Data East Arcade 1
SCORE: 72
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase the Data East Arcade 1
for the Evercade systems. There are ten games on the Data East Arcade 1.
The ten games are Burger Time, Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja, Gates of Doom,
Wizard Fire, Breakthru, Tumblepop, Darwin 4078, Sly Spy, Chain Reaction,
and Lock ‘n’ Chase. Seven of the games in the Data East Arcade 1
collection compilation cartridge contain violence. There are two puzzle
games, and a Pac-Man clone. The coolest thing is these are arcade
quality video games.
The graphics range in Data East Arcade 1. There is plenty of shooting,
punching, and kicking within Data East Arcade 1. We can also use magical
powers in a couple of the games included within Data East Arcade 1. We
can add as many credits as we want in Data East Arcade 1 to keep playing
the games. Be careful because you will not always be able to continue
forever. Even with all those credits Burger Time would give me a game
over and make me start over from the first level.
Some of these games may play better in Tate mode when the Evercade EXP
releases. That is my personal hope anyways. Sly Spy and Bad Dudes vs.
DragonNinja have some large character models for the era. It is neat to
see the arcade versions which were always better in that era than the
home versions. There are plenty of other arcade video games I would love
to see on the Evercade systems in the future. Maybe I will do an article
and/or a video on the topic. Would ya’ll like that?
Chain Reaction is a fun puzzle video game where we must pull down
objects and send them back up to make them go away. If you play the game
right you can make some amazing combinations that nearly trashes the
entire screen. Burger Time is a well known arcade game that families can
enjoy. Lock ‘n’ Chase is a total clone of Pac-Man. Gates open and close
adding an interesting wrinkle to the gameplay. Tumblepop is an
interesting game where we suck in monsters and send them back out to
trash other monsters on the screen.
RPG gamers will take an interest in Wizard Fire, and Gates of Doom. They
are more action and beat them up than your typical role playing game. It
would be hard to have an arcade game with turn based battles unless a
quarter paid for so much in game time. Darwin 4078 is my least favorite
game in Data East Arcade 1. The shooting action bores me. The shooting
in BreakThru is better in my opinion.
