Game Reviews

I remember playing the Carron game "Skittles" at a friend's house back in the 1970's. I purchased one for my own kids when they were 7 and 10 years old and we enjoyed many family "competitions". When I began babysitting my 6 and 8 year old niece and nephew, I drug out the old game out and showed them how to play. Now they beg to play it whenever they come over. I plan to surprise them with a game of their own for Christmas. It's so durable--our old game still looks like new.

When a friend and I discovered this game, our initial reaction was to be unimpressed, that is until we gave the cord its first yank. As the top manuvered around the board we were instantly hooked, deriving strategies to obtain the greatest point total. It was not until an hour and a half later that we stopped that initial game, kicking ourselves for allowing our uninformed first impression.

This toy brings back memories. With a hard yank on the wind-up cord, then listening to the rattle and roar as the top dances across the board on its way to knock over the skittle pins, this toy can be loads of fun. With skill (?) and experience, you can at least imagine that you can steer the top in an initial direction even though knocking over all of the pins is pure luck as the top spins towards the back rooms. However, enough of my memories: my kids (8 and 6) enjoy playing with this game. Just enough competition to keep them going time after time.

We played Phoney Baloney five or six times last week. Once for a party and the other times as a family. Once we didn't even finish the game because we started talking about one of the subjects in the game. We also use the cards as topics for our home schooling. We received our game as a gift, then later gave two as gifts to our friends. The only thing that could be improved is the card holder. It's no big deal and doesn't change the game, but it should be made of plastic instead of card board. The rest is great.

Outwit and outsmart your opponents, but not with the right answer. This time, you have to choose the wrong answers. The more answers that you get that are wrong, the more points you get. Confusing, right? Not at all. You get on a roll going as fast as you can to beat your opponents for an intriguing and fun game. Plus, this helps you understand the rule of elimination. So even if you don't know the right answer, you can choose the ones that you know are obviopusly wrong. Or you can just geuss.

Just like you did on your tests at school, right?

Phoney Baloney gives interesting facts before asking the question. These facts, as well as that all players participate on every turn, has led to fun family times and good discussions. It's also the only game I know where there can be more than one winner. Phoney Baloney is a winner.

If you love the real thing and want to get the closest thing to it at home without spending the big money and setting up a space in your garage or basement, then this is it!

The detail, playability, settings and control are even more then the real thing. Put a big screen in front of you and get lost in the days past so much so that you will be reaching in your pockets for another 50 cents when you drop the last ball without even realizing it.

For those like me that have always wondered what it would be like to be the one to get inside the machine itself and make the game tweeks, this will give you the satisfaction (more so then the others).

If you've ever played it at your local pub and liked it, BUY IT! If you haven't but like pinballs....... You won't find another game on the market that comes this close.

I got this for my friends and i would just like to say that we had countless hours of nonstop fun with this game. However sometimes, it can get annoying when you're so close to being the Grand Champion and the ball somehow makes it way past your flippers. However in my case that isn't a problem because i am the Grand Champion. Haha Paul. Whats that, whats that, is that Magno Charger for the 5th time in a row. Who has 40 road kills. Oh and I'd like to say just one more thing, "Get it in the TAXI!!!" All in all a great game.

BigRace USA is filled with electronic noises of every sort. The game feels like a state of the art pinball table. It has dozens of different challenges and goals that are played on the table's video screen. It can run quick on even the slowest of computers. It's audio and music is all done in Dolby SurroundSound to produce a very amazing effect when using your stereo earphones. This is a cheap way to relive the excitement of the past's exciting pinball machines, which unfortunately, are few and far between nowadays.

This item is very nice. It can hold your system, six games, two controllers, I don't know how many memory cards but it does hold them, and it says it hold five rumblepacks but I can't figure out where to put them. There is one thing wrong with it though, it does NOT hold your cables (AV cable, RFU Adapter, and AC Power adapter), but I suppose you could put them in your pockets, but what if you don't have pockets? Carry them by hand? Suffer the embarassment of carrying cables? oh well... I find a way.

This case is great for your nintendo 64!. It can hold your console, games, memory,rumble pak, cables, adaptors etc...
It fits plenty of your favorite games while traveling or taking it to a friends house. Allin all the case is great.

