Another great title for you to revisit the 80’s is the Capcom Classic Collection Reloaded. The Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded is a 19 game port, with some of the old Capcom classics. One could call this an upgraded version of the Capcom Classics Collection Remixed.

The PS2 version of this omnibus got a well-appreciated nod from Yoshiki Okamoto, the creator of most of these titles, and Okamoto’s titles contribute greatly to the success of the series. Some of his games are considered true legends, like the 1942, 1943 and 1943 Kai are some of the best shooters of their time.

Let’s not forget Pirate Ship Higemaru, which is basically a renewed, addictive version of the SEGA Pengo. I don’t even have to tell you about Street Fighter II included in the Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded edition, as it is probably one of the best game series of all time. For those true fans out there, you’ll be happy to know that Street Fighter II isn’t alone, but is accompanied by two other versions, namely the Champion Edition and the Hyper Fighting version.

The rest of the collection also has some great titles, such as Ghouls ‘n Goblins and Gun Smoke. Games like Mercs and Commando add to the fun. Games like Volgus and Son Son don’t quite match up to the others but are still fun to play from time to time.

There were some drops made to the game list too… four to be precise. The collection doesn’t have Trojan, Section Z, Final Fight and Forgotten Worlds, which are instead replaced by some PSP exclusive additions, King of Dragons, Eco Fighters, and Knights of the Round.

Knights of the round can be called one of the coolest games in the collection. It is a side scrolling hack n’ slash, and one of the first games that upgrades characters based on experience points.

Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded is great because it offers so many features that others don’t and it has some great hardcore settings for the hardcore gamers to experience the best of each game. Old school gamers will find this game to be way better than it’s predecessor in terms of list of games, and in general, with menus and the works.

SNK Arcade Classics Volume 1 is the next compilation title from SNK. They seem to be throwing out a lot of compilations off late, bringing old arcade gaming classics to modern gamers worldwide.

Sixteen of the old SKN arcade favorites are compiled into a single UMD for use on the PlayStation Portable. With sixteen games on a single UMD, you’re basically only paying a little less than two dollars for a great old time arcade game.

A simple menu, somewhat retro based helps you choose which game you’re going to play from an alphabetically organized menu, and gives you some more basic information on the title such as genre, year of release, number of players, etc.

For those who want specific details, the game list includes Shock Troopers, World Heroes, King of fighters ’94, Last Resort, Sengoku, Baseball Stars 2, Art of Fighting, King of Monsters, Top Hunter, Fatal Fury, Burning Fight, Neo Turf Masters, Super Sidekicks 3, Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown and Magician Lord.

Another added ‘attraction’ is the addition of goals to complete for each game. Goals can be accomplished through straightforward tasks such as completing a game on a certain difficulty level, and completing goals can unlock a wide range of goodies, such as artwork for other games in the collection, or unlocking move lists for fighting games.

Multiplayer over a wireless connection is quite fun to play, as almost all titles connect seamlessly over a wireless connection to other PSPs, although the Two player mode for these classics were a smoother version than the multiplayer mode, and probably a better choice.

Single player game play is unbeatable, and it lets you enjoy every bit of the old arcade experience right at your fingertips. Games like Baseball Stars 2, Neo Turf Masters, Last Resort and Top Hunter provide an exceedingly simple yet amazingly entertaining game play experience, provided you enjoy playing old time classic arcade games.

One of the best features of the title is the diversity of games. It has at least one of each great genre, such as fighting, sports, side-scrollers, and what not. SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 PSP is a must have for those who missed out on the Neo Geo era of gaming, and all the classic arcade games that came with it.
