I remember playing this game years ago and this remake looks and plays EXACTLY like the original. I love everything about it, down to the bowler's expressions and obvious late 80's-early 90's graphical style. They don't make games like these anymore .(except for Flash remakes, apparently -- Thanks!)

I liked the first version of this game, but always thought that the font and graphics used on the interface were a bit iffy for such a nice title and didn't really match the caliber of graphics used for the actual game area itself.
All else aside, this is a really, really fun game to play.

This game has a nice concept. The merging of two classic games into one -- however, at times the game can be rather dull, expecially after a well-placed shot lands above the tiles and rebounds for what seems like days off the bumpers. I'm not real fond of the slo-mo thing, either, but maybe because it's just easier for me to not use it at all. Otherwise, it's a decent little game.

It's an obscure game about an obscure game which advertises obscure booze. I'm not sure why, but the combination works alright. I don't think that you really even need the cows to 'scrub' the ice most of the time, but they still serve to add a bit of mild humor to the game itself.

Cheers.
The cows scrubbing makes the stone go faster in that direction.
Not exatcly true to curling rules but what do we know about curling. It was a fun game to make people laugh. We have achieved this.

This game's general look and feel reminds me of older racing games such as Pole Position, even down to the ever-familiar 'three-track progression'. I really like the controls of this game -- they're unique and challenging, but not frustrating. The graphics look like they had alot of effort put into them, which is nice, also.

I've liked this game since The Classroom 1, and when I found that there was a 2nd version, I was pretty excited to play it. This game, although pretty simplistic in design, has one of the best concepts and storylines of any Flash game I've ever played. I was hoping that there would be more diverse (or atleast different) sound effects this time around, and perhaps a little more detail in the graphics, but it's still one of the most addictive and stylish games that I've seen around in a while.

I really love the concept of this game, although I agree that the graphics are rather bland. It's okay though, because this game is rocksteady! It would serve well to put slower music on it, too, I think. The general pace of the game contrasts with 125+ BPM music. This game is not for those with short attention spans, either.

RaidenX reminds me of one of those old-school arcade games like Galaga in many ways... Addictive as hell, and has cool weaponry and somewhat odd enemies. One thing that would make the game more challenging is for the main 'gun' to have limited ammunition, though. I like most of the music; it isn't the most prolific of soundtracks, but serves it's purpose. Kinda retro sounding, which adds to the general nostalgia of the game.
