The Cold War
When I was seven years old, I used to have one of those controllers that you can plug into a T.V. and play the variety of games that was on the controller. The controller was shaped like a box with a joystick, two buttons, and I think a start button. I usually sit in my playroom with a little T.V. that was placed on a rack with my brother sitting next to me. All the games on the controller were all arcade games, and most of them were released on the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Atari 2600. Some of the games that I remembered were Galaga, Frogger, this Kung-fu, Street Fighter sort of game, and Rush’n Attack. Some of the games were easy to play, and some were difficult and frustrating. The Street Fighter kind of game was the one I mostly played, and I typically reach up to level twenty and die. Galaga is the game I die on the third or fourth level. Frogger is one of the easiest games on the controller. The game that I am focusing on in this review is Rush’n Attack. Rush’n Attack was first known as the title “Green Beret” in the arcade industry. The arcade game was created by Konami, one of the best companies to manufacture video games in the late 1980’s through the 2000’s, and produced in the year 1985. Green Beret and Rush’n Attack are both similar games but have different elements in graphics, characters, and mostly the name. Green Beret is about an American person who is sent out to free his soldiers from a Russian prison camp. The American wears a green camouflage uniform, and the Russians wear different kinds of uniforms. There are a total of four levels in this arcade game. Two years later, Konami released the arcade game on the NES but changed some things. They changed the title name, the main player, the Russians, the plot, mostly everything. Ok, maybe the two games are different but has the share of graphics in sort of way. Anyway, t... Read the rest of this Review

They were once human and when they stepped into the cave they were turned into dinosaurs, oddly enough.
In the game, each level is a single stage. The enemies you are to face are wizards, wind-up toys, globs with mouths that bounces all over the place, and so many more.

This company was found in other companies such as Nintendo and Sega. Konami first started in 1969 when Kagemasa Kozuki, a chief executive officer, found a repair business in Osaka, Japan.

Top Gun was based on the movie in 1986. Top Gun is an action game in a first person perspective. This game is about a player, that’s you, have to navigate and do missions, while riding a plane called F-14 Tomcat. At the end of each mission, except the first one, the player has to kill or damage a boss and land the plane. The first mission gives you a practice round and no boss yet you have to land the plane. The final mission is to destroy a space shuttle. There are two endings, one is good and one is bad. If you beat the game, beat every boss, and land the plane of every single ending launch sequence, you get the plane, descending into the carrier. The pilot will wave at their crews. Pretty lame. The bad ending occurs when you have a ... Read the rest of this Review
