Game: Banzai Rabbit

The thing about classic arcade games is that every one of them achieves a classic balance. Pac-Man, dated though it may be, doesn't really stop being fun to play the older it gets. Asteroids, Missile Command, Centipede - they all have a timeless quality, a certain combination of mechanics that elevated them to that pantheon of arcade cabinets in the collective nerd hall-of-fame. Frogger is one such game. And so we come to Banzai Rabbit: clearly an homage to the old pixelated amphibian hero, with some fresh new visuals and a backbreaking difficulty curve.
