Donkey Kong 3	Nintendo (Nintendo EAD)	1984	[media=youtube]https://youtu.be/p4A5zoBuEzA[/media]* [22]* [52]* [47]A strange entry in the Donkey Kong game series. Graphics are nice and it is a playable game, but it ultimately lacks variety and does not have the kind of "evergreen" status like the original Donkey Kong.**Based on the third game in the enormously popular arcade series, Donkey Kong 3 introduces an exterminator named Stanley as he desperately tries to protect the flowers in his greenhouse from Donkey Kong. Armed only with a can of bug spray, Stanley must force Donkey Kong higher and higher into the greenhouse rafters until Donkey Kong is off the screen and the next stage is reached. Not surprisingly, Donkey Kong isn't going to move without a fight, so he sends wave after wave of bugs, bees and other creatures toward Stanley. Not only must Stanley repel the insects in order to save the flowers, but he'll also have to keep an eye out for projectiles thrown by Donkey Kong himself. If Stanley is good enough, he'll be able to grab a can of more powerful bug spray and really get Donkey Kong moving. It all adds up to frantic fun that anyone can enjoy.	NES
Galaga	Namco;Bandai (Namco)	1985	[100]* [49]* [33]* [52]* [37]*Faithful arcade port with good playability, but gameplay feels a bit old.*Move the fighters right and left and defend against the missiles and suicide attacks of the Galaga aliens and the Galaga Commander through infinite levels of play - with every third level having a challenging stage! Retrieve captured fighters from the descending Galaga Commander tractor-beam and double your firepower!	NES
Galaxian	Namco	1984	The Galaxian Fleet has invaded and it's up to you to stop them. There's two-way action in this game; as you fire at them, they're firing back at you! All that is required of you is quick reflexes and an accurate aim. Can you destroy the Galaxian Fleet before they destroy you?*Released only in Japan. Night Arrow is a pirate version from China A prototype NTSC version was created for a USA release but remains unreleased.*In 1979 Galaxian was a milestone in the arcades and the NES version is an accurate port. But that doesn't make the game more interesting or less monotonously five years later. Always the same repetitive waves of enemies accompanied with plain graphics and sound.	NES
Millipede	HAL Laboratory;HAL America (HAL Laboratory)	1987	You are lost in a dark, perilous, and enchanted forest. Dark dangerous mushrooms push up through the squishy forest floor, snaring you on every side. Something slimey flashes through the mushrooms, moving in on you. The MILLIPEDE, not a normal size one, but the gigantic monster, is attacking you. All you have to fight back with is the magic arrow. Shoot his head to turn him into mushrooms. But that is not the only thing attacking you. There are more creepy, crawling, buzzing, swarming creatures in this forest. Keep fighting with your magic arrow. If you are lucky, you may survive. Watch out, here they come!*Like most other ports of old, classic arcade games for the NES, Millipede is quite playable, fast and stays true to the arcade original. But the gameplay feels a bit too old for a 1987/88 release. After a couple of tries I got bored and didn't get any motivation for playing more, because except accumulating a higher score there is no goal in this game. Oh and why did they put an archer-like character on the game box and a story of your character being lost in a field of giant mushrooms, and at the same time they call your character sprite "ship" in the game?*ミリピード巨大昆虫の逆襲 / Milli-Pede:巨大昆虫の逆襲, HAL-ML, 1987-10-01 in Japan Millipede 1988-10, HAL-ML-USA, in USA Its centipede with added enemies, bonus levels, creeping mushrooms, and DDT bombs. This game also uses a flying craft armed with a laser like weapon instead of the garden gnome armed with a magic wand. The main objective is to shoot the millipede. Shoot it in the middle and the remaining sections will run around independently of each other. One of 4 prototypes presented by Nintendo to Atari as part of their deal to partner with them to bring the Famicom to North America. The potential deal was forgotten and ignored moments later as Atari began to considered that the 1983-84 video game market crash was possibly the end of videogames rather than a long-term pause in the market. These prototypes are not under copyright but do contain trademarks. [quote]Nintendo will, in the interests of expediency for this Christmas season, program 4 Atari titles of our choice.[/quote] [Zerothis]	NES
Pooyan	Hudson Soft	1985	You control Mama pig and defend your little pig family with a bow and arrows against attacking wolves. Shoot the balloons and the wolves fall to their death. Hudson did a good job by bringing an accurate port of the classic Konami arcade game Pooyan to the Famicom system.	NES
Space Invaders	Taito (Tose)	1985	Attention all Earthlings! Relentless alien hordes have been identified near you. Prevent the dangerous Space Invaders from landing on your territory. Use your cannon to defend against waves of descending alien invaders. Don't let them hit the ground or it's all over for you and the Earth! Destroy them and score points!***As a Famicom/NES game Space Invaders is a big disappointment. The gameplay is slow and even in 1985 the gameplay must have felt like being from a distant age where games were overly simple. Graphics and sound are also true to the original and thus outdated. If you can't help yourself and you feel the urge to play an old-school arcade shoot'em up conversion on the NES then you better go for [game=#7813]Galaga[/game].	NES
