#5. Rat Attack!

Rat Attack!
  • Release Data: Pure Entertainment/Mindscape, 1999
  • Genre: Action » Arcade

Play as one of the Scratch Cats, an elite superhero team, who are out to save the world from Washington and Jefferson, two evil mutant space rats who wish to enslave the world in rats.

Each level has a quota of rats you must remove, and if you fail to do so within the time limit, you lose.

#4. Frogger

Frogger
  • Release Data: SCE Studio Cambridge/Hasbro Interactive, 1997
  • Genre: Action » Arcade

All in all, Frogger isn’t too bad.

The graphics, it has to be said, aren’t that bad. The flat-shaded polygons give the game a pleasant cartoonish look.

It’s not the best game, if you catch my drift, but it is pretty fun and you will have a blast playing it, but the difficulty can sometimes be too much.

#3. Q*bert

Q*bert
  • Release Data: Artech Digital Entertainment/Hasbro Interactive, 1999
  • Genre: Action » Arcade

While every level in the original game was a simple pyramid, the updated game goes crazy with its level design.

However, an hour or two is all most people will want to spend with Q*bert because of his control problems.

Nostalgic and mature fans will no doubt enjoy it more than most.

#2. Pong: The Next Level

Pong: The Next Level
  • Release Data: Supersonic Software/Hasbro Interactive, 1999
  • Genre: Action » Arcade

The addictive game that started it all is now an incredible 3D experience on the PS1.

The premise of this game is still the same—keep your opponent from scoring.

But now you have the option of single or multiplayer games and over 20 fun, action-packed levels of competition.

#1. Breakout

Breakout
  • Release Data: Supersonic Software/Hasbro Interactive, 2000
  • Genre: Action » Arcade

If you’ve been around video games for any length of time, chances are you have heard of or maybe have even played the original Breakout.

While merely a more refined version of Pong, the addictive, yet simplistic, gameplay relies upon your reflexes more than your intelligence as your goal is to deflect a ball toward a wall of bricks to blast a hole through it.

About

Hi, I'm R, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%.
