Jaleco Arcade 1
SCORE: 67
I am very thankful I was blessed enough to
be able to purchase a copy of the Jaleco Arcade 1 multi-game cartridge
for the Evercade systems. There are eight games on this cartridge. The
games on the Jaleco Arcade 1 cartridge are 64th Street A Detective
Story, Avenging Spirit, Cybattler, E.D.F. Earth Defense Force, P-47 The
Phantom Fighter, Rodland, Saint Dragon, and The Astyanax. Half of the
games on the Jaleco Arcade 1 cartridge are shooters.
There are some weird games in Jaleco Arcade 1 too. Avenging Spirit and
Rodland come to mind. In Avenging Spirit we play a ghost that possess
other characters. Those characters then go on a rampage destroying all
of the other characters in a 2D side scroller. When your host body takes
too much damage you go and take control of another character. The powers
can change depending on the character. I was a guy with a gun shooting
everyone and then a dragon breathing fire when I blitzed through a few
levels in this game. In Rodland we take a young lady with a rod and can
move monsters from one side to another. We must walk over all of the
flowers and take out the enemies in the screens we are on. Rodland feels
like a puzzle game to me in most regards.
64th Street A Detective Story is a Final Fight like game. The main
difference is there is a more interesting and engaging story going on.
The violence gets really dull after a bit. The Astyanax is a 2D side
scrolling video game. I remember playing the 8-bit NES version and the
arcade version is way better. We are in a side scrolling 2D action
adventure video game where we destroy all of these monsters in our path.
Jaleco Arcade 1 is way too heavy on violence in my opinion. There is
also some lack of attire, enticement to lust, magic, false gods, and
more. We blow up all kinds of ships in Jaleco Arcade 1. We destroy a
plethora of monsters like skeletons for example. I am not the biggest on
shooter video games and at least half of the games on this cartridge are
shooters. Saint Dragon is a bit different since we have this massive
dragon that we play. Cybattler was just confusing to me.
Jaleco Arcade 1 is not the best Evercade cartridge out there and it is
not the worst. There are a few interesting concepts and games on the
Jaleco Arcade 1 cartridge in my opinion.
