How it feels

Blasting through waves of enemies with twitch reflexes and arcade precision, often played co-op.

What players say

Players praise the game selection but criticize the emulation for input lag and slowdowns not present in the original arcade versions. The collection is barebones with save states and no online leaderboards, and the classic three-life limit with no infinite continues frustrates some newcomers.
