Fulfilling the expectations of old-school gamers, Retro Power Pack keeps the aesthetics of the original 1980s games. Green gamma, primitive graphics, and beeping sounds resurrect the charm of the old arcade. You travel through time in comfort, with fully customizable controls. Retro Power Pack includes four variations on arcade evergreens. In Spheroids, your spaceship shoots dangerous asteroid-like spheres. Mega Muncher eats his way through huge labyrinths. Patriot Command puts you in charge of an anti-meteorite battery of missiles protecting a city. Lastly, in Vector Invaders, the most stamina-demanding game, you must challenge ranges of advancing space aliens. The Internet-based high-score table completes the arcade feel. Nostalgic gamers should eat this up like Pac-Man crunches blue ghosts.Publisher's description
From Dillinger Flynn :Retro Power Pack is a compilation of four classic arcade games. These top-quality games cover all the major genres of '80s video games: shooting at banks of aliens, shooting missiles as they stream down the screen, munching dots, and blasting things that split apart in space. Spheroids, Mega Muncher, Patriot Command, and Vector Invaders all capture the feeling of '80s arcades at home on your PC. Compete with players from around the world for a place on the high-score table, which is shared over the Internet among all players.

"Asteroids.....galaga and more"
Summary: Very nice game, not much to the graphics, but there wasn't much to the graphics back in the 80s. Very nice....although it says you get 5 games, I see my countdown timer starting at 10 and counting down. I imagine you get 10 minutes of play for 5 t... read more >>
