This means that classic NES and SNES titles like Duck Tales, Gargoyle's Quest, and Demon's Crest have all been left behind. Also, other than the SNES version of Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, the only games available here are based off their arcade counterparts. Strider, Captain Commando, Magic Sword, Knights of the Round, Three Wonders, and Saturday Night Slam masters have all been omitted. The bad news for big-time Capcom fans is that several high-profile titles have been left off the disc. The console version of Bionic Commando was better. Whatever you do, though, don't overlook the surprise of the bunch in Exed Exes (you know it better as Attack of the Savage Bees) - it's a terrific little Gaplus rip-off with better graphics and some neat variations on the typical wave shooter. Unfortunately Capcom has included the lackluster arcade version of Bionic Commando instead of the better console one, and Section Z, Volgus, Son Son, and Trojan are only moderately exciting. Forgotten Worlds is still fun as hell, Ghosts 'N Goblins, Ghouls 'N Ghosts, and Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts are even better, and Gun Smoke and Mercs kick all kinds of double-barreled ass. The rest of the collection is no pushover either. Ryu and Ken fans in particular, should be happy to note that both SFII Champion Edition and the always-killer Hyper Fighting join the original Street Fighter II coin-op to triple your Hadoken fun. Likewise, the previously Japanese-only Pirate Ship Higemaru is an addicting homage to the SEGA puzzler Pengo, and his world-renowned Street Fighter series speaks for itself.

1942, 1943, and 1943 Kai are all considered legends in the arcade shooter market, and Final Fight was probably the single most played beat 'em up in the history of American pizza houses.

What about those games anyway? To Okamoto's credit, most of the ones he was involved with are also the best of this collection.
