Axelay is a perfect game.
Now now, put down dem pitchforks. I could never say that a game is TRULY perfect. There's always a flaw and there's always improvements to be made. Nothing in life has ever been or ever will be perfect. But to use a loose definition of the word, and to keep in mind the time it was made, Axelay is indeed perfect.
2013! My first article of the year! It's also my first commissioned article! Thanks to Oblivion for asking me to take a closer look at one of the games I enjoyed in my youth!
Let's give the retro a break. For the last article of 2012, I'll be going over my favourite Modern games!
To start off, an Honourable Mention.
There's opinions to be had. Let's get right to it!
Thanks to the generosity of Lazlo, Quality Roms is now hosting Retro of the Week. What does this mean for RotW? Well, it means more up-time (my home connection is pretty lacking), and much more server load available (our old server was a Pentium 4 machine). Other than that, you should notice nothing different. Of course, please report any bugs you come across, I'd really appreciate it.
Also be sure to check out Argus' latest top 10, Top 10 NES games.
To be honest, the NES never had much of an impact on me.
I mean, yes, I've played some damn good games on it. I can't deny that there's examples of solid gold in the NES library.
So here we go. The most nostalgic console for me.
Yes, more than the NES.
My older brother had an NES and a Master System when I was growing up. His selection of NES games wasn't all that... Impressive? Hell, I can barely remember what he had for it.
But that Master System I remember.
So it never occurred to me to do these in weekly installments.
Why? Dunno. Let's fix that.
