[[ROM CHECK 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]]'', 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 (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]]'', 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. |
