    For the cost ($4.99), it’s a bargain and an opportunity to add some classic arcade games to your collection.

    If you don't mind waiting until late May, Arcade Cabinet represents a decent value for the discounted $29.99 asking price over the $45 you'd pay for the five packs. I'm certain I spent over $50 in quarters in playing these titles for this review, if you'd like to look at it that way.

    Even with all these enticing extras, we wouldn’t recommend buying the Arcade Cabinet games in one of five available three-packs (most of which are $10); that’s too much money given that almost every three-fer includes a mediocre game.

Now there is this collection of all their best arcade games (minus all the fighting games) that probably built the company into the empire that it is today. For the release they give us Avenger, 1943, and Black Tiger; the underrated of the bunch. Beat-em-up, shooter, and adventure. Since the gameplay is simplistic, it's easy to play all 3 games without much trouble. I have had some trouble with some of the music, but it was the 80s so I can get over it. Now that the second pack has been released they get into the much harder arcade games. You will seriously start screaming at how unfair some parts of Section Z and Ghosts 'N Goblins get, but you start feeling a great satisfactory that you won't have to spend quarters anymore. The only reason you would want to press on with the game now is because you have unlimited continues and there isn't any nagging parent to stop you. If you think this is just a waste of your time and don't think you have the patience for arcade games anymore, that's fine. If you do like Capcom, definately go for the starter pack and wait for some arcade games you like. The next DLC pack is schedueled for March 19th, see you next time.… Full Review »

Capcom's arcade games from the mid-1980's were difficult, but a lot of fun. Titles such as Ghosts and Goblins, Commando, Gunsmoke and 1943 are included. They're perfectly ported and include several customization options. Each game also features a score attack mode, art galleries and online play. Unfortunately, not every title is a winner. Trojan and The Speed Rumbler are just okay. And only die-hard Capcom fans will want to try out Son, Son and Pirate Ship Higemaru. Despite its huge shortcomings, "Cabinet" is a good compilation. I would rate it with a 7.2 out of 10.… Full Review »
