SNK 40th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION

Ozma Wars Taken in context this was contemporary to Galaxian and only a year after Space Invaders, so not bad at all. 1979 and they're already having bosses. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is this game loud. Early on these guys knew the loud games got more attention. Sasuke vs Commander This one's cute. Again, boss encounters! Fantasy The exact second we could get voices in a video game we used them to be racist, that's wild. Anyway this is trend-chasing Donkey Kong. Vanguard An early trend-chaser of Scramble! Noticing a pattern. It's possible to beat this at least. Munch Mobile Good luck controlling this one holy hell. Alpha Mission You're not beating that first boss without powerups. TNK Yeah SNK definitely innovated by making the lives system a lie. You either live with all powerups until the end or you lose. Athena Somehow *not* a trend chaser for Kid Icarus. Find the powerups hidden in the level or die. Or sometimes just die anyway. I still don't know what's going on with the jump. Ikari Warriors Music helps a lot. The first one is just about doable and they certainly made a more rousing experience than TNK here. Ikari II Oh *now* we're on to some…

If you grew up in arcades throughout the 80's and 90's, this nostalgia is for you!

Achievements STILL do not work. Buggy/Slowed gameplay. Controls are odd on Xbox controller and no way to change. Very disappointing. Low-end emulation port with 8 year problems.

I can pay $30 or more on ebay for Crystalis for the NES or I can buy it for $30 or under on Steam but ebay doesn't ship God Slayer: Haruka Tenkū no Sonata with it and I prefer the Japanese God Slayer version more. Then you have Prisoners of War, Guerrilla War, Iron Tank and two and a half Ikari Warriors games that cost about $140 for all of them on the NES. Then there is the Arcade versions for people that like the games to be "easier" and "run better". Games that have better graphics and all the content they were created with in most cases. Wouldn't recommend this to the average person, just retro gamers. I would imagine the majority of people will be after either Crystalis / God Slayer or the arcade versions of TNK III, Guerrilla War, Prisoners of War and Ikari Warriors. Then there will be a group that's after Athena and Psycho Soldier. Anyone that buys this just for Athena on NES deserves to play Athena on the NES.

😮👍👍

Its good
