The three games of the moment
Three iconic games to rediscover. The selection changes every week.
Arcade
1942
1984 · Capcom · Shoot'em Up / Vertical · 1-2 player(s)
"1942" is a vertically-scrolling shoot-em-up set in the Pacific theater during World War II, in which the goal is to reach Tokyo and destroy the entire Japanese air fleet. The player pilots a plane, the "Super Ace" and has to shoot down waves of enemy planes while avoiding incoming enemy fire and performing a limited number of rolls to evade enemy planes and shots. During the game, waves of red enemy planes periodically appear. If the player manages to destroy a red wave, a power-up will be dropped and can be picked up to win either increased power (doubling the player's guns from two to four), a smart bomb that destroys all on-screen enemy planes the instant it's collected, two wingmen planes that flank the plane and increase firepower, or simply extra points. At the end of each stage, the 'Super Ace' lands on an aircraft carrier and bonus points are awarded based on player performance. "1942" differs from other games in that its levels are numbered in reverse order.
Arcade
Altered Beast
1988 · SEGA · Beat'em Up · 1-2 player(s)
You are a hero raised from the dead by the god Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena. With scenery inspired by Ancient Greece, you have to fight hordes of undead and demons, with a boss at the end of each level until you meet the god Neff, who holds the girl captive. The Altered Beast title refers to your shapeshifting abilities. In this platformer, you can collect spirit balls by defeating two-headed wolves, allowing you to mutate into different beasts such as a werewolf, a dragon, a tiger, a bear and others depending on the version. Each form, tied to a level, comes with special abilities such as flight and powerful attacks, easily superseding the basic set of punches and kicks in your human form.
Mega Drive
Sonic The Hedgehog
1991 · SEGA · Platform · 1 player(s)
Sonic The Hedgehog breaks the limits of traditional video games with speed, style, and wild action. Blast through loops with the Super Sonic Spin Attack, launch through tunnels, and spin through 360-degree mazes. Gravity? Doesn't matter. Standing still? Not an option. This is a rush of speed you won't want to stop.
