Codemasters Collection 1
SCORE: 80
I am so thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of the
Codemasters Collection 1 Evercade cartridge. This is the nineteenth
cartridge in the main line of their retro and indie game compilation
cartridges. There are seventeen games on Codemasters Collection 1. The
games on this cartridge are Bee 52, Big Nose Freaks Out, Big Nose the
Caveman, Boomerang Kid, CJ’s Elephant Antics, Cannon Fodder, Cosmic
Spacehead, F-16 Renegade, Linus Spacehead, Mega-Lo-Mania, MiG 29 Soviet
Fighter, Psycho Pinball, Sensible Soccer, Stunt Buggies, Super
Skidmarks, Tennis All Stars, and The Ultimate Stuntman.
Before I geek out too much over Codemasters Collection 1 I should be
honest, genuine, and real about the issues within this game. The issues
families can have with Codemasters Collection 1 are violence, false
gods, lack of attire, enticement to lust, and more. There are some
shooter violent video games within Codemasters Collection 1. There are
also numerous platformers, some sports games, and a culture builder. The
games on Codemasters Collection 1 are 8-bit and 16-bit. There are more
8-bit titles than 16-bit titles.
Codemasters is currently known for their racing games. Codemasters
Collection 1 shows that Codemasters had some interesting and different
ideas for games back in the day. Bignose and CJ’s Elephant are some
interesting characters on the Codemasters Collection 1 cartridge that
stuck out for me personally. Tennis All Stars was previously unreleased.
That alone is worth the twenty dollars to purchase this cartridge, with
case, and instruction manual. I feel Codemasters Collection 1 is
definitely worth the money especially if you like retro games.
Families can get some great entertainment and history from Codemasters
Collection 1. For example Tennis All Stars was changed and eventually
released as Pete Sampras Tennis. It is so cool to see the previous build
of the game. It is like getting a director’s raw cut. Psycho Pinball may
scare some of the younger members of the family. Codemasters Collection
1 has a lot of history for gamers interested in learning about the past
of our industry.
