The weeks "Gaming Moment" takes us to an Activision title that has a big following on just about any console it finds it's way to. That title would be River Raid.
This top view plane shooter has you challenging over 20 levels. The object of the game is to shoot the enemies out of the sky and out of the water. with fuel stations spread out along the river way. While shooting out enemies with unlimited ammo sounds good and allows you to shoot all over the place, you do need to be careful that you don't shoot out your own fuel stations.
This game is very addicting and will keep the gamer playing for hours. I would highly recommend this game to any gamer who wants to play a fun game that challnges and excites the player through each level.
I loved this game as a child. I remember it being so frusterating but as a child you can play repetitive games like this for hours without getting bored. The fact that it was a blast on top of the anger it caused me had me hooked lol
THIS GAME. THIS is the reason I've spent so much on import shmups lately. It all started with this.
OK, I think it actually started with Threshold on C64. But River Raid followed it up and ingrained how fun this genre is for me.
Oh, if I had only broken the chain back then... I'd be richer in money and poorer in fun memories...
