    I got this, hoping that it will bring back good memories of the games I played that were on it, instead the controls for Puchi Carat were messed up & completely took away the story which disappointed me but the G-Darius game brought back memories. The other games I just don't like.

    Another generous - if motley - assortment of old arcade games from Taito. The biggest draw to the casual gamer is probably likeable puzzle game Puzzle Bobble 2, but fans of old school scrolling shoot 'em ups should check out Raiden-alikes Grid Seeker, Gekirindan and Gun Frontier as well as Metal Black, Darius Gaiden and the creams of the crop G Darius and Ray Storm - two attractive 3DAnother generous - if motley - assortment of old arcade games from Taito.

    While there are 40 titles on offer, this ultimately weak collection of C-list games will excite only the most crazed retro mentalist. Not us, then. [Apr 2006, p.52]
  2. This particular package has much better presentation than the last one, with all games sorted into chronological order (a small but valuable point), and various useful options that make the experience far better than most retro collections. Nice one, Taito.
  3. The package is the perfect compliment to the first collection – although if you’re deciding between the two, the first contains more instantly recognisable titles and would come as the recommended purchase.
