Capcom Classics Collection

This is an awesome collection of games. All together this 'game' or collection is perhaps the best game for current generation consoles IMO. Go ahead and laugh! This is because most modern games are not fun and lack gameplay. The only awesome game I've played from current generation consoles is Ninja Gaiden.

These are REAL games from the GOLDEN ERA of ARCADE. IMO some of these old games should be made modern! Imagine Forgotten Worlds in full intense 3-D spectular mayhem fashion on Xbox 360 and PS3. However 3-D can really kill games, this is evident in many remakes such as Castlevania LOI. IMO current generation consoles are not all that and playing 3-D games on a single TV screen just isn't all that. Im waiting for hologram consoles.

Looking at the preview screen shots gave me the impression that some games are console version from NES, SNES, etc... However Im glad to report that the games are arcade versions. Each game looks wonderful and comes with history info, unlockable art, tips, cast, and music. You can adjust the screen, difficulty, etc.... These games really test your reflexes.

Here are the arcade machines:

1942, 1943, and 1943 Kai. A vertical shooter. You shoot up Japanese WW2 planes, ships, etc... Great game(s).

Bionic Commando: A horizontal platformer. You swing across trees and kill enemies. So so game.

Commando: A popular vertical shooter. You are a charging marine. Great game.

Exed Exes: One of many excess shooters found in this collection. Okay game.

Final Fight: A super popular horizontal brawler. Great game. Similar to Streets of Rage.

Forgotten Worlds: A horizontal shooter. Futuristic, ancient and zany. Awesome background theme and graphic. You can buy weapons from a pretty blonde chick too. Superb game.

Ghosts 'n Goblins: A horizontal platformer. Cool medieval theme and monster design. Great game. BTW Recently I checked out an original Ghosts 'n Goblins arcade machine at an old pier amusement place, its made by Taito, lol and the graphic is hideous compare to the Capcom version on this disc.

Ghouls 'n Ghosts: A later version of the former. Great game.

Gun.Smoke: A vertical shooter. You are a cowboy in the old wild wild west. Great game. Excellent new button system.

Legendary Wings: A mythological vertical shooter. You have flying wings, cool Greek setting. Great game.

Mercs: Similar to Commando. Okay game.

Pirate Ship Higemaru: I never seen this at arcades. Horrible game.

Section Z: A futuristic horizontal shooter with 'metroidish' levels. Good game.

Son Son: A horizontal half platform half shooter. Simple but decent game.

Street Fighter II, SFII Champion Edition, and SFII Hyper Fighting: Biggest game ever from Capcom. Great fighter game. There is a two to three seconds of loading time between matches, its rather annoying.

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts: Third game of the series. Insane difficulty just like last two. Great game.

Trojan: Horizontal brawler. Metro ghetto setting. Great game.

Vulgus: Another vertical futuristic shooter. So so game.

Overall this is a MUST BUY for all REAL gamers. I urge younger generation games to give this a try. Thanks a zillion Capcom for making this game!
