Feels like the first time.
Retro Game Challenge hearkens back to a time when 3D graphics didn't exist and video games were nowhere near as elaborate as the high-end affairs current-gen systems offer.

In the end, the humorous aspect of the game and the unique story are not enough for me to continue playing. With boring retro type games, which RGC is centered on, and the need for me to unlock the games by playing challenges of which some are very difficult; I feel this game really isn't worth my time and I suggest you take a pass even if you are really into retro games.
Summary Retro Game Challenge is a throwback to the 1980’s era of video games. Based on the popular Japanese GAME CENTER CX TV series, this title reinvents how classic games are played by having the player complete mini challenges in a wide-variety of games, reminiscent of all of your favorites from the 80s.
