3 out of 5 stars Old Ghosts Revisited   July 25, 2005
Stephen P (uk)
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

Great to see this had come out on xbox with the current trend for retro games.

Firstly, nothing has changed; it's the same games, the same graphics and the same sounds as when I was a kid cutting my teeth on my first computer games. But a lot has changed since then so if you buy this to recreate those memories you are probably going to be disappointed.

The menus for game selection were a pain, games being categorised by genre and no images or description to help you identify the game you so loved but can't remember the name of.

That said, there were a few I found and still enjoy playing including asteroids.

But the real fun came with two player, early 80's music on the stereo and slogging it out on a round robin with battletanks, bi-planes, submarines and a degree of competitiveness that we didn't remember but must have possessed at the time. A good 3 hours and a good few drinks passed us by before we turned to the more sophisticated offerings of ghost recon etc.

This is simplicity at it's best for simple untaxing games you can play with the kids, let them play without getting stuck and occasionally ribald fun with your mates. Good value at six quid!


2 out of 5 stars I never, ever learn   April 11, 2005

Why do I buy stuff like this, they really must see people like me coming. This anthology is obviously very much of its time. There is not a single atari vcs game on this disc that stands up to scrutiny anymore, the novelty value disappears within minutes when you start to play them. I mean what exactly is the point of a game like Yars Revenge?, I didn't like it the first time when I bought it on the vcs and I've bought it a second time!. Asides from the very occasional go for 5 minutes on centipede I do not bother with the other Arcade games on this disc, Asteroids etc, as they just do not look or play well anymore. If like me you are an old nostalgist, pick up the box and smile, wipe away a tear but do not buy it, it will not meet your expectations and only ruin your memories.
