ART 108 Blog Post 1: Arcade Game

For this assignment, I was to test and play an emulated arcade game on archiver: internet arcade. I chose to play "Chinese Hero," which to be honest caught my eye because I assumed it was a racist game. It slightly is in my opinion, but to each their own. My initial thoughts: it was pretty fun. I enjoyed the simple mechanism of moving up, right, left, and down, including the space bar as the jump attack. It was a little hard to get the complete controls, due to the lack of instructions, but it was easy enough to figure out. The game followed a simple level progression with increasing difficulty, and each stage was just a rehash of the initial platform. The only difference with each progression of levels was the introduction of newer enemies and also the increasing number of enemies. All in all, it was a nice pleasant game, but I got bored after 5-10 minutes of play.
