Super Technos World: River City & Technos Arcade Classics

Because you can't give games a mixed/neutral review, I have to lean towards no on this one unless you are a huge fan of the River City franchise (which started with the NES game "River City Ransom" and Taito's 80s arcade game "Renegade" in the US). There are some decent arcade games here but a number of good ones and major Technos hits are missing, namely the "Double Dragon" trilogy which is probably due to licensing (they gave some of it to Taito), as well as the original arcade "Super Dodge Ball" from the 80s. And no River City Ransom? Most of the console games are also Japanese-only too. I love compilations like this and the number of games is great for the price, but this one is a very niche collection and seems geared more towards Japanese games and not American players. If you want to check it out, wait for a good sale (when it may eventually go 50-75% off).

Another low budget, minimum effort bundle of ROMs. The programming is so bad that once you change the keys for one of the games, the menu ceases to operate correctly since it changes the keys for the emulator menu as well as the emulated game. That's just stupid and a clear indication of how little thought or effort went into making this bundle. Publishing crap like this make Arc System Works look like idiots, which is sad because they publish some really great games.

I have to say the arcade games are fun but some of the console version games are broken in this collection. I hope i get refunded soon because this was my worst investment.

A mix bag of games, two of which are Japanese RPGs with no other language options. Quick save state are helpful. The arcade games are typically cheap, and fun. Unless you can read Japanese, have nostalgia of any of the game or love trying different arcade games I recommend giving this game collection a miss and look at other arcade collection instead.

Some of it is in Japanesse.:steammocking:

Good game all around. Wish they provided NES copies of River City Ransom and Dodgeball along with the Gameboy versions. Could have a bigger selection of games in my opinion. Can see a lot of potential in an all Kunio collection should they decide to release more. Worth 20$ easy.
