4.0 out of 5 stars Great compilation, despite the obvious omissions, October 15, 2007

Firstly, Amazon's product description is completely inaccurate. This game does not contain Darius Gaiden, Rastan 2, or a total of 40 games.
Rather, it's got about 20 games, the standouts being several renditions of Space Invaders, Rastan part 1, Cameltry, Qix, KikiKaiKai, and a few others. Four remade games add value, including great versions of Cameltry and Legend of Kage.

Bubble Bobble is noticably absent, as is Rainbow Islands, which was included in the Japanese version. Still, you get a bunch of fun games (which multiple display options, such as vertical or zoomed-in views) for a low price.

4.0 out of 5 stars The arcade experience defined and miniaturized, October 17, 2007

Just hearing the opening SFX and Music to Elevator Action is enough to warrant this purchase for me on a nostalgia level, but the quality of this package and ARCADE perfect ports make it one of the best values on the handheld. The games all have nice options to switch shoot to O button for example as I prefer it, the screen settings are a nice option as well allowing you to tilt your PSP for a vertical scroll arcade replication on some titles or just to make your favorite game fit the PSP WS. The game saves my high scores and keeps me coming back to beat it, and I find alot of these games are easier with the PSP controls than they were with a JOYSTICK (Elevator Action) so frustration factor is lowered allowing you to find a new favorite old school addiction without shelling out all those quarters we used to spend.

Very fun to play. Very good quality. The only thing I don't care for is turning some of the games sideways. It's alittle hard to use the controls that way.
