Honest Gamers writes: "You might not believe this, but when I say that Retro Game Challenge was made for people like me, I'm not just look for an excuse to tell you all about my early days of gaming. Now that we've gone into that uncomfortable territory, though, let's stay there for a bit and you'll have to take my word for it that I do have a point relevant to the game. Really I do.
In January of 1989, after months of campaigning on my part, my parents relented and purchased a Nintendo Entertainment System. My third-grade whining actually broke them before that, but rural Oregon life in the 1980s-as now-meant that games and hardware were scarce.

Let's look at the team's history and break down what you may have missed.
From the article, "Which is a shame, because Retro Game Challenge, and the succession of Game Center CX games that have been released since, offer an equivalent, and often superior experience. Granted, they don’t cash in on the real nostalgia value of offering actual NES and SNES games to play, but the fact that people are earning full games makes up for that."
Retro Game Challenge is like "WarioWare" for long-time gamers. Anyone with 10+ years of gaming under their belt owes it to themselves to try this game.
