75 32% | UNO (1971) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"This is good game on a variety of levels. As a family night game, it's an all-around good choice. Back in the day, it worked well for my preschooler as a teaching tool for colors and numbers."

78 38% | Lemmings (1991) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"This is an addictive little level puzzle featuring these cute little critters. It tends to get repetitive and really doesn't have replay value. New versions and special editions kept it fresh for a while. I play it every time I get a new platform and then promptly forget about it again."

82 55% | Joe Montana Football (1990) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"I'm giving this a higher review than it deserves purely out of nostalgia. My wife and I played the HELL out of this game when it came out. It had great game play, intuitive controls, and a great playbook. BUT NO NFL LICENSING, therefore no team names or player names. If you wanted that, you had to play John Madden, which in 1990 was not as good."

35 8% | Backgammon (1500) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"I know. It's a classic. I've played it a dozen times. Is this supposed to be fun or just a time suck while I'm waiting to die? Did I miss something? Was there strategy? Logic? Story? Excitement? Intrigue? ROMANCE? No, huh. Just roll the dice, huh? Move the pieces. What about the doubling cube? Oh, it's like parsley huh - it's usually just there for looks. Hard pass. Oh! Can I keep the dice cups? I can use those for my D&D Dice! No... you want to keep the set together."

80 47% | Ballz (1994) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"Silliest fighting game I've ever played. 3D rendering before 3D rendering was a thing. Smack talking. Vulgar and crude played up for laughs. ADMINISTERING SMACKIES! If you can find the cart, pick it up."

45 14% | Pac-Man (1982) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"Pretty Bad Port. Even for the Atari. I said as much when I got it... when it was new (I'm old). Still, it introduced me to some programming concepts that I would use later. Also, the game had a very simple pattern, once you figured it out you'd never die."

65 20% | Altered Beast (1988) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE! It's slow. Graphically, it lacks from the arcade significantly. As the first Pack-in, it doesn't show off the 16 bit system. You could still get the Sega Master System at this point and this game wouldn't have been much of a reason to get a Genesis. Side note: Look at this game compared to Toy Story years later - the difference in quality on the SAME HARDWARE is remarkable!"

85 67% | Rock Band (2007) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"I had terrible rhythm, but I still enjoyed this game. The rest of my family and coworkers killed me at this game. My biggest complaint was the amount of setup time this game took. I had all of the DLC content. I even bought the Beatles version (with the really cool McCartney guitar). We would get 4 players going and have epic sessions going. A game sorely missed."

85 67% | Microsoft Minesweeper (1990) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"I have only beaten the hard level ONCE, but I did beat it. Bill Gates once said that his biggest mistake in his entire career was Minesweeper because he personally lost more productivity due to the game. It's logical. It's methodical. It's addictive. And it has a friendly smiley face."

90 88% | Cards Against Humanity (2009) - Rated 17 Aug 2019
"The best NSFW party game I've ever played. But CAH, like with ANY game is only as fun as the group you are play with. Don't play with your family. Don't play with your boss. Don't listen to the negative reviews here."
