BASEBALL STARS 2
Great little baseball game. But before buying be prepared to RAGE, cause game as arcade game was ment to take your coins. So winning in succesion isn’t easy, well only if you spend your childhood playing it. But for me as huge baseball fan that never played this before it takes a lot out of me. It will stress you to the point of losing your mind, but that sweet WIN makes up for it every single time. The biggest issue i have with it is NO SAVE option. And every game can take lot of time, 30-50 minutes deppending if there are extra innings. So playing 15 games league is almost impossible, except maybe pause idling it. But that is a big minus that you would have to do something like that just to be able to finish whole league. So every time you go out of the game you have to play from the start. Becasuse after every game you get option to select new and better player, making changes in your lineup, making you better as a team and giving the game replay value, But because there is no save option that is somewhat tedious to do.

WARNING:
Before you buy this sensational classic title, Please keep in mind that the save feature is 100% absent from this version of the game. I genuinely have zero idea why SNK thought it was a cute idea to remove this extremely vital feature, As it can actually make it possible for most regular people to complete the game. Instead, If your going for the World Championship game, You’re gonna need some tremendous skill, timing, knowledge, and of course, time. It took me about 6 to 7 hours to fully complete this game, & yes, I took a shower after playing. My soul hurts, for the extreme limits the user has to go through just to beat this game, & the lack of the F***** save feature. If you’re going for World Champion, Good Luck, & Godbless you.

Moto Racer Collection
When you press “PLAY” button it opens up a small menu window where you can select Moto Racer 1 - 4. Steam only tracks the menu, not the actual game you play but the menu only last until you select the game so it’s not easy to write a review unless you leave the menu on for awhile.
OK now, on to to more relevant review. Mostly no problem to run on my laptop except Moto Racer 3. The error message leads you to think that it’s a driver or Direct-x problem. Actually it’s a monitor resolution issue. Re-directing output to an external monitor and selecting 1280x960 resolution fixed this. Also might be needed is to manually assign texture memory in the advanced options. Mine had to be set at 256 MB, the default 32 MB didn’t work.

I’m not too sure what people were expecting with this collection, but from the reviews I hvae read, you people have been far too harsh for what it is and when it was made.
Moto Racer 1 is a PS1 game which, I believe, was ported to the PC (or released at the same time as the PS1 version). The graphics are old and it’s going to have the odd glitch and incompatibility now and then. Anyone without common sense should know that your ‘Octa core processor with SLI’d GTX 770s’ would have compatibility issues with a game from the 90s.

IMPORTANT:
- Do not activate “Persp. Poly” in “GFX Options” - otherwise the game crashes all the time.
WHY?
- Why did they remove all the cheat codes and map bugs? Map bugs are ok, but some of the cheat codes were really funny (e.g. view switching, only tires visible, etc.) Please bring them back!

This was my first computer game ever, in Germany its name was “Bleifuss Fun”. 20 years later it is still as much fun as in the past, it’s just a timeless game. Easy controls, simple gameplay. The races against the bots are challenging aswell as the maps; your car can crash down hills or can be smashed by rocks, avalance, etc. what slows you. Regarding the game is from 1997, you cannot expect thousands of cars and maps to select; I think for its age it has just the right ammount of choices.
It works without any problems on windows 7/10 via dos-box which is already applied by steam when you start the game. Thanks for bringing this old game back 3. Playing it on splitscreen-mode with friends gives you really old skool-vibez. Too bad the LAN-mode is disabled, though.

Slipstream 5000
Good game for those looking a more unique racing experience and not bothered by primitive 3D graphics.
Slipstream 5000 is a futuristic flight and combat racing game by Gremlin Interactive.
This game is a child of the 90s, from times when future was not all apocalypse and racing games dared to have other vehicles than automobiles.
The sounds of the planes, the craft and course design, radio chatter between competitors and the pre-race TV hosts introducing the upcoming track are few of the highlights which really make this futuristic world believable.

Super old game here, so you can’t really judge the graphics but for 20 years ago it’s pretty good! For primitive 3D graphics, it is impressive.

I just tried it out and everything works as you would imagine. I was able to use an Xbox 360 controller right out of the box, and the split-screen works fine as well. Even has networking modes which you may be able to get working at some point, essentially the game is untouched as it was released in 1995. Was able to use keyboard or mouse controls as well and there was no issues there, the learning curve is quite easy on this one.

Elasto Mania
Well, what can you say about a game you have played nearly every day for over 20 years? In my view no game gives the same feeling in terms of addictive, enjoyable and competitive gameplay, with its unique physics and also its wonderful community of gamers. For us who have been avid Elma players for decades, it’s almost surreal to finally see it getting its well-deserved Steam release (I have to give huge thanks to the new owners for being so collaborative with the “hardcore Elma scene” and doing their best to create a polished, modern Elma experience for Steam).

