    We would have paid in excess of $6400 for this collection, which you can now buy for less than the sales tax. [Apr 2008, p.57]

    Stuff like Metal Slug, Top Hunter, and Sengoku are definitely worth playing, regardless of the other games’ mediocrity.

    Some of the games are marred by slowdown and problematic load times, and the lack of certain fan favorites (like Super Baseball 2020 and Viewpoint) is questionable. Still, for $20, these Arcade Classics aren't too shabby.

    SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 brings us a hearty collection that isn't bad at all but it's just not presented as good as it should have been considering the console’s track record of doing justice to other classics.

    If you missed out on the Neo Geo and you want to experience some nostalgic goodness, this compilation works just fine. Unfortunately, the experience is definitely hampered by some technical problems like long load times and in-game slowdown.

    Don't consider it unless nostalgia flows through your veins. [Christmas 2008, p.84]

    Nostalgia enthusiasts could do a lot worse than to pick up a used copy at their local game store, and $20 is about right for the new price.
