Editors’ Review

This program itself isn’t a game. It’s a portal leading to hundreds of excellent arcade games. Most of the games offer 60-minute trials and cost $19.95 to register. The Web Games tab lets you play free Web-based variations using a special plug-in. The program also can search your hard drive for all the games you already have, providing one-stop access to the lot. If it misses a game, you can drag and drop its shortcut onto the RealArcade window. The interface also gives you access to game reviews and message boards so you always can get cheats and tricks from the community. The program includes no adware, although ads sometimes appear in the interface for the Web games. The only downside is installing the package can take quite a while, but we think it’s worth the time. We recommend RealArcade to all casual and arcade gamers.
