Better than Namco Museum.
User Rating: 8 | SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 PS2
In my opinion, this is better than Namco Museum. There are 16 games. Art of Fighting is the origin of the fleshed-out story mode in fighting games. It's also the origin of the spirit bar that limits use of special moves. It has fun combat and minigames. Baseball Stars 2 is a fun baseball game. Burning Fight is a lot like Final Fight. But it's still a fun beat-'em-up. Fatal Fury comes off as a solid port of a decent fighting game. King of the Monsters is fun but can grow repetitive. Magician Lord is a fun platformer. Slow, and hard, but fun. Metal Slug is a hardcore side-scrolling shooter. And boy is it fun! There are a lot of enemies to shoot and hostages to save! Neo Turf Masters is a fun golf game. Samurai Shodown is a fun fighting game with weapons. Sengoku is a fun beat-'em-up game with a ressurected warlord for the villian and two heroes with, for whatever reason, no names. You can also transform in Magician Lord and Sengoku. Shock Troopers is a fun hardcore isometric shooter. Last Resort is a fun classic ship-based shooter. Super Sidekicks 3 is the best sports game here. There's something appealing about virtual soccer. When most people hear the term "fanservice game", they immediately think Super Smash Bros. But it was started by an arcade game called King of Fighters '94. This game had three-man tag teams. And characters from Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Ikari Warriors, and Psycho Soldier. There were also original characters. Top Hunter is a side-scrolling brawler that's a lot of fun to play. It's like an action version of Fatal Fury what with the dual-plane system. And you can unlock World Heroes. A fun fighting game that's a lot like Street Fighter. In the end, SNK Arcade Classics comes off as better than Namco Museum.
