Videogame Review, Galaxian for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ NES Max Controller)
I have this Japanese NES game on a reproduction cartridge. The game should’ve been more popular in the United States. My NES Max controller, which is an antique, works very well for the game. Actually, the NES version of Galaxian is not as good as the Atari 5200 version of Galaxian- in particular, the NES version of Galaxian is very straight-forward, easy to handle, and challenging within short limits. The Atari 5200 version of Galaxian (on the other hand) was more complicated, interesting, and alien to the touch. In all fairness due, the NES version of Galaxian is more or less like the arcade machine. That’s a problem! In all honesty, while I do enjoy the arcade machine of Galaxian very much, the Atari 5200 version of Galaxian does a better presentation of fighting aliens, hungry heroes, and good fire methods. For one thing we must remember that the Atari 5200 version of Galaxian has a variety of difficulty modes. The NES version, for the Galaxian game I’m reviewing (at least from the start) doesn’t have as much of a variety of difficulty modes. You basically get 1 normal difficulty mode with slight variations of challenge. I do believe the NES version is better for beginners. I’m just a hardcore gamer. You still get shooter games today with modern technology like Call of Duty and Halo; however, Galaxian has more attitude on a quick notion of time and space and that’s important for fighting aliens under classic video and traditional graphics. Recently, I’ve taken a vacation to places near the American west part of our nation such as Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nevada, Utah, and remote eastern parts of California. From having exposure to more states in the American West, I agree with older gamers of classic video games that internet connection is a little off depending on the area or land you’re living in, and, America does not have a universal reality of modern technology. This is because internet connection is still missing in so many parts of America. America does not have internet everywhere. Or, if there’s “internet”, it’s slow and tedious. I was in big cities in Wyoming with poor internet connection. Not just on my phone, but just for any computer or machine or device that uses internet. I’m happy to report that Galaxian for the Nintendo Entertainment System (or, NES) is a physical copy when you get one and you get a steady connection with a functional Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. We still often need machines and robots with ready-to-use functions. Internet connection is only useful if there IS internet. I mention that for a reason. Internet is a very challenging system of data. We don’t always know exactly what the links are; or, if there are links, the chain remains. Data does have its moments. In 1 of the American states (I forget if it’s Colorado or Wyoming or such) there were arcade businesses for video games; in particular, arcade business still exists for old video games. 1 arcade business in 1 of these American states that I saw was not only advertising Pac-Man (who is still popular in modern technology), but, also, the arcade business was advertising Moon Patrol. Pac-Man and Moon Patrol were being advertised by the arcade business in an American state with window paint and window shopping on the front view of the building. Very interesting, huh? In California, modern gamers don’t know Moon Patrol. At times, a word like “modern” is an interesting choice of words for ignorance of the past. So many Californians still enjoy the idea of going to the moon. Galaxian for the Nintendo Entertainment System was a result of limited natural resources. And, limited natural resources are the reason for America’s unreliable internet connection. On a grand scale of things, America is still “old”.
