EA Replay

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be, but at least Electronic Arts is trying to rekindle memories of a fonder nature with this PSP-only release, featuring more than a dozen well-known titles from yesteryear; from when gaming was more about plugging in and playing rather than taking tea while the opening scenes are in progress. So, from the decade that taste forgot (along with the 70s and the 80s, of course) EA once again wheels out the likes of the 'Strike' and Wing Commander games for the discerning commuter's delectation and delight. EA Replay's full roster of games is as follows:

*B.O.B.: Help B.O.B. blast his way through alien goon squads and rendezvous with his galactic babe!

*Budokan: Walk the path of the warrior as you master the most deadly martial arts.

*Desert Strike: With a fiery blast from your Hellfire missiles you must annihilate a ruthless tyrant's military arsenal.

*Jungle Strike: The Desert Madman is dead. Now his vicious son plots a nuclear strike against the U.S.A.

*Haunting Starring Polterguy: Scare an evil family out of their house by being scary, funny, or just plain gross.

*Mutant League Football: Anything can happen when mutants battle to prove who rules the galactic gridiron.

*Road Rash: Blow opponents off the backroads in California's most illegal, unofficial, and dangerous race.

*Road Rash II: Road racing isn't just a sport. It's an attitude! Cruising cross country just got a lot hairier.

*Road Rash III: Keep an eye out for wildlife and other hazards as you engage in a 150 MPH bike brawl.

*Syndicate: Sources indicate a rival syndicate has developed a dangerous new computer program. We want it.

*Ultima: The Black Gate: Solve the mystery that has befallen Britannia before its manifestation is complete!

*Virtual Pinball: You design the pinball game, you build, you play it!

*Wing Commander: Lead your elite Tiger's Claw squadron against the forces of the Kilrathi Empire.

*Wing Commander: Secret Missions: Come face to face with the ultimate threat to mankind: a weapon capable of destroying entire planets!

Something for everyone there, we reckon, especially if you're into motorcycle racing/combat: the presence of three versions of Road Rash seems a bit extreme, but it's all good, dirty fun. Some of the games - Mutant League Football, Budokan and Road Rash II - feature ad-hoc multiplayer options. Original game art from the nineties is unlockable along the way too.
