Reviews on the Internet MUSEUM OF RARE GAMES Shippy 1984 is quite a fun game. It is a retro arcade shooter which somewhat resembles Space Invaders. Unlike its appearance it is a modern game, it is supposed to look like the games from the old days. Although there isn't that much to do other than shooting space bugs, or whatever those things are, it's still a game with a good feeling and a good soundtrack. The difficulty level is quite high, it starts ridiculously easy but a few levels later it's nearly impossible to finish a level. I would recommend this game if you want to experience the retro feeling on a modern computer. GAME HIPPO Having grown up in the 80s, I was reared on games like Galaxian. There has always been something special to me about the classic arcade shooter, so much so that I will make any excuse necessary to pop a quarter into any old 80s space shooters I find, be they in some stinky gas station, the lounge in some airport, or wherever. When I first fired up Shippy 1984 and was immediately greeted by the old "Winners don't use drugs" screen that used to grace almost every arcade game, I knew I was in for something special. When I saw the title screen and heard the classically cheesy digitized voice pronounce the name of the game, I felt like I was supposed to look for a coin slot. Even without the coin slot, Shippy 1984 is one of the best retro-shooters I've ever played. Everything looks, sounds, and feels like it came straight out of the games of my youth. The classic arcade font is here, the pre-game enemy display is here, the high-score name entry music that is just little bit too happy sounding is here too. Like the games of old, Shippy 1984 is based in simplicity. The objective is simple: Control the Happy Fez and destroy the minions of the Angry Fez. There are three types of enemies, two different weapon power ups, time bonuses, accuracy bonuses, and bonus lives. I really can't say much more about this game, because there isn't much to it. However, Shippy 1984 succeeds incredibly in everything it's trying to be. If you like classic arcade shooters, this one's a keeper. If you're too young to appreciate this sort of game, you probably won't like it. Don't expect anything groundbreaking, but do expect to have some action packed fun. The game is also available for Mac OS X and Linux.
