Line 1: {{work}} [[ROM ~~Check~~CHECK ~~Fail~~FAIL]] is a fangame that takes a handful of games from the arcade era and mixes them together. The experience is somewhat similar to ''[[~~Wario Ware (Video Game)\|~~Wario Ware]]'', in that you must adjust to rapidly changing playing styles. Every few seconds, your character and the enemies on the screen will change. At one second you may be [[Super Mario ~~Bros~~(franchise)\|Mario]] doing battle with a pack of [[Space Invaders]], and the next you're the car from Spy Hunter blasting ghosts from [[Gauntlet (1985 video game)]]. Unlike ''[[~~Wario Ware (Video Game)\|~~Wario Ware]]'', there is a single goal that remains the same in each stage - clear all the enemies on the screen. The game continues for 20 screens, and upon completion, starts it all over again, raising the speed each time. An addictive game with pick up and play gameplay reminiscent of the early arcade and Atari days. It can be downloaded [https://web.archive.org/web/20140323090839/http://www.farbs.org/games.html here.] {{tropelist}} {{Needs More Tropes}} * [[Death From Above]]: Rain of Goombas. Goombas have the unique trait of observing the laws of gravity, making them plummet to the ground if they happen to be in the air. It's also worth noting that anything that falls in a hole in this game reappears at the top of the screen. If a group of Goombas fall in a hole, it's best to run for cover. * [[Excuse Plot]]: A file containing a bunch of old games has become corrupted and mixed together somehow. It's up to ''you'' to... look, just go blast/stab/eat/stomp the enemies, all right? ** [[Bad Dudes\|Your classic games have been corrupted by something. Are you a bad enough dude to beat your broken games?]] * [[Gameplay Roulette]]: From [[~~Pacman~~Pac-Man]] to [[Super Mario Bros. (video game)\|Super Mario Bros.]] in 3 seconds! * [[Not So Harmless]]: Goombas. See [[Death From Above]]. * [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: Run out of lives and the game will crash in the same manner as the legendary [[~~Pacman~~Pac-Man]] [[Kill Screen\|L256 glitch]] -- half the screen locked up... and then the music will go ''nuts''. * [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]: Your character, in all iterations. * [[Poison Mushroom]]: The [[Space Invaders]] ship. Woe betide you if you receive this while an enemy is headed for you from the sides or below. ** Rather anoying if you are stuck in the air and all the things you need to kill are goombas. * [[Scoring Points]]: The entire point of the game. * [[Shout -Out]]: The entire game, but also the phrase [[Super Mario Bros. (video game)\|"Princess]] [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle\|is in a faster castle!"]] * [[A Winner Is You]]: After beating all 20 stages, you're booted back to the beginning to try again. You are also treated to a rapidly flashing display of classic end screens, many of which fall under this category. {{reflist}} [[Category:Action Game]] [[Category:ROM ~~Check~~CHECK ~~Fail~~FAIL]]
