By the way, I just got a press release from Spike Chunsoft that Bakeru is on sale until the end of January for up to 60 percent off. I don't know which version it is (PC or Switch) because I didn't look into it further, but it might be something for you to look into.
If you like Metroidvanias you should check out Yars Rising.
This is one of the reasons why I prefer physical over digital. But in Card Jockey's case, you don't have a choice.
Glad you like Arkanoid DS. Now you hopefully understand why I was gushing about it. Isn't the music great? A lot of reviewers panned the game, but I loved it.
I don't think the GBC Space Invaders is the same as the SNES version. The Space Invaders Extreme games are amazing. They came out around the same time as Arkanoid DS so Taito must've been eating their spinach then.
Definitely look into Bakeru. It's one of the better games I played last year.
Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On is a lot like the 3DS version, but it's still super fun.
I never liked Alleyway. It was just Arkanoid without the fun power-ups.
That's cool you got the NES version of Arkanoid. That was one of the first games I bought for the NES becuase it was one of the few games my dad would play, and I thought the included paddle controller was cool.
Bookworm is a really fun game.
Glad you got the PSOne version of Breakout. It's pretty fun and I think it's better than the Pong PS1 game. And it's just as creative as that one is. Plus it's one of the first games I saw my brother Jeff beat as a little kid. He loved it.
Oh no, that Retro Atari game is really bad. They tried to update and remake Atari games with grafitti style artwork and it doesn't gel.
I'm jealous you got the SNES version of Space Invaders. That was one of the last SNES games released in the US. I do have the SNES version of Arkanoid, though. It was called Arkanoid: Doh it Again.
I THINK the 50th Anniversary of Namco Museum has the arcade Arrangement versions of titles like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and Galaga, and they're really good.
Star Fox Zero is one of the worst games Nintendo ever made, just so you know.
You might want to read my GOTY blog which I'm about to post. Might help make that decision to play that Zelda game soon. :)
You're not missing much with Quester. Only interesting thing about that game is they made a different version of it with levels designed by fans.
The Irem one is only good if you REALLY like run and guns. The Taito one is good if you like Rastan and Bubble Bobble games.
