What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"The games are all emulated quite well, but aside from the couple of big-name titles featured, many of the games included in this suite are simply not worth playing."
"Overall, it's just a confusing, poorly conceived product that should set off a consumer's "money grab" senses. Tecmo was never an arcade dominant brand, but it did have some quality titles that would have significantly upgraded this compilation."
"Tecmo Classic Arcade does have a couple of enjoyable titles, but on the whole this pack is pretty bad. Even though Tecmo wasn't exactly king of the arcades in 1980, this compilation lacks some of the more recognizable and fun games in the company library, including Ninja Gaiden, Shadow Warriors, and Silk Worm. The emulation is spot-on, but the package is lacking in heavy polish and fun. And it's ten bucks more than other classic arcade packs with far fewer titles on the disc. Cut that price by half and maybe we'll talk."
"If I could buy Bomb Jack, Rygar, Solomon’s Key, and Strato Fighter for five dollars I would, but I can’t. Thirty bucks is what you’ll have to pay to play these eleven games and view the weak extras, and frankly, it’s hard to determine if it is worth it seeing as how many of these games are little known to Western coin-op gamers."
