    If you enjoy retro games then you owe it to yourself to download Nitro Ball. It's the most impressive arcade game that I've played in years and I'm very grateful that it got ported to a modern console.

    It's a run'n'gun shooter pinball game with a game show setting around a half-dozen-ish levels.

    It has movement and shooting on the same left analog, which kinda sucks, especially in today's crowded arcade-shooter market. It's also a bit short, which is common for these old arcade-style games.
