    Normally in compilations there is one good game and the rest is filler, not the case here, each game is a joy to play, yes the graphics look bad by today’s standards but that’s not the point, its all about playability and this disc has loads of it.

    SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 is a solid purchase for players on the go who hope to relive the glory days of the arcades or learn more about the history of their favorite hobby.

    It's nice seeing these SNK classics being preserved through these compilations, and it's encouraging that they decided to drop a whopping 16 titles into the first volume without resorting to cheap filler titles.

    The PSP version has some loading problems and wonky multiplayer, but gaming on your own is just fine.

    If you're a fan of SNK games, it will probably be easy for you to look past the game's quirks and shortcomings. You get a lot of games for your money here.

    Looking at undoubtely the golden decade of arcades, SNK launches a bunch of their games. Some will makes us smile remembering, like the first Metal Slug, Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, but some won't. Better online features would be welcomed, but anyways the overall feeling of this compilation isn't a bad one thanks to the versatility of genres.

    It may seem as though this collection is full of simplistic, no-hoper games, but underneath the shocking presentation you can find a fair few games that you could happily spend hours on.
