Deeko
Board Game Classics tries to electronically recapture the days when board games were a staple in every kid's closet, but the only feeling it captures is that of a good idea gone awry. It's less like those fabled family board game nights and more like an atomic wedgie from a playground bully.

Thom K. gave it an8:
It's critic "reviews" like Deeko's that make me question whether they've actually played the games they completely trash. The fact of the matter is that Board Game Classics is a lovely collection of Checkers, Chess, and Backgammon. Anyone who says otherwise has simply not played the game. The graphics and music are both great, and most importantly, the gameplay is solid. I'm giving Board Game Classics an eight out of ten; there are more Telegames GBA releases that surpass the nice quality seen here (check out their 'Ultimate' GBA collections).
