    With its variety of shoot 'em ups and cooperative arcade funfests, Toaplan Arcade Collection Vol. 1 is a superb collection that retro enthusiasts will love. Even without many extras, there are so many clever options and ways to play and it's all emulated exceptionally well.

    This compilation offers up eight shoot 'em ups from one of the main innovators of the genre and is a must for fans of Toaplan and shoot 'em ups in general. It's also insanely difficult most of the time but has enough quality of life features to help mitigate that.
