Recently, my brother gave me this…
Put together by the hip, radsters known as “Radica”, a handful of Sega games are at your finger tits. These “Arcade Legends” are an electrical socket away from fun (unless you’re holding a fork). Not a bad deal, you hook it up to the TV and you’re ready to play good ol’ classic gems such as:
- Altered Beast
- Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Kid Chameleon
- Golden Axe
And, of course, the whimsical treat that is Flicky!
…Wait, it’s called “Arcade Legends” and they have Flicky on here? I mean it IS fun, but I’m not sure it falls under the Legend category.
In Flicky you play as a blue bird named, you guess it, Reginald.
Naw, I’m just fuckin’ ya. His name is FLICKY!
There’s not a whole lot to the game, really. However that doesn’t take away from the entertainment value of this game.
The words to describe this game escape me. Its like if PacMan wasn’t Pacman, but a bird.
Instead of eating dots, you round up Chirps. You have to get these chicks (not the hip 90s lingo) to the door marked “Exit” while escaping the lovable WRATH OF TIGER!
Just wait until Iggy gets in the mess. Oh man, what an asshole.
I looked this game up and apparently there are 40 some levels to complete. I’m in no hurry to achieve the status of “Flicky Dominator”… so recreational play it is!
“Flicky” is, for lack of a better word, repetitive. Fun in a simple way. The simplicity in the joy of pelting cats in the face with a flower pot is astounding.
Oh, and apparently the sprite for Flicky is also in Sonic. Fuckin’ WEIRD. Actually, that’s not all that weird.
Now, get out there and pick up some chicks!

By the way, I will be reviewing some of the titles included in the list of “Arcade Legends”
