Galaxian

Slowly, slowly shoot
Blast soaring Galaxians
Before they SMASH you.

Should one still play it?
Galaga is far better…
Let’s forget this game.

Joust

Flap little ostrich
Stomp upon thy en’mies’ heads
Crush them with your feet.

This early deathmatch
Is still fun, in small doses.
Best to joust a friend.

Spy Hunter

Drive and boat upwards
Gather gadgets, fight the spies
Blasting all the way.

Drive into the vans
As the theme from Peter Gunn
Leads your car along.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

Kill the brownshirts, with your gun.
Fly your airplane, in the blazing sun.
Whip the bad guys, save the girl…
It’s the Lego adventure of Henry “Indiana” Jones!

It’s two-player run and smash,
Get the gold studs — instead of cash.
Unlock stages, and Lego men,
It’s Lego Star Wars fun all over again!

Lego Batman: The Video Game

Blocky punches, blocky kicks,
Swinging ropes and Batty tricks,
Run and jump, swing and descend
(all alone or with a friend).
Fight the villains, battle crime,
or join them for some evil time!
Mindless fun, although I favor
Lego games with a bright lightsaber.
