Hopefully there will be a Volume 2, because Konami has a deeper catalog of iconic arcade hits than one collection can contain. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 20]
Arcade Classics reunites some of the most iconic Konami coin ops, although we've missed a little more variety (7 o the 8 games are shumps), more options (like being able to play some of them vertically) and more extras aside from the included digital book. But if you love retro games, it's not a bad choice for 20 euros.
A compilation of Konami arcade games that will force you to play again and again to complete each level due to its high difficulty. Recommended only if you are very fan of arcade games.
As pleased fans will be to see Gradius and company (most of said company anyway) return in pristine, faithful fashion in such a welcomingly retrospective admiration — add to this the barebones features and basic presentation — beyond the most embedded of shmup enthusiasts, the Konami Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection doesn’t quite come across as celebratory as you might think.
Unless you are terribly nostalgic for the games in this package or a die-hard shoot-em’-up fan, I can’t fully recommend it when there are such better value propositions out there.
We really hope that Konami will treat the upcoming Castlevania and Contra collections with much more love and attention to detail because this first outing in the retrogaming market is far from remarkable.
A poor collection. There is no delicate way to say it.
