    Plasma Pong
    Even if it is not really, as is often the first video game in history, Atari Pong is undoubtedly the game behind the phenomenon. Two rackets, a ball: a concept could not be simpler, who asked not to be "remixed" for new generations. It is the bias of Plasma Pong, a variant of the "psychedelic" to the classic also adds a detail that original visually pleasing: the ground is bathed in a luminous plasma, to create effects with the ball or shock waves. Please note: physics can turn against you and the ball back in your camp. Everything is real fireworks may seem somewhat confusing but so pleasant that you can hardly blame the authors this deluge of vision.

    The Pac Man X
    Reserved for Mac owners, Pac Man X leaves no doubt about its origins: it is of course a remake of Pac Man, the classic Namco that we will not insult the exhibit. In addition to graphics and animation sober but pleasant (levels of different colors and textures, smooth animations), Pac Man X offers some nice innovations. Firstly, the game offers 25 different levels. We can play with Pac Man and Ms Pac Man, but also with the two since Pac Man is designed to be played in two simultaneously. For specialists glutton yellow, if you think you've mastered the game to the point where nothing makes you fear, try the "Master": here are your spotings in darkness, with a limited field of vision. Directed by the authors of an excellent clone of Bubble Bobble, unfortunately paying, Pac Man X enjoy the same qualities: a flawless achievement, a profound respect for the original game and a few innovations felt well. What make jealous Windows users!

    Trackballs
    Appearing in the mid-80, Marble Madness was a game arcade Atari (especially known for its famous Amiga version, by Electronic Arts), fairly unique for its 3D isometric view, its geometric decoration impressive for the time and its mode of control as it flew with a trackball. Hence, without doubt, the title of this remake free, Trackballs. The principle is identical: run a ball until the end of the trail more and more twisty and narrow, fighting against its inertia, but also against various obstacles. Unlike the original game that was false 3D, Trackballs enjoys vector sets quite simple but pleasant. The game is equally immediate and catchy as its model, and even if it begins to accuse a certain age, it remains a remake properly made a game that ages well. (re) discover!

    Icy Tower
    A little less well known that most classics presented in this selection, Icy Tower is based on Nebulus, a set of platforms created by the publisher deceased Hewson, who included the golden days of the Amstrad CPC or Commodore 64. The goal is simple: climb to the top of a tower. The originality (for time) has the effect pretty well platforms that seem to turn 360 degrees. Your task is complicated by the fact that the scene scrolls automatically. Not always easy in this case, not falling into the void. The remake is nothing extraordinary but should satisfy the nostalgic, even if we regret the absence of the globular bug in the eyes of the original version.

    Hurrican
    The owners of Amiga and the Atari ST (but also Mega Drive or Super NES) remember undoubtedly Turrican, a mixture of game platforms and shoot them up to the realization impeccable, created by a editor at the time flagship, Rainbow Arts. Hurrican is a new remake that means moving to a higher level, with graphics completely redone, which is actually the case but we regret their appearance may be too "pre-calculated". Exited this small defect, found the atmosphere and the playability of the original and is a true pleasure. Little detail that will snatch a nostalgic tear for all owners of 16-bit computer: a false intro pirate is even placed the launch of the game, with his music "MOD" and its colorful scroll bars during the "decompression". Rather well done, and taking, Hurrican will keep you in suspense.