I just think this is a great looking bag on it's own basis. I don't actually use it for my system, but I carry it around, hey it looks really cool. Great design and quality, the craftsmanship is also excellent. A must get for all Nintendo 64 fans.

is good to play and watch on tv oso

My 4 year old nephew came for a visit with this game and when my 7 year old son Ryan who happens to be a die hard Pokemon fan saw it he was totally hooked as well as his 4 year old brother Connor what a great game highly recommeded! my nephew wasnt even home yet by the time i ordered this game from amazon.com!

We purchased this game for my son on his 5th birthday and he LOVES IT! This game has 3 game levels (Rescue, Battle and Megazord), 3 difficulty levels (Easy, Normal and Hard)and 5 game stages (plant, city, dam, bay and subway). My son mastered this game in a short while, however he still enjoys playing it, as does my husband.

The PS1 controller by sony, in my opinion, is the best quality compared to other brands. The only thing I don't like is the L1 L2 R1 R2 buttons, it is confusing and difficult for me to quickly press one or the other during gameplay. Otherwise this controller is great.
Pros:
1) Small, lightweight, portable
2) Good quality
Cons:
1) L1 L2 R1 R2 buttons are confusing
2) Joysticks (in my opinion) are too close together
3) Start and Select buttons are too little

This controller i got for my playstation was my 3rd controller, the other 2 were the original gray ones. my brother in law has a transparent blue Viper 2 controller and thats the one i wanted, so i tried to copy him and this was as close as i could find. To me, this controller is just like the gray ones only blue, but the shock is better.

I traded my friend a game for this controller and it was well worth it. I noticed that i would do a lot better in all types of games which are mostly racing. You move around a lot better with this controller. If you want to add to your playstation gameplaying skills you need to get this controller it will definately help and it is well worth the cost evethough it is a lil pricey. So go and get it NOW!!

I own many a Playstation memory card. They're ok, I guess, but they're a little on the slow side for saving and loading. Also, they are incompatible with Playstation 2 games. Even if you could save a PS2 title on one of these things, it would probably take up the whole card, and then some.

Also, these things should cost a lot less by now. They should be more like 12 bucks, not 20.

But on the plus side, these cards are highly reliable. I've never lost data on one of these things, even on the oldest cards I own (which I've had since '97). The generic brands are slightly cheaper, but they have bombed out on me from time to time.

Overall it's a good (and necessary) buy for all PSX owners.

the island blue memory card is worth the money. it has 15 blocks of memory and a cool color. i used to have one of these before i sold my playstation.

How many blocks of memory does it hold???

This is a great game, it helps do my customers iq's. And its simpsons chess, not an ordinary chess set.

This is an excellent gift idea for anybody! This chess set is definitely gets an A+ for fun! Even if you're not a Simpson's fan or haven't heard much about them, this set wonderfully symbolizes the intelligence of the family. Homer is crowned with a beer in his hand while Marge stands taller than the king himself with a rose close to her chest. There is Bart as the bishop, Lisa as the rook, Krusty as the knight, and Maggie portrayed as the pawn. I am surprised, however, that Flanders was not the Bishop. Afterall, he is the holiest of people, the most spiritual to spirits, and the most faithful of all God's faithless souls!
I was asked to rank this toy on an educational level and I gave it four stars. I did so because it is a game of chess. Simply, chess is an educational game that increases your sense of logic and reasoning. Although it is the Simpson's that we are talking about, the fact that if a person can play well with these peices without mixing them up with confusion, then I think you've accomplished something. Skill. As with any chess pieces that are represented by other characters or symbols, you obtain a good sense of awareness and strategy.
This toy is a very fun toy and I would reccommend it to anyone, ESPECIALLY if they enjoy watching the Simpson's. It is fun to play, fun to watch, and fun to display. Friends should definitely be impressed with this chess set!

This ia a great chess set because it shows your love for The Simpsons and Chess. It is very derable and fun to with your friends and family. I have alot of fun playing with this chess set.This is a must have for Simpsons fans like me.

Well this game is fun but just remember youll want to destroy the videio game when you get to the Fire country.
