Fortified Zone becomes available to download from the Nintendo eShop this week, as a classic action game in which you take control of two different characters and explore various stages while defeating enemies who are creating a powerful secret weapon. Other titles now available for the Nintendo 3DS include QIX and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp.
The Legends Arcade family just got a lot larger with 47 Taito arcade classics out now in a free firmware update. The classics include Bubble Bobble, Cadash, Space Invaders, Qix, Operation Wolf, Zoo Keeper, and more.
The early '80s was a revolutionary time for gaming yet not every classic from that era is as celebrated as it should be. Taito's Qix is an often imitated arcade gem so let's take a look at why it's such a legendary game.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Man Dragon's Lair II!? Nice Why is this not in USA this week lol...
