R-Type II is a side scrolling arcade game that made its debut back in 1989. Now it's part of the iOS world, and for gamers who need a bit of sensory overload, this explosive shooter hits the target.
Live the code- the code of the Dragon! Double Dragon Trilogy brings with it all of the punching, hopping, grimacing action of the original side-scrolling beat 'em up. Modern gamers have grown hungry for somewhat more sophisticated gameplay than what you'd find in the '80s, so know that your satisfaction with Double Dragon Trilogy may be directly tied to your nostalgia factor, and how radically hei

All in all, it wasn’t that hard of a decision to make, as fans of the legendary Neo Geo 2D s
The Raiden series of games were always popular ones in arcades. I remember everytime I saw a Raiden game, I had to make sure and play it. To this day, when I walk into an arcade (if I can find one), and they have a Raiden machine, I always put some quarters in.

Raiden, the shmup classic, is going to grace iOS and Android devices in the beginning of December, packing in four full-sized experiences in one app. With only two weeks left in November, it'll be here faster than you can say, "Vulcan cannon"!
