LEGO® Dimensions was released last September and there have been a number of interesting releases within the Dimensions series so far.
Some of their themes including the Simpsons and Back to the Future have not been particularly successful in their appeal however others like Doctor Who, Portal 2 and Ghostbusters have been much more well received and generally regarded as being more fun.

This particular LEGO® Dimensions version involves battling out various old school levels and bosses through LEGO® generated scenes and sequences. Some are more fun than others while some hold out much better over time. One interesting review comment suggested that the further back in time a game actually went, the better it holds up. One only has to look at Pong to see the plausibility of this statement, at least to some degree.

Finally, the LEGO® set also comes with its very own gamer kid and arcade machine which looks absolutely amazing and goes even further toward capturing what will forever be known as the golden age of the video game.
