Bookworm
Bookworm is one of the best word-puzzle games in the world. It is comprised of columns (7) and rows (3 with 8 letters and 4 with 7) of random letter tiles. To score, form words by linking the letter tiles going in any direction (left, right, up or down). The player gets a larger bonus for longer words that are formed. Letters in the grid can be scrambled to make it easier for the player but at a cost. Created words are recorded by clicking “submit”.

Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury
Shmups are anchored on a coin-op business model that hinges greatly on player collapse hence they are difficult to complete.

The game is an extended six-hour battle. Its objective is … [Read More...]

In 1999 Third Strike was a craze in Japanese arcades but many new games have been created since then. Is it still near perfect twelve years later? Third Strike is a classic, a scientific work of genius. It has won over dozens of fighters. Its revolutionary ideas and procedures, namely the Parry system and EX Moves, became the foundation for many games in the genre up to the present. As an example, Mortal Kombat uses a super meter system similar to Street Fighter 4, an improvement on Third Strike's "Super Art" mechanics. Due to changing times, the arcades for which the game was designed … [Read More...]
