to be fair, i think rating old arcade games is a really hard job. it goes without saying that most have aged badly and don't really offer much in the present, but they were also influential and inspired so many later titles that would expand upon the initial simple concept.
the important thing is, who honestly wants to play frogger for longer than a minute? it was an important historical feat in game development - no doubt - but rating games is just one of those things where you have to also take into account its content.
only a few arcade games, like tetris, are still attractive games in the present. but games like frogger, asteroids, and even pac-man are just meh titles in this day and age. they shouldn't be forgotten, but it's nostalgia-ridden thinking to say this is an addictive or fun game in today's world.
- Be respectful! All the community rules apply here.
- Keep your comments focused on the game. Don't post randomness/off-topic comments. Jokes are fine, but don't post tactless/inappropriate ones.
- Don't get in arguments with people here, or start long discussions. Use the boards for extended discussion.
- Don't use this space to complain about the average rating, chart position, genre voting, others' reviews or ratings, or errors on the page.
- Don't comment just to troll/provoke. Likewise, don't respond to trollish comments; just report them and ignore them.
- Any spoilers should be placed in spoiler tags as such: [spoiler](spoiler goes here)[/spoiler]
Note: Unlike reviews, comments are considered temporary and may be deleted/purged without notice.glitchwave: mid
