3 Irem classics on one disc or
should that be 2 classics and one heap of crap? Irem Arcade Classics
feature Spartan X, Zippy Race and 10 Yard Fight.
Spartan X is by far the best game in this
collection and probably one that many of you older games will remember
well. Even to this day 22 years later (this page written in 2006) it
still plays pretty well for its age. For those who don't
know this game I'll tell you a little about
it. Basically your girl has been kidnapped so it's
up to you to enter the kidnapper's
hideout and make your way to the top floor. On
your travels you'll encounter all manner nasty
fellows who are all hungry for blood. These guys include standard
henchmen, karate masters, dagger throwers and of course bad ass boss
guys. Also included on the disc is a video play through of what is
probably the fastest and most perfect play of the game.
Zippy Race is a pretty good chase against time racer viewed from an
overhead prospective for the most part. There are 6 stages in total as
you travel across America to New York. Unfortunately the levels are
always the same two designs repeated with a slight difference in course
layout. Still, it is pretty good fun and once you complete the game you
can ride on the next model up bike for more faster thrills.
10 Yard Fight is a dire sad American football game that features
characters who all seem to move in the exact
same direction at all times. ‘Nuff said !
