Rom Check Fail is a quirky game that packs all of these classics into one single game. The screenshots should explain how to play it. I tried it out and found it very enjoyable.

This game sucks.
...
Because it blows up immediately upon launching with a fatal error. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! I've yet to see more than a black square in the middle of my screen for a fraction of a second.

Edit: And as soon as I say that, I find a way to make it start working.
It apparently doesn't like my soundcard. Disabling it entirely gets me to the title screen before it chokes. Disabling some features gets it running.

Edit 2: I find it vaguely disturbing that I get an almost sexual pleasure from killing the Qix. (Qixes? Qixii? Whatever.)

Yeah, it's a bit luck-based. You can get fucked seriously in the scene transitions.

Good concept and great originality (although no doubt inspired by Wario Ware), but ultimately not particularly enjoyable imo. Lacks variety and too easy (just wait for the pacman transition and easily get rid of all enemies.)

Heck, after playing for a while (and not seeing any difficulty increase) I was literally stuck in the scene transition. The old "Wall stuck" thing.

I found PacMan to be fairly useless. It takes too long to get from the power pill to the enemies in a lot of cases. The Defender ship was a favorite of mine.

Link WOULD have been if you didn't have to be pixel-perfect to get him through a gap.
