Graphics: every game on this cart has graphics that would have been acceptable...if this came out when the nes did. In fact, it came out 5 years into the life of the system, and has terrible graphics in comparison to games of this time. You generally cannot tell what you are, what your trying to kill, or what missile(if you have one) you are shooting. Things tend to be either 1 or 2 colors, or a mass of every color on the palette in no form of design, as if they just threw a couple cans of paint at the design, and said "yup, that's good". A few have decent graphics for a starting nes game, but not for 1991.
Sound: every sound in the game is ear wrenching. Its difficult to acurratley describe midi sounds, because its all just blips and boops made from a signal generator. Well these guys had no idea how to use a signal generator, and ended up reusing alot of the "screechiest" sound effects from alot of generic nes games. The music isnt particularly panel, but its all dull and boring. Several second loops of uninspired nonsense thrown at you in a way that makes it obvious nobody actually played any of these games before trying to sell this thing.
Addictiveness: the games are all boring, many being very hard to impossible, and the rest being so easy that you literally cannot loose, or they have no goal whatsoever. This game is about addictive as running into moving cars.
Story: there is no story. Its a collection of essentially Atari games thrown together to try and rip off as many nes games as possible. Only 1 game has a "story", and that's cheetahmen. But the story is never mentioned again because the game has no ending. Or if it does, I cant find it due to glitching out levels.
Depth: there ARE alot of games here, but they are literally all the same. Oh sure you have platformers, or shooters, but every shooter is the same. platformer is the same. They all share terrible engines that cannot handle more then about 20 sprites on screen at any time, they all are incapable of processing 2 moving sprites on the same lines, and they are all boring as hell.
Difficulty: most of the games are the type you cannot win. Why? Because there is no ending. Or there is no health display. Or your available health is a random amount that is not shown, but by counting the hits you can see that sometimes you'll take upwards of 30 hits to die, and sometimes only 1. Mind you these problems aren't in every game, but alot of them. The rest are filled with badly made copy/pasted levels, or enemies just spawning in random spots at random times. Often times you'll have no idea when playing a shooter, if something is background or foreground, as your bullets pass right through, but you die upon impact.
Overall: this game is a waste of computer memory, every trace of it should be wiped clean from existence, and the makes should be hunted down and prosecuted for acts of terrorism. The game is full of "games" which cannot be completed either because they go on forever in an old pacman style, or they have glitches that prevent progression, or they simply do not work. Everything about every game on here is terrible. The ones that are obvious copies of other games are badly copied and dumbed down. All in all, I am quite offended at this games very existence.
