I have to continually reconfigure my game controller to work with it each time I play. Ideally you would only need to select a title from a drop-down list, but not here.Īlso annoying is the game's habit of resetting your controls each time you load it up. Chiefly at fault is a horrible menu system that forces you to scroll through each of the games before you come to the one you want. Most are also two player, and they work fine with many different controllers.Īlso, some of the games weren't widely available, and getting to play games I had never heard of, like Growl and Gun Frontier, was a ton of fun.īut, though this collection has great games, and plenty of cool bonus features, it does have some warts. There seem to be more scrolling-shooters this time around, with graphic powerhouses like Darius Gaiden, Elevator Action Returns, and Bubble Symphony mingling with older titles like Alpine Ski and Crazy Balloon.Įach games has extras like configurable controls, scans of the original flyers sent out to arcade owners and the like.

With games from an era I never truly got to experience, this Taito Legends (the second game in Taito's Legends series of collections) is packed with tons of classic, and obscure, arcade treasures. I'm a big fan of classic gaming from any era, and since I play primarily on my PC, it's always a joy when I can find a collection like this. provides you a neat clean cut-through of some classic arcade games from last. Overall there are some bad games included, but most of them are very good. However be prepared for intense difficulty if you are aiming for the high score, if you haven't played these games before you'll die a lot. I can still warmly recommend this game collection to any person who's into retro gaming. There would be dozens of other games to talk about but my time and will is limited. However the wacky Space Invaders '95 and Space Invaders DX (original ones and parody + 2 player versions) earned their spots. It's not that I didn't like Space Invaders, it's just that one of them could have been easily replaced by some other game. One thing I was slightly taken down by was the 3 Space Invaders included in the package. Also many of the scrolling shoot'em ups cause pain by their difficulty level. These games mentioned earlier include Growl where tens of enemies attack you at the same time and you can't do anything to block them or avoid them. Coin system helps with some games to continue the game as if nothing happened (usually resetting score to 0), but that takes away the fun from playing because you'll finish the game anyway after playing long enough. It's good if you like challenge, but in my case I just got frustrated. In fact they're insanely difficult and due to slightly hard controls in some games they're nearly impossible.

The games beginning intro has catchy tune and shows a small piece of each game included in the collection, though PS2 version doesn't have one of the games shown in the video. Beat 'em ups, Shoot 'em ups, fighting, action RPG, puzzle games and platformers from the last 3 decades, all in a neat package and easy to use system. As a curiosity Growl's cheesy storyline is worth for a laugh or two when playing with a friend. And if you prefer shoot'em ups there's a wide load of them in there. Older games such as Lunar Lander, Crazy Balloon and Alpine Ski also provide a time trip back in time. Games such as Elevator Action Returns, Don Doko Don and Cleopatra as well as Puzzle Bobble 2 and Puchi Carat certainly rise above the mass with neat graphics and good 2-player experience. Some games rise above the others in both terms of fun gameplay and interesting concept. This collection is huge, 39 games from different eras are sure to fulfill your any arcade gaming needs.
