User Rating: 7.2 | Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Classics GBA
I picked this up for $13 at the local retail outlet. Having played most of these games firsthand in their original form, I have to say that while the gameplay and graphics are fairly well emulated, they butchered the sound. Perhaps it's a limitation of the GBA's sound hardware. I just remember it sounding a lot better. The Flamethrower sound in Rush'n'attack, the Gong in Yi Ar Kung Fu, the totally missing most common music in Frogger, ect. At least the Gradius music came across reasonably well. It was better in it's original form, but it's a very nice little score. Aside from that, we're looking at remakes, not emulation of the original games. However, they're skillfully enough done that most people probably won't notice the difference. (But then, most people probably didn't play the original.)
