Advantages: lots on one cart

Disadvantages: hard level not all that hard

42 all time classics has managed to pull off fitting lots of different games onto one small cart.

As the name suggests, the cart includes 42 games, although not all of these are available at the start. Some of these need to be unlocked. Games are unlocked by playing through stamp mode, in which you must earn three stamps for each game on the cart. It doesnt matter if you are rubbish at a game - you earn one stamp if you lose!

The games are divided into different categories; basic card games, intermediate card games, advanced card games, basic board games, advanced board games, variety games and solo games.

The focus is primarily on card games, with games such as pig, texas hold 'em, rummy, memory and other card favourites. But there is also a variety of board games - ludo, chess, backgammon and different games such as soda shake (in which you have to shake a bottle of soda without letting the cork fly off) and word balloon (a bit like hangman, only instead of being hung balloons burst!).

the game also features a mission mode, in which you can unlock different icons to use by completing specific challenges on each game (such as completing majhng solitare in 3 minutes, or getting three strikes in a row whilst bowling).

The variety keeps the cart fun and interesting, and whilst all 42 games won't suit each player, there are bound to be a fair selection that everyone will enjoy.

Summary: great value for money
