Here we are with the last installment of this four-part
article. The Simpsons Arcade Game (arcade, 1991) Released during
The Simpsons TV series second season run, Konamis The Simpsons
Arcade Game was yet another beat em up released in the wake of
Double Dragon and Final Fight. As with most of these games in this
genre, they each tried to differentiate themselves with their own
set of gameplay gimmicks. While Simpsons Arcade certainly had its
fair share of those (most prominently, its team-up attacks which
differed depending on which two characters were used and,
furthermore, who initiated the tag team move), it obviously also
gained a lot of mileage because of its association with the famed
hit TV show. Years down the line, this game would be one of only
three Simpsons video games (among twenty-five, at last count) that
gamers deem worthy of playing, the other two being The Simpsons:
Hit & Run and the simple-titledThe Simpsons Game. Both games
are Grand Theft Auto-style sandbox games, which definitely added to
their appeal. While you cant get the GTA-style games on the iPhone,
you can download The Simpsons Arcade, so what are you waiting
for?
Here we are with the last installment of this four-part
article. Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis, 1991) Ah, the mascot that
singlehandedly put Sega in serious contention with eventual
16-bit-wars winner Nintendo. While Nintendo may have come out on
top, theres no denying that Segas blue hedgehog was a force to be
reckoned with. Jumpstarting the mascots with attitude trend (for
better or worse), Sonic the Hedgehog displayed what the Genesiss
supposed blast-processing technology was capable of, by allowing
players to blaze through the games stages at breakneck speeds; and
if theres one thing the Sonic games are known for, its speed. The
excellent sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is also available for
download for the iPhone. The third game in the main series is
nowhere to be seen as of yet, though. However, both chapters of the
recently released Sonic 4 are should you wish to experience
old-school Sonic platforming with current-gen graphics.
Here we are with the last installment of this four-part
article. X-Men (arcade, 1992) Konamis other noteworthy arcade beat
em up aside from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the
aforementioned Simpsons Arcade, X-Men was not based on the early
90s X-Men TV series as most people believe, but rather on the
failed TV pilot X- Men: Pryde of the X-Men which came before it.
Nevertheless, that doesnt detract from X-Menthe arcade games fun
factor one bit. After all, where else could you find a game where
you can hook up six cabinets to get six gamers playing
simultaneously with an ultra-widescreen view of the playing field?
While the iPhone download cant support six-player co-op, it should
still be a fun experience.
Here we are with the last installment of this four-part
article. Wolfenstein 3D (PC, 1992) The granddaddy of FPSes. Blazing
guns. Hordes of enemies. 3D environment. Robot Hitler. Need I say
more? The gameplay is definitely archaic compared to present
standards (yes, even more archaic than Duke Nukem 3D), but for
sheer nostalgic fun, this just cant be beat. And there you have it:
Fifteen retro games that recall the fun of yesteryear, all
available for downloading on theiPhone. If I have one gripe amidst
this sea of gaming goodness, its that they havent made the
venerable classicSuper Mario Bros. available yet. What a damn
shame.
