I bought Tecmo Classic Arcade last week and have played it every day since. Anybody who remembers the days of going to the arcade in the 80's and 90's after school will appreciate this collection of gems. The first game that comes to mind is Tecmo Bowl. I've played it on the old NES and have seen it in the Arcade as well. It's still a blast to play. Rygar is a side scrolling hack&slash game that's done very well. Solomon's Key, this action puzzle game, is exactly like the NES and arcade version as well. The last game I remember is Bomb Jack, the NES version is "Mighty Bomb Jack". You're this little guy with a mask and cape, trying to collect all the bombs in the levels. This version is the arcade version, this game is addictive!If you enjoy the games of the past, you'll love Tecmo Classic Arcade.

First, you know if the titles are for you or not. If you need nostalgia or an interlude of "where are we now" or even want to hit a bargain bin, there are some good games mixed in with some bad ones. This isn't debating the validity of the purchase but hoping to clarify some of the mentioned titles and let you decide if the price is worth it.

Techmo Bowl - Really old Techmo game that is the arcade version. Personally I would rather playa later Tecmo Bowl (like 3) if I needed a fix that badly, but the side-scroller is still fun if taken is small doses.

Rygar - While the remake didn't really measure up, Rygar was a good game in its day. Another side-scroller, only this comes with implements that make it upgradeable. Better weapons, more heath; all the classic symptoms of a carry-over world.

Solomon's Key - Were I to buy this, I would buy it for this game. Personal choice and not well known, but its basically a game where you navigate treacherous puzzle-based rooms with destroyable blocks, fireballs, and monsters that are sometimes a bit horrible the first go.
The challenge feels rewarding somehow.

Bomb Jack - This was fun when it first came out and had a few entries later on. Basic but fun.

And the others are offshoots of things like Defender, of Frogger with water and logs to dodge, and Pinball with pretty pictures. Titles included and not directly mentioned: Starforce, Tecmo Cup, Pleaids, Senjyo, Swimmer, and Strato Fighter.

I got this game for my boyfriend for his birthday because he said he wanted Tecmo Bowl, but the game he was actually talking about was Tecmo Super Bowl. So he was pretty disappointed until we played Star Force, which he says the game is worth it just for that. He's played the games in the arcade back in the day, and I'm only 19, so I've never played these games before but I'd have to say that I really enjoy Star Force. That game is awesome.
