The Pier Arcade

The Pier Arcade is an amateurish failed attempt to make a collection of retro arcade machines in a retro arcade, and while this concept may work, the quality is through the floor here, from a few borrowed assets to a few completely terrible one, this looks bad and plays worse. The game is very simplistic, small and limited in scope and ambition. This feels more like a tech demo, proof of concept or student homework assignment rather than a fully fledged product designed for PC gamers. As such it doesn't offer any real value as a serious PC game. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game assets are fairly mediocre/low quality which fits with the idea they weren't developed by the game creator... they look like they're "just reasonable enough" to go on sale as part of an asset pack. The issue of asset flipping aside, ultimately the qu…

A cute little game that is a great way to kill some time. There's a nice mix of games and every now and then new ones pop up just to mix things up. Worth a try, especially at such a low price. Also, the pig collectable is adorable. 10/10

A solid collection of arcade classics with something for everyone. Personally I've played loads of Over the Edge, a coin pusher game where you can really crank out the tokens! I'm not a massive fan of Quad Racing or Duck Shoot but there's still lots of other games to keep me occupied. I'd love to see a Claw Machine added if a sequel ever comes about. The sound effects are great and it does remind me of being in the arcade as a kid.

Cracking little collection of all your old favourites. Bunnies! Over the Edge is where it's at.
