Part 1 of arcade epic 198X. A coming-of-age story told through multiple games and genres. Experience the thrill of shooting, driving, jumping, fighting and role-playing in 5 full-blown arcade stages – combined with cinematic pixel-art storytelling.
Welcome to Suburbia, just outside the City, sometime in 198X. This is the journey of Kid, a teenager stuck between the limitations of innocent youth and the obligations of inevitable adulthood. The story unfolds when Kid discovers the local arcade – finding new worlds, and new meaning, in video games. For every visit to the arcade – every game uncovered, every move mastered, every demon defeated – Kid grows stronger. And the lines between game and reality starts to blur…
This is 198X – where a new life is just 1 credit away.
Estimated play time: 2 hours

This is a game I would show to someone interested in the 80s arcade scene. Also, I found the story quite interesting and well told, although the ending could have been more developed. The soundtrack is awesome. It's also a short one, but it didn't bother me particularly.
In between the narrative parts, the 5 mini-games helps to set the mood with well-integrated themes. The first 4 of them were really representative of the genres. Even though I liked the the last one too, I felt it the weakest. It maybe expected as an RPG, with all the usual complexity, wouldn't be an easy genre to cover in a short game.
As I mentioned before, the soundtrack is excellent and I'd buy it separately too if it was available.
Recommended for anyone younger interested in that era and for the nostalgic, of course.
The story starts off slow, unskippable, and ... well... not really a gripping thing nor an overly accurate one either. So it's really just this weird 1980/90s / 00s almost thing, where as the story plays out, some of it just wouldn't be as the lead character says it is, if it were still the 80's anyway. That said, whatever, it is what it is... the narrative is long, and at times even has to meet up to musical cues it seems. Heck, even the main menu, if you'd call it that, as it only has START and QUIT... but even that takes FOREVER to finally pop up, with START coming up to one note, and the QUIT appearing at a distant other.... with you, the player, just sitting there, waiting to get any level of control, and either actually start or quit the game. The "cut scenes" are the same lingering drawn out way, and then you get to the game. The very beginning has you playing some Streets of Rage clone level, which art(wise) is nice. Gameplay though, my god is this a regression from even launch era Genesis games, like Streets 1 or Golden Axe.... You get a punch, and a jump button... together they do a spin kick, alone the jump, and punch... and of course you can jump, and then punch, in which case you'll do a jump kick moving forward. Sounds okay, but this is as bare bones as it gets. When the before mentioned games had things like specials, double direction tap for run, ram from run, rear facing attacks, front facing attacks, and more. This just feels, handicapped... right from the get go, at least to someone who's actually played the games it's cloning anyway. Then after what feels like a half hour of cut scene, there is the second stage, the 2D forward momentum space shooter. Die, and it's starting from the beginning for you, even if you've been going for 20 min and are just about at the end... beginning time baby! .... I quit at this point, not fun, not worth it. 3 stars is more than I really want to give, but todays soft world would cry too much if I went lower.
The game is not very friendly to players with low agility. Back to the arcade time, I needed to spend about 30 continues to play through captain commando or warriors of the fate. It has not changed for me playing 198X. The problem is that in 198X you don't continue where you explode but instead will start from checkpoints. It neither provides save functionality to let you keep your progress. I failed the horizontal flight shooter for 15 times and have to stop but there is nothing but 'quit game' provided to me.
This is a very emotional game with an interesting story.
There are excesses in mystics, it was interesting to me as a person who had not previously played games on slot machines, but in places it is very incomprehensible.
What’s the bottom line: this is the product that will appeal to those who love story games and arcade games.
