At long last! The "Racing" feature of Candy Crush Soda has come to the realm of Candy Crush Jelly. It's times like this when I go back, mostly because I realized I still had my old 2600 emulator with the bad sound on the hard drive. It's all there! Demons to Diamonds (TM)... more or less. Gotta fix that. Space Invaders with the farting spaceship, Defender, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man... 729 ROMs in all, and no time to play them. I had to try and beat Demon Attack, of course. I think it's the eighth level with the teentsy, weentsy aliens that still turn into two bats. That level got to me, but I tried again and somehow triumphed! Nice variation on Space Invaders; in the Space Invaders canon, it carves out its own niche somewhere between Galaxian and Phoenix. I think we can all agree that Phoenix blows chunks, especially given the import given to the phrase "Rising like a Phoenix" in our culture... okay, just played it again. Doesn't blow as many chunks as I thought. Besides! What's more thrilling to a gamer than blowing off the left wing of a demon, then the right wing, then the demon head itself?
