Thrown back in time to the 1980’s, you are turned into a young boy and
forced to play video games by an evil self-proclaimed “Game Master”,
Game Master Arino. Game Master Arino will test your gaming skills by
throwing various challenges at you in a wide-variety of retro games
including shooters, racing, action and even an epic role-playing game -
your only way to return is to defeat him in every retro game challenge
he throws at you.

But you are not alone in your quest – armed with access to gaming
magazines, cheat codes can be found to warp to later levels, receive
unlimited continues or even become invincible! A young Arino is at your
side to keep you company during your challenges, quite amused at the
fact that he grows up to be so evil in the future to be the cause of
your current predicament.

Test your skills with the awesomeness of the 8-bit era and prevent the
retro games from exacting their revenge!
Experience Games in a Whole New Way – Rather than simply playing a
game straight from start to finish, each game is played in short
spurts to accomplish specific goals.

Wide-variety of Games to Keep Player Engaged – From classic shooters
to racing, ninja action to epic role-playing, game play variety
ensures there’s something for everyone.

Entire Games Available for Free Play – Every retro game that is
introduced in the story is available in its entirety once the initial
challenges have been completed.

Experience the 80’s Gaming Culture – Not only do the in-game magazines
provide cheat codes, they are a source of entertainment and a virtual
history lesson about the video game industry as fake 80’s news stories
cover actual emerging 80’s gaming trends, evolution of software, and
even the video game crash of 1983.
