It is a trivia game and does not provide any gameplay. Some have called this a scam. I disagree. I believe in fair chances and business opportunities for all. All in all, I’ve spent $1.99 on worst stuff ### 1/5 — Don’t buy! *2022-05-17, version 1.0* You not able to play any of those games that displayed, when you click on it you will only see a blank screen and game play sound in the background, these app is a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2022-05-03* No games nothing ### 1/5 — this game is shocking *2022-04-30* From the moment I downloaded the game, I knew this wasn’t high quality. The images were extremely bad, and when you clicked on the game It took me to a blank screen. this is absolutely unacceptable. I shall be wanting my money back. spread the words. ### 1/5 — This is a scam *2022-04-20* Nothing works and no way to get help or refund. Gave 1 star as impossible to give zero or minus several million which is what they deserve. Thieves! ### 1/5 — Top off *2022-04-17* This should be removed from the store!! ### 1/5 — S C A M !!!!! *2022-02-27, version 1.0* Please read the reviews on this, I made the mistake of not. This is not a collection of playable games, it’s trivia. You get screen grabs of people playing the games, but you can’t yourself. Those 5 star reviews are fake. Hoping for a refund. Total waste of $2 ### 1/5 — Arcade games not even there *2022-02-26* Downloaded the game and nothing there how can you let people download games when nothing is there and costing 1.79 ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2022-01-29, version 1.0* Horrible app. Unable to play any of the games. When hot the play button, you see a blank black screen, but you can hear the sound effects in the background. Don’t waste your time or money on this app. ### 1/5 — Better refund me before I….. *2022-01-22, version 1.0* …Before I locate the sack of shht who intentionally scammed me and take his head off. The deep web has a plethora of information and people waiting to exact revenge. First/last/only. These jooz think we’ll all go:” meh, it’s only 2.22$ no big loss”, when in reality, some of us sit around like Michael Meyers waiting to …yes…exact revenge. Sleep lightly lately? :) I will now also find an employee and get twice my $ back on top of this. 😝boom ### 1/5 — Pitch black *2022-01-04, version 1.0* Whenever I would click on one of the games it would be a pitch black picture and sound is good but you cannot see anything to play the games. Just spent $1.99 hoping whoever made this can give me a refund. Will be waiting for a review reply. ### 1/5 — Crappy app *2022-01-02* Should have read the reviews before I downloaded. Only the quiz works, none of the games do. Maybe just a scam to get your money 😔 ### 1/5 — Complete waste of money and ripoff *2021-11-02, version 1.0* I was excited to buy this app. Stupid me. Don’t waste any time or money on this totally stupid app. Nothing works. You get to hear what the old games sound like. No support. What a joke. Apple should have the developer removed from the App Store ### 1/5 — BULL CRAP *2021-10-23* It’s a SCAM STAY AWAY ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No games just a quiz, waste of money. Refund pls. *2023-12-18* Would like a refund, this wasn’t as advertised, it’s just a quiz, not a pack of old 80s arcade games. ### 1/5 — Poor quality *2023-11-28* Refund please nothing but a black screen ### 1/5 — Probably should have read the reviews first *2023-10-07* It doesn’t work and i would like my money back ### 1/5 — Does not work-scam *2023-09-04* Do not buy this game, nothing works, just a blank screen ### 1/5 — Truly awful *2023-01-18, version 1.0* I spent 2$ only to waste it. The game doesn’t work, the app is pay to buy for 0 content. If I could get a refund and give it 0/5 I would have. Unfortunately I could give it a 1, too good for it ### 1/5 — Best 80’s arcade games *2023-01-15* What a waste of time Does not work at all on iPhone 14 Will be wanting my money back ### 1/5 — Deceptive sale. It’s a trivia game. *2023-01-08, version 1.0* Bought this believing I was purchasing arcade games. It is not. It is a trivia game. Which doesn’t tell you that unless you read all the way through. It doesn’t even work properly. Ridiculous that Apple allows this. ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2022-11-30* Should’ve read reviews it maybe a small amount of money but I’ll have it back thanks this shouldn’t be allowed on the store ### 1/5 — Worst game ever *2022-11-27* DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, it is appallingly bad, doesn’t load properly, terrible graphics. How they get away with charging for this is unbelievable. ### 1/5 — This Is Not A Playable Arcade *2022-10-16, version 1.0* This is not in any way shape or form a playable game. To be honest it’s garbage I don’t know why iTunes even allows this type of rip off on their platform. The so called videos don’t even play I get a black screen with the play icon. Only sound comes through and the so called trivia answers are blank. Stay far away from this garbage app. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dig Dug *2023-08-04* Five stars because I beat Dave at the big console Dig Dig at the Mark’s Powers Lake bachelor party and then the lady at the club later rubbed it in that I beat Dave at Dig Dug. That is the only reason for 5 stars. This App could actually use some work. ### 5/5 — 80s games *2018-08-08, version 1.0* I decided give a try to this app and Im not disappointed, all games are very cool. Back to the golden days playing again the games from the 80s. ### 5/5 — controls *2018-08-04, version 1.0* Fantastic selection of games, the controls are a little tricky at first, but after use a while are easy to use ! ### 5/5 — Refund *2018-07-15, version 1.0* No hate on this game but I accidentally bought it thinking it was free so I would like a refund please! I’ll give it a five stars though ### 5/5 — Retro Games *2016-09-19, version 1.0* if you are looking for retro games, this is the best app available on App Store, great selection of games, easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
