VISCO Collection

This is a truly horrible release of mostly amazing arcade titles that I can't recommend to even the most ardent NeoGeo lovers. I for one have been waiting for some of these titles for more than a decade, and when Hamster never released them in their ACA NeoGeo series, I hoped someone else would get the license and do so, and was SO excited when I saw this release. There was a great deal @fanatical when I bought it, but had I bought this from Steam I would have returned it within 20 minutes, however sadly I am stuck with it. I believe a lot of retro gamers who buy this know the OG games, so I'd rather talk about the quality of the release, and it's so bad it's a deal breaker. The button mapping is terrible for almost every game, but you can't get around it by playing with a keyboard and using a keyboard to controller tool because as soon as a controller is detected it 100% disables all keyboard controls. I tried make custom layouts for each game in Steam and every single time when I made one for the next game, the previous game's settings were corrupted or just disappeared in some cases. OK that might be a steam bug when trying to create multiple profiles for one main title, howe…

While playing [i]Neo Drift Out[/i], I got to the final stage (Great Britain), and my wife started laughing. I said, "Yeah, they obviously just reused the Africa assets here." She said, "No, that's just the way Britain looks today." It took me a few seconds to process her response, but once I snapped out of the gameplay, I was, like, "...well, you got me there."

I love Neo Drift Out. Easily one of my favourite arcade titles.

Some good games in here - very of the time. Not sure if I ever crossed paths with any of them in arcades, but a very familiar feel to them. Stretch screen, filters, save states etc if you want them.

VISCO Collection is a nostalgic compilation that gathers seven arcade games from Visco Corporation into one package, offering a surprisingly diverse look at the company's catalog. Rather than concentrating on one genre, the collection jumps between shoot 'em ups, action platforming, competitive arcade games, soccer, and rally racing. The modern release was developed by QUByte Interactive and published by QUByte Interactive alongside PixelHeart. Its broad selection is one of its greatest strengths, since switching games can feel like walking from one cabinet to another in an old-school arcade. Andro Dunos delivers the most traditional shoot 'em up experience in the package, placing players inside a spacecraft and sending them through enemy formations, environmental hazards, and large bosses. Its mechanics are easy to understand but demand increasingly precise movement as the action intensifies. Captain Tomaday also belongs to the shooter family but has a much more eccentric personality. Its colorful presentation, unusual protagonist, strange enemies, and playful concepts give it a distinctly different atmosphere. Having both games together demonstrates how arcade shooters could fol…
