    Remember when you thought getting wasted was going to be the coolest thing ever? And then you woke up in a pool of your own filth and the Party Life didn't look so glamorous. Yeah, bringing arcade games to the living room is kinda like that. I mean, who wouldn't have killed a man back in the day to have a full-on version of the cool games we played in the arcades residing in the family living room. Forgetting for the moment that your folks would never have gone for that,... Read more

    While there’s much to like about 18 Wheeler, it’s a good arcade to home translation with solid gameplay, excellent controls, a solid graphics engine and innovative racing action, there is still one over-riding issue that really undermines the entire game. What it comes down to is this: while 18 Wheeler is extremely enjoyable, it is also disappointingly short and lacks depth. Despite the extra modes put on the GD-ROM, the low replay value isn’t mitigated by these... Read more

    Now, with the advent of super consoles and high-resolution displays and enhanced audio environments for the home, titles developed for play in the living room have met and outpaced the programs developed for arcades. Increasingly, conventional arcade titles are being replaced with games that require specialized equipment not typically found in the home. Gimmicky coin-ops are the norm because crowds need more of an incentive to come in. Whereas gamers were once ecstatic... Read more

    You may remember going into the amusements and wasting all your money on 'Sega Rally' or some other arcade game like it. Well, by buying this game, you are also wasting your money. Read more
