The second foray into gaming in the 80s with Master Arino was never released stateside, but fortunately, there's a fan-made patch for that. If you want another chance to play 80s-style NES and Arcade games, complete with in-game schoolyard gossip and cheat mags, here you go!

Improvements in faux-nostalgia )

Overall: It's an improvement over the original in a bunch of ways--except for Arino Ace Detective, the games are as good or better than the ones on the original cart, and the challenges are more accessible. They softened the gamer-purist stance, and as a result though none of these games would really make it as a standalone in today's market, each is amusing for a couple of rounds.