A classic viral game originally published as shareware in 2000. Fun and addictive because of the challenge of finishing the included levels. For beginners It’s so easy to mess up and die. For experienced players it’s an excellent speedrunning game, trying to master the hardest tricks and beat the impossible world records.
When you have finished a level and compare your time with the world records on moposite.com, they are just unbelievable, How can the levels be finished that fast? The replays It’s just fascinating, and the better you get the better will you appreciate them. Trying to copy their driving styles can be very hard and time consuming, but once you start mastering the more advanced driving techniques it really starts flowing and it’s a lot of fun. Maybe you are even able to do one of the “impossible” shortcuts, like jumping the pole straight across to the flower in level 10 The Steps?

River City Super Sports Challenge ~All Stars Special~
This game (originally released for the PlayStation 3) is a remake of Downtown Nekketsu Kōshinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundōkai, a hilarious and extremely popular Famicom game that is part of the Kunio-kun series. The game was also ported to the Game Boy and had a 3D re-imagining on the Nintendo DS. Though this remake doesn’t include some of the additions from those ports, the game makes up for it with a whole lot of substance: more teams, more characters, more techniques, character creation, team creation, stage creation, a robust single player mode and online play. The game has plenty of fan service for fans and players of previous Kunio-kun games.

A little history on this game for those that didn’t know or were too lazy to look up what this game is and was.
So first off: this game is a remake. This game is a revisioned version of what was orginally called in Japan: “Downtown - Nekketsu Koushin Kyoku Soreyuke Daiundokai” that’s originally from the NES. Like, this is a DIRECT remake. Almost everything is the same except it’s more expanded in terms of story, gameplay, and presentation. So this english name we got for the game is actually a reused name from a Nintendo DS title. Same function, a remake of the above, but overhauled most of the game. The DS title mentioned above is the first time America got its hands on it. The NES version has NEVER gotten a American release. So color me suprised that Arc systems did this again (as they were ones who did the DS version)

Atari Vault
This review is going to be an unusual one as I’m actually going to write about a game that’s ate up a lot of my ingame time so far. I speak of Atari’s 1982 Gravitar.
I picked up Gravitar in passing whilst trying the Atari Vault and my first reaction likely followed many people’s, “This… is really hard. I think I’d rather play something I’m familiar with like Centipede or Missile Command instead.” This stayed true until I crossed paths with the Atari 2600 version of Gravitar. “I remember Gravitar was hard, I’ll see how the 2600 version is.” It was actually easier in the sense the gravity was not as quick to drag you under…but difficult in that many tunnels and small gaps were introduced in the absence of sharp vector graphics. With persistence I became good at it and with preserverance I looped through the game’s four universes. I was impressed with the game and quickly returned to arcade Gravitar to see if I had misunderstood a challenging but skill rewarding game.

Update
Edit: Since an update came out to issue black screen/control issues present on release for some, I have to mention that here. So if you read a review writing about control issues, be aware that most of them are patched already.
Ping
Ever wondered if could you play Pong against one of your friends online? Loved watching Sega Fanboy Mark of Classic Game Room playing Centipede and Missile Command and eagered to do the same? Well, now you can. And it would be a huge mistake not to do that.

Cinemaware Anthology: 1986-1991
If you played them, as the games were released 30 years ago i recomend to play them again. They work fine on modern rigs. Windows 10 supported. Xbox one controller supported. No third party software required. Retro feeling granted.
I just played Lords of the Rising Sun to gain a perfect ending on master. Its difficult to get a clean emulation out there without Yoritomo attacked instantly by ninja or Yositsune being out of stamina all the time. As far as i know LotRS works similar to the Amiga original. Only diffrence i noticed on original was written touch swordhilt to continue and now they write press any key to continue.

Only recommended for those who played these back in the day, I really don’t think they would hold much appeal to anybody younger. The controls can be spongy, the gameplay objectives can be obtuse and a few of them just weren’t very good games even in their day. I purchased this primarily with the following five titles in mind: Rocket Ranger and Defender of the Crown (which I originally played on the C64) and TV Sports Basketball, Wings and It Came From The Desert (which I played on the Amiga). Wings and It Came From The Desert still hold up respectably well. I’ve found that DoC and RR are a bit too frustrating thanks to the squishy controls. TVS Basketball was a fun way to waste an hour, ahh the memories of that darn Cinemaware team shooting 70% from the field every game… but it’s not something with any real staying power.
