Gaelco Arcade 1
SCORE: 65
I am extremely thankful I had the money to purchase the Gaelco Arcade
1 cartridge on the Evercade systems. I think some of the games on Gaelco
Arcade 1 will be even better on the Evercade EXP in that TATE mode.
There are six games on the Gaelco Arcade 1 cartridge. The six games on
this cartridge are Alligator Hunt, Thunder Hoop, World Rally,
Biomechanical Toy, Glass, and Snow Board Championship. There are two
shooting games, two sports games, one puzzle, and one platformer. The
platformer seems a bit odd for arcades in my opinion.
Gaelco Arcade 1 taught me some things as well. I had never heard of
Gaelco before. I may have played some of their games and forgotten the
company entirely. I also did not know that Piko Interactive bought out
the rights to their arcade video games. For me Gaelco Arcade 1 is a very
educational experience. The only two games within Gaelco Arcade 1 that
seem vaguely familiar are World Rally and Snow Board Championship.
The issues families will have with Gaelco Arcade 1 are blood, violence,
lack of attire, enticement to lust, and more. Glass surprised me. There
is a boys mode or a girls mode. The goal of the worlds is to clear these
tiles and then get a picture. I did some research and found that Glass
in the arcades had nude women. In boys mode on the Evercade version
there are cat drawings, and in girls mode there are silhouettes of
women. I did some additional research and found that Blaze Entertainment
kept the nudity out of their version of the game.
Biomechanical Toy reminds me of Sega Saturn video games. The art style,
graphics, characters and more just screams that kind of a video game. I
learned to take it slow and steady in Gaelco Arcade 1. The select button
on the Evercade is used to add credits in all of the games on the Gaelco
Arcade 1 cartridge. World Rally is very forgiving to the players. I
really enjoyed racing those tracks and seeing those graphics.
Snow Board Championship is a fun snowboarding video game that everyone
in the family can enjoy. The gameplay in Glass is actually a lot of fun.
Thunder Hoop and Biomechanical Toy both have platformer elements even
though Biomechanical Toy is all about shooting the enemies. Alligator
Hunt is also about shooting the enemies that come right at the
character. I am absolutely loving being able to play arcade video games
on the hand held and home console.
