An original single player game for Nintendo DS based on the popular Japanese Game Center CX TV series, Retro Game Challenge reinvents how classic games are played, and how you look at game compilation releases. In it the player is immersed in a story which requires he/she to complete short challenges imposed by a villain named Arino in a wide variety of 8-bit games. These games are not licensed titles, but originals designed to look, sound and play like classic arcade games from the 80s. Survive this series of challenges and you will never look at classic gaming the same again.  |

Thrown back in time to the 1980's, you are turned into a young boy and forced to play video games by an evil self-proclaimed "Game Master." Game Master Arino will test your gaming skills by throwing various challenges at you in a wide variety of retro games including shooters, racing, action and even an epic role-playing game. To escape you must defeat him in every retro game challenge he throws at you. But you are not alone in your quest - armed with access to gaming magazines, you can find cheat codes to warp to later levels, receive unlimited continues or even become invincible. In addition a young, pre-evil, Arino is at your side to keep you company during your challenges and he is quite amused that he grows up to be so evil and becomes the cause of your current predicament. Test your skills with the awesomeness of the 8-bit era and prevent the retro games from exacting their revenge. The Games
Although the challenges that players will have to succeed in only feature portions of the games that pack Retro Game Challenge, each of these games is a full-fledged game that is playable from beginning to end. See a sampling of the games included below.
 | A fixed shooter in which the player must shoot down invading enemies with a spaceship that can only move left and right along the bottom of the screen. Use cheat codes to warp or to reveal hidden stages. |
 | Stun enemies with ninja stars, and step on them or close a trapdoor on them to kill them. It's an old-fashioned side-scrolling action game with many new elements. |
 | Can't leave out a racing game. The player controls a racecar from a birds eye view and uses techniques such as drift and drift boost to achieve the shortest lap time. |
 | A good ol' RPG joins the family. The player is a descendant of a hero who is given an order by the king to form a party to embark on an adventure to defeat the rival King of Darkness. |
 | This shooter features a flying battleship that can move left, right, forwards and backwards. It can also transform into 4 different forms, allowing for a range of battle plans. |

Customer Review: Please Support This Game
Those of you who think you might be interested in this game...just get it already! I had so much fun with this collection of games, each with their own style and quirks, each legitimately fun to play irrespective of any nostalgia. There's a sequel coming out soon in Japan and they will only bring it out here if this game sells well in the US--let's make it happen!
Customer Review: AWESOME collection of "fake" games!
Lots of attention to detail in this one, it's the ultimate retro compilation of games that never existed. You get the full experience with games that feel truly retro thanks to a barrage of homages, killer gameplay, and extra information passed down through authentic in-game magazines. If you loved the 80's but still want something new, you'll have a great time with this game. Even if you're just looking for a fantastic portable game, this one will hold your attention regardless of age. Very family friendly and substantially educational thanks to the gaming literature it provides. Check it out, it's the perfect complement to a Nintendo DS system!
