I have it.  Haven't tried it, but I want to.

8. Sequel is far better, but I really enjoy this.

Never heard. Is this like a math teaching game?

9/10. Highlight of the series for me and one of my favorite games during that gen. The hunt for the achievement to reach 1,000,000 points without dying was insane at the time and I logged a stupid amount of hours before I got it. I felt the sequels were strong but both of them had design decisions I didn’t really agree with and dragged down my overall enjoyment with them.

Never heard of it. I'd try it just to see what it is.

Love this game. Don’t remember now if it were the first or second one I played

[Hammerfestus | 3,883]

Haven’t played it.  
Funnily enough I was recently gifted an XBox 360 that a buddy had picked up on his local buy nothing group and I’d heard these were good so I bought one of these to play on it.  It was for the xbone.  Damn you and grandma your annoyingly named systems Microsoft.

Solid game, good fun, nice classic early 80s retro vector style thing going there too backed with equally great music and tight controls.  Problem is, ultimately, it's a mindless classic arcade point racking game and while it stands out, it's not THE stand out either.  I'd recommend trying it, but I wouldn't call it a must play or own either.

It's fun but it's basically just an Asteroids clone. Old arcade style games only hold my interest for so long. Fun in small doses but don't have the longetivity of most other types of games. 7/10

8, loved it. It was 5 bucks right. That early XBLA era where digital games were seen as basically worthless had so many gems. It's not as intense as Robotron but lots of fun.
