ROM CHECK FAIL

is a lot like...

Selfish GAME from Mallory by Leonard Richardson except it's more simplified, but the basic concept is there. Break apart the games into smaller elements that can then be interchanged with other elements in an effort to make a new game. Possibly one that's more fun.

I have to admit this is rather fun not only from a nostalgia point of view, but that literally everytime you play it's slightly different. There's a small learning curve at the beginning for those who haven't played some of these classic arcade games, but you'll figure it out as the controls are super simple.....arrow keys move you around, space bar fires/jabs. It's fast paced, randomizing the levels, your character, and the enemy type every few seconds but your's and their placement remains static. A good strategy seems to be, if you don't like the character just sit still and wait if you can. Oh and Alt+Enter will make it fullscreen as it starts out rather small. Enjoy!
