"Great Tribute Game"

submission: RaidenX

date: October 30, 2006

Although this doesn't have the feeling of a true Raiden game, it does have all the elements (but not all the hectic action) to make it a great tribute game.

I'm not completely up with the save function (as the original doesn't have that feature), I can't complain as it allows me to play the game in chunks that I can handle.

Although I'd like to see graphics closer to the arcade games, it's still enjoyable to play.

Score: 4

"Good, but not a MAME replacement"

submission: Flip8 Redux: an emulator

date: October 30, 2006

While this can't hold a candle to MAME, I will give it some credit for being a very flexible & versatile flash game series.

There are some issues the code that could have been pounded out to make some of the game work better, but it's pretty good as is & impressive that most of the work is done purely in Actionscript.

I'd like to see how well you can make a single flash game with graphic that are more suitable to today's expectations.

"Bastardized!"

submission: Bomb Jack

date: October 30, 2006

Sorry, but as a classic gamer (& arcade buff)... this is a bastardized version of the beloved game. No classic sounds, no classic levels, no classic enemies besides the mummies... NO FUN PERIOD!

I'd rather play the MAME version instead of this as it's a sad, sad recreation of good game that plays like crap due to bad flash programmers...
