. It requires the Colecovision Roller Controller trackball and plays like a real arcade stand up machine. Graphics are above average for the early 80′s, gameplay is awesome and Slither is a retro gamer classic for the ages. This old school game is from Century II. You play as a laser cannon or something resembling a gun turret. Your only mission is to survive as you eliminate wave after wave of enemy snakes, dinosaurs and pterodactyls. Watch out for bushes and rocks, shoot enemies above and below you. Collect bonus points and select your difficulty level. As far as Centipede clones go this may be the best. Classic Game Room reviews Slither for the CGRHD program and gives it two thumbs up. Always check back for daily Classic Game Room reviews of brand new games and old school classics. Only CGR does PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Sega Genesis, NES, Atari, Magnavox and Colecovision reviews. Who else has a track ball out there anymore!!?? Will Slither ever make it to XBLA Xbox Live Arcade or Wii Virtual Console??

Classic Game Room HD – SUPER GODZILLA for Super Nintendo

admin — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:22:49 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews SUPER GODZILLA for the Super Nintendo video game console. This Super Godzilla review for the SNES shows the gameplay footage of Super Godzilla, several of the monsters including King Ghidora (aka Monster Zero), Mechagodzilla and Biollante. This is an interesting game and licensed from Toho. It plays like part strategy game and part fighting game, although instead of traditional 2D fighting with Godzilla vs. Monsters you use a “fighting spirit”. In order to play the game properly you must learn and master this fighting spirit. CGR would rather watch Godzilla movies but that’s just us… Anyway, it’s an interesting game and a valiant effort on the Super Nintendo. Music and graphics are top notch as is the Godzilla King of the Monsters Terror of Mechagodzilla style plot. Maybe the game could have used even more flying saucers and hot Japanese scientists with nothing to lose except their lab coats but hey… maybe they’ll make that into the next game. Classic Game Room reviews SNES video games and has a collection of Super Nintendo games to review over the next several months. Keep coming back for daily Classic Game Room new and classic video game reviews. Game includes other monsters like Mothra.

Classic Game Room HD – SUB CHASE! for Magnavox Odyssey 2

admin — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 16:19:19 +0000

WATCH IN HD! Classic Game Room HD reviews SUB CHASE! for the Magnavox Odyssey 2 video game console from 1978. This game is a 2 player game that reminds Classic Game Room of Air Sea Battle for the Atari 2600, but it’s not, IT’S SUB CHASE! You are chasing submarines and blowing them up while avoiding the neutral ships… GET IT!??? One player plays as the submarine (the Shark) and the other as an airplane (the Hawk!). It is a fun game and really old school.. so old school that school wasn’t even invented yet (that’s made up). Sub Chase comes on the same game cartridge as Armored Encounter, also reviewed by the Classic Game Room retro gaming review show. Two semi-awesome games on one cart, can’t beat that! Classic Game Room is the only retro reviewer making Magnavox Odyssey 2 video game reviews in High Definition. Take that…. PS3 and 360! The Maggie O2 (or Videopace G7000 in Europe) now has reviews on the same level as your fancy new HD games… oh yeah, Sub Chase in HD clarity! You can see all the details on the sub like the four pixels that make it. Is that a flag or periscope?

Classic Game Room HD reviews ZENO CLASH ULTIMATE EDITION for Xbox 360, a download game from Xbox Live. Zeno Clash is also available for PC. Zeno Clash Ultimate Edition is a fist person shooter style video game with a heavy dose of fist fighting! Bash demented monster-people-things in the face, kick them or crush them with hammers. Zeno Clash delivers smooth, action packed off-tempo action in a Turok meets Zardoz universe. What’s that you say, I killed Father-Mother? Follow weirdo number 1 on a journey through Fraggle Rock meets Hellraiser as a tale of woe unravels through peyote clouded glasses. Zeno Clash Ultimate Edition is an Xbox 360 download 1st person shooter with fisticuff action and co-op gameplay for the Zeno Rush and Tower Challenges.

Classic Game Room HD – ATARI ANTHOLOGY for Xbox review

admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 16:21:40 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews ATARI ANTHOLOGY for Xbox, which also works on the Xbox 360 video game console. This amazing collection has dozens of Atari 2600 classic video games, as well as a number of arcade classics, all on one disc like Missile Command, Yars’ Revenge, Swordquest Waterworld and Space War! The games play out in fabulous 1080i HDTV graphics and look better than they did on the Atari 2600 (although in many cases that may not be a good thing, but this is emulation and these are emulated Atari 2600 games and they still rock!) Instead of using the standard Atari 2600 single button, single joystick controller you play all of these Atari and arcade hits using your Xbox or Xbox 360 controller. Atari Anthology is also available for the Playstation 2 PS2 video game system although CGRHD has not reviewed that version. We do however like the Atari Anthology disc for Xbox and played it with our 360 and give it two hearty beers up. Classic Game Room is your home for the best classic video game reviews anywhere in the known universe, or univereses that you don’t know, understand or could possibly fathom. A bunch of angels in some far of heaven meets disco wonderland universe coul make a video game review show with naked girls, beer drinking and talking frogs and it would still suck compared to Classic Game Room (we made that up, talking frogs would be awesome!)

Classic Game Room HD – DEFENDER for Playstation PS1 review

admin — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 16:18:24 +0000

Classic Game Room HD reviews DEFENDER (again!), this time for the Playstation 1 video game console, or PSX, PSone, PS1, etc…. This is from the Williams Greatest Arcade Hits collection which also includes arcade emulated copies of Robotron 2084, Joust, Sinistar, Bubbles and Defender 1 and 2!! Digital Eclipse was involved with this version (you should know them from the Xbox Live Arcade games on XBLA). Defender was released in 1980 in the arcades and is regarded as one of the best horizontal scrolling space ship shooters ever created. Designed by Eugene Jarvis, Defender pits you and your spaceship against countless enemy foes, landers, swarmers and pods who are kidnapping humans and turning them into mutants. If you want to play Defender but don’t have an arcade stand up machine this may be the best and most affordable way to do so, as soon in this CGRHD review! Classic Game Room reviews the best in new and retro video games. If you like retro gaming reviews and old school video game reviews and reviewing then you’ll love the journalistic integrity and itchy SHMUP loving trigger finger of Classic Game Room… sucka! Coin-op classic Defender review, right here!

Classic Game Room buys a SUPER NINTENDO SNES system

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 16:21:37 +0000

Classic Game Room HD buys a SUPER NINTENDO video game console! Can you believe it? A used SNES is now in the possession of the world’s most powerful video game review show, CLASSIC SNES OWNING GAME ROOM! Now we can review all of the classics except with a “super” in front of them, like “SUPER Metroid” and “SUPER Star Wars”. This console purchase was overshadowed by our recent adventure to buy a Sega Saturn, and we were excited to find a SNES at the same store for $40 with controller and power supply and wires etc… We turned it on, it works. Plays well except the game seems a bit wobbly in there. Classic Game Room reviews video games from years past and the future, although don’t call us retro reviews, because we are permanently stuck in the ’80s which isn’t retro, it’s now. We’re now reviewers. We review games now. Not then, you just missed it. It’s now. The SNES joins the Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis, Mega Drive MD , Sega CD, 32x, Playstation 1, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Entertainment System NES, N64 and Magnavox Odyssey 2 consoles for the awesome CGRHD show!
