10 Best Video Game Minigames Ever
5. Pip-Boy Mini Games - Fallout 4
Pip-Boys are iconic pieces of technology found in every Fallout game by this point, though the version in Fallout 4 (the Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV for those wondering) might just be the best of the lot. As well as all the essentials needed to make it in the wilderness, the Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV carries several minigames that players can collect when out on their travels.
Based off classic retro games from the late 1970s and early 1980s in real world history, these games are all simple but addictive and presented with that Fallout style that every gamer should love:
- Atomic Command: Based off Missile Command, Atomic Command sees players take control of an anti-aircraft gun which must shoot down various threats before they land on eight American landmarks.
- Automatron: Based off Robotron 2084, Automatron has players take control of a survivor who has to shoot through robot enemies and avoid running into them in return.
- Grognak & The Ruby Ruins: Based off The Bard's Tale, Grognak the Barbarian is a character featured in various magazines located throughout the Fallout world, and The Ruby Ruins is his very own role-playing adventure where players have the ability to choose all of his decisions.
- Pipfall: Based off Pitfall!, Pipfall is a side scrolling game that sees players take control of Vault Boy as he makes his way across the wastelands of the world picking up bobbleheads.
- Red Menace: Based off Donkey Kong, players once again take hold of Vault Boy as he runs up platforms and scales ladders to save the fair lady from the Red Menace and his dreaded barrels.
- Zeta Invaders: This is just Space Invaders, and equally great.
