Konami Arcade Classics for Gamers

This pre-played item is an excellent addition to your game collection, as it includes the game, game case, and manual with minimal wear. The game carts and discs have been professionally cleaned or resurfaced, ensuring a good playable experience. Bonus downloadable content may have already been redeemed.

Showcasing 10 Konami arcade games from the early to mid-1980s, this collection is a must-have for fans of the originals. Included are arcade-perfect translations of Pooyan, Scramble, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Roc'n'Rope, Shao Lin's Road, Circus Charlie, Super Cobra, Road Fighter, Time Pilot, and Gyrus. While these games may not be as well-known as 1980s classics like Asteroids and Pac-Man, they are by no means second-rate.

In fact, Konami Arcade Classics surpasses similar collections by Atari and Namco in terms of value, with only 2 of its 10 "hits" (Shao Lin's Road and Road Fighter) being considered duds. The gameplay remains just as addictive as it was in its day, despite the dated graphics and sounds.

The collection features standard retro video game package features, such as a short animated movie intro and brief background history. Additionally, it is vibration function-enhanced, which is a nice update that doesn't interfere with the retro experience. Users are recommended to use a dual shock controller, as its analog stick is much closer to an arcade joystick than the standard directional buttons.

While the collection may have limited appeal outside of nostalgic and veteran gamers, it is a must-have for fans of the original arcade games. The quality of the games more than makes up for the deficiency in the history department, and the vibration effects and controller support enhance the overall experience.

In conclusion, Konami Arcade Classics is a solid compilation that allows players to relive the glory days of classic arcade gaming. With its arcade-perfect translations and vibration-enhanced gameplay, it is a worthy addition to any gamer's collection.
