There are 2 downfalls/challenges to the game. 1)The difficult tracks. They are really hard and you may find yourself thinking they are crazy if they think you should be able to do it. But, it always works out and you will feel good for doing what no one else figured out. 2)The violence. The blood is not often seen and in comparison to most games today it is not a lot. However, the crashes are often expansive and can leave your drivers falling long distances, hitting a lot of objects, being blown up, etc. and all while often making painful (I believe they are supposed to be comical) sounds. This is really up to the parent/individual to decide if this is appropriate.

All-in-all, this game is a blast! It is just old fashioned gamer fun. Side scrolling at it’s best. Hope this helps and I hope that you enjoy this game and have all the laughs my family and friends have had playing trials.

Remember to keep online gaming clean! God bless!

Includes EverQuest and 14 expansions along with an in-game mount for each account. Cheaper to buy a copy of SoF than reactive an account and pay the first month!

Arrived with minutes and worked perfectly.

Hope this helps!!

Sinistar has never peaked my interest much to begin with, but I did test drive it a bit in the Treasures collection so I do know how it should run. This GBA version plays too fast, resulting in almost continuous collisions with asteroids, which clutter the screen as it is. The wonky control scheme has the player rotating his ship using the directional pad, which might work except for the crowding asteroids and the stopping point for each rotation at a 45 degree angle from the direction being pressed.

Joust has almost equally disappointing game play in that it runs too slowly. the player’s ostrich floats downward through the air, and the enemy mounted buzzards appear to stay at the same speed as the initial levels. Despite the slower speed, once 4-5 buzzards are flying in the same tier, they become glitchy with the constant bumping into each other. The “unbeatable” pterodactyl does not hunt the player, it only patrols the screen. I think I accidentally killed the pterodactyl while standing and facing away from it. Finally, there appears to be a bubble surrounding the player that when burst causes the player to expire.

Robotron 2084 was never intended for a Game Boy. The unique control scheme, duplicated in Smash TV, is perfect for this game. A clever attempt was made to modify this title for two buttons by using one to fire and one to keep the player in one place while changing the shot direction with the D-pad. That alteration might have been acceptable (since it was necessary), but the game also plays more slowly, and the floor mines do not affect any of the enemy robots like in the original.

Defender in this collection is just as difficult as the original, but it does not look like the original after the first level. This title also plays slightly slower than it should, especially in the shots fired by the landers.

With other cartridges out there offering only two titles, this would have been a great deal at $5-$10. However, there is no redeeming value in the presentation whatsoever. There are no options, generally basic title screens, and no game tips or game history, and no high scores will be saved. If you are hankering for some retro gaming, look for a different collection or just buy the two or three games you really want.
