Super Mario Bros. (NES)
This game is changing my life
The Good
It's gameplay is fantastic, you can really enjoy it even now, I am playing SMB once per week and I know one thing, it's diamond of games. The simple idea make a real great gameplay experience that is really near to some highest level of purest gaming ever, this game don't have a graphics that will blind you, the mechanics of game are not big and fascinating but playing this game make you feel like playing REAL gaming masterpiece. When you are playing Metal Gear Solid you are enormously excited by it's storyline but Super Mario Bros make you feel that the game itself don't have to have even storyline (cause you can't say that Super Mario Bros have REALLY storyline) or fascinating graphics to be ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES EVER.
The Bad
Maybe graphics are not 100% of NES, maybe there is not many sound effects (but music is really good) but I can't say that I didn't like it in this game because it's not making any difference, the gameplay is so perfect that all this things are marginal.
The Bottom Line
As I said in the title, the game that's changing my life, every time I play it I feel the same, great amount of pure gameplay.

Basketball (Atari 2600)
One of the first Basketball games. Is it good?
The Good
Playing with friend with two controllers is really enjoyable. I can find myself really well shocked that so old game can be so enjoyable. But the magic ends within 5-10 minutes, after this time became a great monotony so we changed game. But after hour we played again, and it was as funny as before, but only 5 minutes...
The Bad
Playing single player is horrible, after 2 minutes you can throw your joystick out of the window, enemy is doing always one terrific trick, and that's all you can only run to him but it's very hard to get ball from him, always the same trick and always the same result, you are losing. The graphics ale so simple that they can't be simpler, 3 year child is making better drawings. The music isn't a lot better, just a piece of "dings" and "dongs", canĺt even say this is sound of a ball.
The Bottom Line
This game is a fine piece of multiplayer game for Atari 2600, you woudn't find in it anything other, just simple fun from 10 minute play with friend. The real fun begins with one corrupted controller and two players...
