If you keep your bets low, you can play forever on those funds. Once we get past the usual suspects, you might be surprised to find out what this virtual Vegas had to offer. Somebody should pay tribute to this glorious thing.
I normally steer clear of game reviews, but my hunch is that Casino Games isn’t often written about online.
There’s nothing actively “mature” about it, but this was a far cry from the sorts of titles that had twelve-year-olds developing fan clubs in their treehouses. (It did not manage to reinvigorate his interest in video games.) You can totally see Sega’s attempt to appeal to older demos, here. The one I got the most mileage from was Casino Games – originally given to my father because he was such an Atlantic City junkie. Even if my library of SMS games never reached far past five titles, I played ’em just as often as Super Mario and Zelda. I’m sure it had something to do with being the only kid in the whole universe with a Sega Master System, but its look, feel and gimmicks were just so much different from what Nintendo was putting out there. This was during the Nintendo golden era, and it wouldn’t be until the Sega Genesis that my buddies paid attention to any other system.īut me? I loved it. None of the other kids (let alone their fathers) had one. The Sega Master System was never a big thing around here. Within a few months, that baby was all mine. Nevertheless, this odd pairing of “Dad” and “video games” did not last long. The Sega Master System was one of the only ways to play Out Run at home. The image of this hard man (a guy who once offered to buy our neighbor’s dog just so he could kill it) in Out Run’s sit-down cabinet - built to look like a super deformed Ferrari - still cracks me up. See, to occupy his time during our summer vacations to Jersey shore boardwalks, my father grew weirdly passionate about Out Run - an arcade racing game. Even using the words “dad” and “gamer” in the same sentence makes me feel like an asshole. It happened over two decades ago, and it still freaks me out. Everyone chipped in to buy my father a Sega Master System.
