It's still a fun game, however the fun only last half hour max. I can still see myself play it again just to beat my score.

It's fun for the first loop. Afterwards, it starts to be redundant, especially when they removed one of the four stages of that game : the factory.

One of the most fun arcade games of his time. Yes, it's a simple space shooter game, but the fact that there's some strategie to it (like capturing your ship on purpose) makes the game even more fun. Only a 3 because it is still a product of his time and the fun doesn't last long.

Never been attached to this game. Yes the mecanics are really different from the arcade games of the time, but the game is really repetitive.

I review it around the same as Donkey kong on the NES. Few levels, the controls are not great. The vines mecanics in which climbing while holding two at the same time to go faster is interesting. Not enough replayability.

Basic space shooter. You can shoot in front of you or on the ground. There is not much else to it. If you like space shooter, it's a classic, but like any arcade games, it's okay for a short amount of time.

In solo mode, the game can be repetitve since it's the exact same level display, but with different enemies. The fireball can be annoying if you aren't fast enough. However, the game can be fun in 2 players. You can play it in coop to reach the farthest level, or you can play competitively, which make the game way more fun since you try to screw your friend over.

Yes it's true that the quick time event is really frustrating since they are really quick, when playing on a console (played on switch, but couldn't find on this site), you learn the pattern and you can reach the other room easily. The unlimited lives helps a lot. The animation is so fun and colorful that it's really impressive that this game really released in 1983.

This is unfortunately the worst of the DK original series. While the idea is good with the spray gun so that he goes in a bee hive, you will spend your time only mashing the spray gun button. I think they only put Donkry Kong in it because it would sell more copies.

This game is really hard to win. Since you can't control any AI on your team. It's basically a game of luck. The only real control you got is to hit the ball, throw the ball as a pitcher and throw the ball to which bases you want to throw. I know it is a game of his time, however I cannot give in good concious give a good score to this game since I had no fun at all playing this game.

While the controls are simple, winning a match is really hard. The AI is extremely good and the hit detection is not the best. I had my frustrating time with it, and now that it is over, I can finally move to a better game(I hope).

It's simple Pinball. The controls works really well and the game is simple fun. I really don't much to say except that.

It's a fun game. It's a mix of a puzzle game and execution game. It can be really difficult at times, but being able to control the AI is really nice. I would recommand it in small bursts since there's a lot of levels.

This game is really fun for how simple it is. The controls are really instictive since one of the button can be hold for flying normally and the other needs to be press multiple times to ajust your flight.
This game is also fun in two players where you try to beat all the levels in coop. Even if it's coop, you still wants to get more points than your friends (especially in the bonus rounds)
The last mode is really enjoyable and challenging since you want to reach the furthest as possible since lasting longer will give you points, but getting all the baloons will give you the most points.
A classic for NES and you should play it at least once

The concept of this game is really enjoyable. However, the controls is in the way of this game. The jump momentum is really inconsistent that it can be infuriating. The treadmill are hard to identify between the one that goes to the left and the one to the right (the orientation is only shown by the stripes). The two players mode helps, but can be annoying if one players goes too high
