Light-gun technology game machine. Childhood memory. One of my earliest encounters with action video games. I am happy that I figured out it's name as I was too young to even know how to read back then. The Maximum Force game machine was onboard the big old sea-crossing ferry that I and thousands more travelled with countless of times to the world abroad. The voyage took two days so we had plenty of time to relax, rejuvenate and most importantly play in. Eventually the game machine was either sold or broke down, albeit it is onboard the old ferry no more. It would be interesting to see it again in action. It is worth preserving as it had interesting graphics and playstyle. Also worth mentioning Maximum Force, likewise the Times Crisis series, is a part of video game Light-gun history. Therefore it deserves a honorable seat among the classics and be available to anyone anytime. In the end, no matter how good or bad they might be, all classic video games are a part of video game history and eventually all should be made available to the future generations. Might I remind you that Light-guns are still in the making and available to purchase.

Mass Effect
Mass EffectWhat starts as a routine mission to an agrarian outpost quickly becomes the opening salvo in an epic war. As the newly appointed Executive Officer of the SSV Normandy, you'll assemble and lead an elite squad of heroes into battle after heart-pounding battle. Each decision you make will impact not only your fate, but the destiny of the entire galaxy in the Mass Effect trilogy. Key Features: Incredible, interactive storytelling. Create and customize your own character, from Commander Shepard's appearance and skills to a personalized arsenal. Unleash devastating abilities as you command and train. Your decisions will control the outcome of each mission, your relationships with your crew and ultimately the entire war. An amazing universe to explore. From the massive Citadel to the harsh, radioactive landscape of the Krogan home world – the incredible breadth of the Mass Effect universe will blow you away. Travel to the farthest outposts aboard the SSV Normandy, the most technologically advanced ship in the galaxy. You'll follow the clues left by ancient civilizations, discover hidden bases with fantastic new tech and lead your hand-picked crew into explosive alien battles. Edge-of-your-seat excitement meets strategic combat. Find the perfect combination of squad-mates and weapons for each battle if you want to lead them to victory. Sun-Tzu's advice remains as pertinent in 2183 as it is today – know your enemy. You'll need different tactics for a squad of enemies with devastating biotic attacks than a heavily armored Geth Colossus so choose your teams wisely.
