* Gravitar Recharged (via Epic)
    Another old-school arcade game with neon-glow
    visual remasters. Personally, I find these old-
    school games just too simplistic for my tastes, but
    that's because I prefer games for story and setting.
    If its the challenge of the gameplay that grabs
    you, you'll probably get a kick out of these
    releases.

I did like Gravitar as a kid and was just thinking of playing it again
in MAME the other day... I also liked the somewhat similar game Thrust
on the C64. I think a couple of those Recharged games were freebies on
Epic, Centipede and some lesser known arcade, black widow maybe? But
those versions just sucked, they didn't seem to capture anything from
the originals. Plus the art style doesn't really please me.

After watching 30 seconds of gameplay video of this recharged Gravitar,
looks like it sucks too. So no sale here even if this is hardly
expensive on Steam (I don't have Prime).
