Remember when those Neo-Geo systems first came out? The games were so expensive that only one or two of the richest kids in school had one or two games. Or at least, that's how I saw it! Now you can own those rippin' expensive games for a fraction of the cost. And, all-in-all, it's worth it. There is some repetition with the fighting games, but that may be where the greatest strength for this collection comes from depending on your personal tastes. I personally loved the side-scrolling platformers; Metal Slug and Top Hunters are cool as hell, with pretty impressive graphics considering their age. The sports games, Baseball Stars 2 and Super Sidekicks 3 seem incredibly difficult, but then I remind us all that most of these games were designed for the arcade in which precious quarters can't be earned with a game that takes minimal effort to beat! Sengoku give us some nice Double Dragon action in a Japanese spirit world setting (ala Ronin Warriors). There are a couple other games, including a shooter that are interesting, but I haven't had much time to play, yet. Bottom line, dudes and dudettes, if you're interested in a little retro fix, and considering the lack of these types of games on the Wii, you won't regret dropping a few bucks on this collection.Buy SNK Arcade Classics Volume 1!
