Classic Game Room HD - THEXDER for PC review

Posted by admin on July 31st, 2009 and filed under pc | 25 Comments »

Classic Game Room HD reviews THEXDER for PC from 1987. Originally from GameArts in Japan, Thexder was released to the US computer market by Sierra On-Line in 1987. Part side scrolling platformer, part SHMUP, Thexder is all awesome. It could be one of the greatest games you’ve never played because Thexder just came and went and doesn’t continue to this day (although there was 1 sequel in the mid 90’s.) Pilot a transformable robot through tunnels and caverns and blast the crap out of enemy things that fly, swarm and fall on you. Thexder is like Jetfire from the Transformers, a Veritech Fighter from Robotech and Leader-1 from the Go Bots all rolled into one (I just had to drop a GoBots reference in there, he’s basically a Veritech Fighter). Thexder has an auto aiming laser in robot mode and front shooting laser in jet mode. The game is unique because it relies on a combination of action gameplay and serious level learning strategy to complete. Thexder has 15 levels which increase in difficulty rapidly. This CGRHD review of Thexder has gameplay from Thexder and shows maps and footage from the old school retro 80’s Sierra Game Arts Japanese video game. Thexder… I hardly know her!? Will there be a Thexder remake for PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii soon?

Part 1 of 2. Classic Game Room HD Hardware Review, Watch in High Definition! CGRHD reviews the ColecoVision from Coleco released in 1982. The Colecovision was an amazing game console (and still is) with a catalog of more than 125 video games release between 1982 and 1984. It rivals the NES in many ways and certainly handed the Atari 2600 its own with superior arcade conversions and action packed old school video games. For retro gamers today the Colecovision is stil highly enjoyable to play because of the quality of the video games available on it. Coleco didn’t mess around, sure it’s ugly, but it’s awesome! Originallyt the Colecovision came packaged with Nintendo’s Donkey Kong if you can believe that… Classic Game Room reviews old school and retro video game hardware, systems, controllers and consoles. CGR is the retro reviewer to watch if you want to see these old game systems in full HD video with technical discussion and hardware craftsmanship.
