Cash Cow DX

A hectic bit of arcade action and fun, but not quite as refined as some of its peers

Cash Cow DX certainly looks and sounds like it would've fit right in with your favorite '80s arcade games, but you'd have either needed crazy skills or a bag full of quarters to play it for long. The game's immediate difficulty will turn away a good portion of its target audience.

There are better arcade-style games out there but Cash Cow DX remains an entertaining platformer that'll definitely test your skills.

Cash Cow DX is a solid arcade game that channels the spirit of 80s classics. As I’ve said about many of Flynn’s Arcade’s releases, if they ever opened a real arcade filled with the games they’ve published, I’d happily visit and spend a few coins. For the price of entry, Cash Cow DX offers a fun and challenging arcade experience that’s particularly suited for retro gaming fans. That said, the game’s difficulty might prove to be a bit too much for casual players or those unfamiliar with the punishing mechanics of old-school arcade games. While it’s not the best arcade game I’ve ever played, it’s certainly worth the cost for fans of quick, nostalgic action.
