Technos Arcade 1
SCORE: 65
I am very thankful I had enough money to purchase Technos Arcade 1 on
the Evercade systems. There are eight arcade quality video games on this
cartridge. The eight games on Technos Arcade 1 are Mysterious Stones,
Block Out, Combatribes, Double Dragon II The Revenge, Double Dragon 3
The Rosetta Stone, Mania Challenge, Minky Monkey and Battle Lame Vol 5.
Technos Arcade 1 includes one puzzle game, four violent games, two
action games, and one wrestling video game. Some of the games within
Technos Arcade 1 are intuitive. Others will require some practice and
research to figure out. The stand out game for me in Technos Arcade 1 is
Block Out. We drop down 3D blocks into a pit. We must clear lines. We
can rotate the blocks all over the place. It does take a bit of practice
to figure out what we are rotating and in which direction. Ultimately
Block Out is a ton of fun for one family member at a time.
The Mania Challenge wrestling video game within Technos Arcade 1 can be
interesting for multiple family members. The controls take a lot of
practice to figure out. Thankfully Technos Arcade 1 comes with a manual
so families can learn the controls. Minky Monkey reminds me of some
Donkey Kong video games. Honestly I found Minky Monkey to be extremely
annoying.
The issues families will have with Technos Arcade 1are violence, blood,
lack of attire, enticement to lust, language, and more. Battle Lane Vol
5 has players riding around on a motorcycle shooting characters on other
vehicles. We have two of the Double Dragon video games on the Technos
Arcade 1 cartridge. It is strange that the arcade version of the first
Double Dragon was not included on the Technos Arcade 1 cartridge. The
Technos Collection 1 has the NES version of Double Dragon and Double
Dragon 2 on it.
One of the coolest things about Technos Arcade 1 is the arcade is
emulated perfectly. We press the select button to add a credit. We can
keep adding credits so we can keep playing games within Technos Arcade
1. It makes it really easy for those of us that like to retain video
game history and play games from the start to the finish. The majority
of video games within Technos Arcade 1 are for one or more family
members. I love how families can work together in the Double Dragon
games.
