one of my favorite king's field-likes
the only AC with "bad" controls (that aren't even that bad i just have immense neurological disorder), otherwise an impressive port with minimal compromise.
1983
You Put The Ball In Holes (but not the wrong ones, follow the numerical order). two 2-way joysticks control a motor on each side, which dictates the height and angle of a metal bar, which the ball will roll on.
there isn't much else to it, mechanics dictated by electric motors and gravity, but it's fairly engrossing. play it if you see it. i prefer an ice cold unsweetened green tea or water, though.

A proper return to form for From. After a 27 year hiatus, they're making pig feeding software once again!!!
sun bleached, and/or wrapped in cellophane
1995
classics of mid, the goofy lightgun mainstay of bowling alleys and movie theater lobbies. there really isn't much to it but it's always a silly joy, much better with a friend (which could be said for just about every lightgun game)
But!
then there's kronn hunter mode, which is visually (at leaston the arcade version, one of the home ports looks completely different) at least 25 years ahead of its time. +1 star for kronn hunter alone.

Wow!!! Did You Know That The Sampled Breakbeat Was Invented In 2017 By "Mechanics Lady"

the announcer is like "i am in the radio. there are Sounds on the street in Ridge City today. the Racing of Cars is going to be happening in Ridge City. Hot! Road for the Soul of the race. are you ready to need it or keep it?"
might be the best ridge racer full stop, and one of 4 PS2 games with neGcon support.

it's just THE Chikyuu Boueigun with the gears of war reload (north american dev in 2006-2013, to be expected) Simple, fun. not the best of the series but still feels like it, albeit with a different visual flair.
"We have Minna no Golf at home!"
unlike its cousin, Simple 1500 Vol. 69: THE Putter Golf (the nicest of the Simple 1500 Series), Simple 1500 Vol. 65 feels ahem, Par For The (Simple 1500) Course - kusoge in a mostly uninteresting way. feels like the first hot shots/everybody's golf on a sufficient dose of diphenhydramine. however, the music that plays when you're on the green might be the best putting music i've heard in a golf video game so far. i recommend it.

protip: buy yourself a Pentel P200 pencil (or two) in your diameter(s) of preference, a set of erasers (the pink rubber erasers are garbage, go with something like a tombow mono plastic eraser), some graph paper and optionally, a straightedge of some sort.

much more effective than melatonin!
1995
separates the True Kusoheads from the rest: those Normal Gamer's and the Demon's Darks they just love to roll around in. virtual hydlide is t&e soft's masterpiece (relative), for all that entails. it's like playing golf but with swords, and without any golf balls. not quite like a golf video game (don't worry t&e soft has you covered there too!!), but like actual golf, midsummer in humid, 40 celsius, salty air as the sun sears off your topmost layer of skin. it kind of hurts! it's kind of an unwelcoming, unpleasant experience that makes you wish, at times, that you were being lobotomized instead. but to think that way is reckless. Don't Mistake Recklessness for Courage.
1978
this is a "Boomer Shooter"

Is The Best Thing, And The Most Amount Of Fun You Can Have While Playing A .jar, i understand why all the kids are playing this game these days.
i find myself returning to it once every few years since alpha 1.0.10 (? not sure exactly which one i started with but it defo was in alpha), it's very relaxing to break and then Place [color] Bricks. the only fault with it are all of the games that that also attempted the just about perpetual "early access" approach to a release in its wake without the grace of miney crafta.
another way to look at it is that it is like Wurm online, but like, playable.
