3 Coin-Op Classics

In a fit of generosity, US Gold has released a compilation of what it calls classic coin-op conversions for £9.99 the lot.

Firstly, there's Break Thru, a high speed chase around. An easy-to-play, hard to complete game. Break Thru involves driving very, very, fast in a car and shooting things before they shoot you.

Secondly, Crystal Castles. A good 3D landscape is slightly marred by a rather manky bear as the central character. Again, it's easy to play but difficult to complete.

Lastly, Kung Fu Master, a prize combat game. Fast action and furious kicking.

An OK compilation, and it's all re-issued stuff - none of it fabulous and at £3.33 each they're more expensive than budget.

Overall Summary

Three good solid conversions at a knock-down price. There sadly nothing new here to tempt you.
