Galaxian ! The first video game to ever feature color Graphics
As usual I like to give my opinion the game and then explain how / why I rated the other categories.
Please keep in mind that my opinion may differ from yours. Other then that happy reading.
This game is as the title states,,, DOPE
I love the old school arcade games of the eighties! ( I know this came out in 79 )
This game ushered in the golden age or arcade.
The game itself it pretty simple, SHOOT THE ALIENS
But Galaxian is much more then that. It's a staple in the history of gaming
it has some pretty impressive coding that makes is stand out from every
other game that came before it. Not to mention color.
Anyways I love this game.
It's tougher then you think
try beating an entire level without missing or making it to wave 100
or hell, try beating the world record high score. It only takes about
eight hours of non stop play do accomplish.
Lets get into the rating break down shall we?
Graphics: 8
As I mention this was the first video game ever to have color graphics.
That is just an insane accomplishment for the time this came out.
could you imagine going to an arcade and there only being a single game that featured color?
I love the animations of the aliens and the nature of how the game is designed.
Sound: 9
"BEEP BOOP " "PEW PEW"
I love classic arcade noises. And this game has a lot of them to keep you listening.
unless you are trying to beat a world record hi score and would have to listen to the sounds for eight plus
hours, I suggest you crank that sh@t up and enjoy the classic sounds that make the game come to life
Addictiveness: 10
I find this game to be endlessly addicting. Clearing wave after wave after wave just soothes my soul.
it floats my boat something fierce. I know that every one is different though. Most people today would
probably clear one wave and just move on to another game. But for those that truly appreciate the game
for what it really is , you guys know what I'm saying.
Depth: 5
Welp,,, there isn't much really, Shoot the bad guys, clear the board and onto the next wave, and repeat
But hey its an old school game, most of the arcade games from the 70's we're just straight to the point when
it came to story line or depth. ( if they even have a story line) I know its a basic shooter but it required a very tight
technique followed by some serious skill to truly master this game. We're talking days and days of game play.
That is only if you are into breaking records, personal or otherwise.
A big thanks to all those that have read my review. I hope you enjoyed reading.
Please keep in mind that my opinion most likely differs from yours.
If you want to leave a comment feel free. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
Just try not to be "THAT GUY" if you know what I mean.
