SNK ARCADE CLASSICS: VOLUME 1 will include the following SNK games:
- ART OF FIGHTING - The first game in SNK's second fighting-game franchise, set in the same universe as FATAL FURY. It was the first fighting game by SNK to feature the character designs of former SNK illustrator Shinkiro, who would go on to do the character designs for the later Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters games.
- BASEBALL STARS 2 - The sequel to SNK's popular baseball arcade game. Players can create leagues of up to 125 games (6 teams playing each other 25 times) and view statistics such as League Standings, Average, Home Runs, Runs Batted In, Earned Run Average, Wins and Saves. Players can fire players and upgrade them using the same 15-point system introduced in the original Baseball Stars.
- BURNING FIGHT - New York detectives battle organized crime in this fighter. Duke and Billy, two popular and renowned New York City Police detectives, are hot on the trail of a dangerous Japanese crime syndicate. Their investigation has led them to the mean streets of Japan where they meet a police officer and martial arts expert named Ryu. Ryu agrees to join the NYPD detectives as they track down the crime syndicate bosses and end their reign of terror once and for all.
- FATAL FURY - First released in 1991, FATAL FURY introduced the two-plane fighting system. The main fighting game feature that the original Fatal Fury was known for was the two-plane system. Characters would fight from two different planes, and by stepping between the planes, attacks could be dodged with ease.
- KING OF FIGHTERS '94 - The first game in the popular KING OF FIGHTERS series. King of Fighters '94 introduces the series' signature 3-man team system. Instead of a simple one-on-one, two round fight system, a player chooses a team of three characters, then determines the order to play them in. Each fight consists of up to 5 rounds, and each round ends when one of the two fighters is knocked out; the remaining fighter stays and faces the opponent's next character. A fight is won when one of the two players loses the last of their three fighters.
- KING OF THE MONSTERS - In KING OF THE MONSTERS, giant monsters fight for power in epic battles. Players get to choose any one of six monsters (four in the ports) for battle, and two players can join forces to fight the monsters together. Battles end when one of the monsters is pinned for a three count or if time expires (in which case the player loses).
- LAST RESORT - A challenging futuristic shooter. The gameplay was heavily inspired by R-Type and its system of pod attached to the player's ship. Its first level remained memorable for its homage to the futuristic Neo-Tokyo depicted in the anime Akira.
- MAGICIAN LORD - Players help the wizard Elta save his homeworld in this platformer. The player controls the wizard Elta, the last magician lord, on his quest to save his homeland from the evil Gul-Agieze who plans to resurrect the god of destruction using eight tomes of mystical power. As Elta the player must battle through eight levels to find each of the tomes before he can reach the final battle and seal away the evil god once again.
- METAL SLUG - This run-and-gun side-scroller was the first in the popular series. It's widely known for its sense of humor, extremely fluid hand-drawn animation, and fast paced two-player action.
- NEO TURF MASTERS - A golf game which debuted on the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 1999. The game included a VS mode and three single player modes, as well as having six players to choose from. You played in one of three countries, USA, Japan and Germany.
- SAMURAI SHODOWN - Set in the 18th century, SAMURAI SHODOWN features bladed-weapon combat and an international cast of characters.
- SENGOKU - In SENGOKU, players face off against undead feudal Japanese armies.
- SHOCK TROOPERS - In this run-and-gun adventure, players save a scientist and his granddaughter from the Bloody Scorpions.
- SUPER SIDEKICKS 3 - A soccer game featuring teams from all over the world.
- TOP HUNTER - Bounty hunters protect colonists from space pirates in this futuristic action game.
- WORLD HEROES - This classic fighter pits players against historical figures in a tournament enabled by time travel.

Oh yes, the Neo*Geo. For those who remember, this was the most powerful video game system for its time. But the high price keep it out of reach of most gamers. So we just played it at the arcade of the MVS (or arcade machine) rather than buy the AES (or home gaming system).
Fast-forward to 2008. SNK Playmore releases SNK Arcade Classics Vol 1. This collection gives us some of the Neo Geo's most well known games(Samurai Shodown, MAGICIAN LORD, King of Fighters 94, Metal Slug, & Baseball ... Read More

Very good and somewhat nostalgic collection of games collected for the PS2. For the most part you get unlimited continues with each game and three levels of difficulty which I have yet to look into adjusting. I bought it for the nostalgia and to have some interesting games for my PS2 since I have not yet been convinced to buy a PS3. For the purposes I bought it for it has sufficed admirably. Although a secondary reason is still aways off as I intend to give my nephew an education in video game history ... Read More

I just bought this game but I was disappointed that there is a lag in the controls no matter what you are pressing. Graphics look great of course, that wears off when you realize there is a delay for everything you do. I wish this retro compilation could have got it right. Still fun somehow... it would have been perfect if it had P.O.W., maybe the next volume will have it.

This game is awesome! Every game is just like the arcade! Great collection of games from the golden era of arcade. It's surprising to see games made in the early 1990's have such nice graphics. Good job SNK! Can't wait for volume 2!!
I don't know why people complain about technical issues. In my opinion everything is fine and perfect like the arcade machines. If the graphic is bad then I suggest changing to S-video or component cable.
Overall this is a MUST BUY for all classic ... Read More
