Street Racer Collection feels more like a nostalgic sampler than a full-on retrospective, serving up four varied entries of Vivid Image’s spirited ‘90s kart racer. While it’s not the complete history fans might hope for, it’s a mildly fun, curious time capsule that demonstrates the power of split-screen rivalries.

Milano’s Odd Job Collection feels like prying open a late-’90s time capsule and finding a quirky gem inside. Sure, the blend of life sim and mini-game collection isn’t revolutionary, but it’s welcome throwback to a halcyon era. Between the summer vibe and the heart-warming sense of nostalgia, it should delight fans of retro curios.

The Telenet Shooting Collection delivers a quartet of standout shooters that still sizzle with speed, challenge, and mechanical ingenuity decades later. Unfortunately, the rather barebones presentation and missing historical context don’t provide a worthy celebration of Telenet’s legacy.

Mutant League Football 2 is a welcome antidote to today’s stale, hyper-serious sports sims. It may have some rough edges—like repetitive commentary and stiff collision animations, but chaotic play and bloody mayhem make for a much more exciting experience than any EA football title in the past decade.

Trouble Witches FINAL! fuses a magical barrier system and randomized shop visits with taut tight horizontal shooting, giving each run a sense of improvisation rather than memorization. This is a well-preserved doujin shooter with mechanics, polish, and pacing that still hold up nearly twenty years on.

Utawarerumono ZAN delivers brisk, skillful musou-style chaos with a loyal nod to its source material, though its content length and story compression may leave some players wanting more depth for the price. If you’re chasing spectacle and quick-hit battles, you’ll find a satisfying confection. But if you’re hoping for a rich narrative, this abridged retelling, your expectations might be soured.

NeverAwake Flashback turns the original’s haunting twin-stick shooting into fast, arcade-like roguelike runs that trade RPG-style growth for quick hits of intensity and style. It loses some of the original’s melancholy depth, but if you want a tough, dreamlike shooter, Flashback is fun for a few runs.

Hero Seekers sticks closely to KEMCO’s budget-minded RPG formula, delivering serviceable storytelling and traditional turn-based combat that rarely surprises but is approachable. A gacha-style hero summoning and flexible party-building system add just enough variety to elevate it above the publisher’s more forgettable efforts, even if the RPG Maker-looking presentation keep it from truly standing out.

Taxi Chaos 2 desperately wants to channel Crazy Taxi’s breakneck magic, but its sloppy physics and constant bugs grind that momentum into the pavement. What should be an exhilarating arcade throwback instead becomes a frustrating mess that’s more likely to make you quit the ride than chase down a high score.

MOCHI-O is a compelling mashup of pet-raising and arcade defense that keeps you bouncing between cuddling a hamster and mowing down enemy squadrons. It has some rough edges, especially in its UI and controller support. But at its low price point the upgrade-driven loop and offbeat charm make it easy to become hooked.

Pool Room Billiard isn’t an abundant adaptation, but it offers a laid-back, competent take on 8-ball and 9-ball that’s enjoyable in short bursts. For ten dollars, its mix of decent physics, multiple modes, and old-school budget charm makes a few rough edges easy to overlook.

Rightfully, Beary Arms sounds like a goofy good time, but combat is so sluggish and underpowered that most runs feel like chores instead of experiments. There’s charm in the concept of a gun-toting bear, yet the grindy progression and flat combat make it hard to justify sticking around for another run.

Wagamama High Spec OC trades high drama for heartfelt follow-ups, giving each heroine room to breathe after the confession. It’s comfort food for returning fans; familiar, sweet, and just substantial enough to warrant your time and money.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is a confident, character-focused entry that pairs cinematic storytelling and appealing subplots with some of the tightest, most responsive combat the series has seen. Though largely an enhanced edition of Ys X: Nordics rather than a bold reinvention, the added content and polish make it the ideal way to set sail with Adol and Karja’s high-seas adventure, if you missed out on the original.

Centipede Gun is a five-dollar action roguelite where you build a many-legged war machine and watch your synergies light up the screen. It doesn’t have the depth to last forever, but for a few punchy runs, this bug definitely has bite.

Fortuna Magus is a compact, retro-inspired JRPG that sticks closely to KEMCO’s familiar formula but elevates it with a surprisingly heartfelt story. While its magestone system adds a welcome layer of customization, the short length and limited character progression keep it from feeling truly special.

Raiden Fighters Remix Collection brings the thunder with three rousing shooters, a remixed soundtrack, and all the frantic chaos fans remember. It’s a blast to play, but a few baffling technical tweaks keep this storm from striking with full force.

Panty Party Perfect is an entertaining action brawler about pairs of panties perpetually engaged in combat. The result feels like Virtual-On and looks like a Victoria’s Secret commercial. Yet with thin single-player content and a meager online community, this one's best enjoyed in chaotic bursts against some local friends.

Bean Beasts dishes up a flexible tower defense experience where prudent turret placement and frequent use of your Bean companions keep battles energetic. It can get punishing if you rush past the optional objectives, but it’s a satisfying strategy loop and a surprisingly effective UI meaning the TD should scout out these Beasts.

Galactic Vault can be a fun shooter that lets you grow into a walking arsenal across each mod-filled run. But in a genre packed with sharper, more inventive rivals, it feels like it should be your backup plan, rather than being your main heist.

Etrange Overlord turns a trip to the guillotine into a surprisingly charming tale about self-expression, sweets, and sticking it to authority. The combat and musical numbers don’t always hit their marks, but Lady von Rosenburg’s wit and the game’s playful rebellion make this worth savoring.

DigDigDrill is a laid-back loop that trades excitement for steady, satisfying progress. It’s repetitive by design, but if the relaxed rhythm hooks you, the gratification of incremental rewards can make the game hard to put down.

Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers brings back that satisfying, combo-heavy brawler feel. When it lands, it’s a blast. But between the wonky hit detection, repetition, and a bit of old-school clunk, expect patience to be tested alongside your reflexes.

Living Dead House feels like a lost ’80s arcade oddity with some clever survival ideas. But its slow movement speed and occasional cheap deaths keep it from becoming truly addictive. It’s more fun with a friend, but even with a partner, don’t expect it to dethrone the classics.

Go! Go! Mister Chickums is a welcome throwback that balances egg tossing simplicity with some smart stage design. The bosses may crack a bit too easily, but the overall package is a breezy and fun arcade-style romp.

ChainStaff might look like a retro throwback at first, but its clever mechanics and versatile weapon quickly prove it’s far more inventive than nostalgic. By limiting your arsenal to a single tool, Mommy’s Best delivers a surprisingly deep, fast-paced run-and-gun that rewards creativity and precision over brute force.

Sigma Star Saga DX still feels like a weirdly brilliant mashup, blending RPG exploration with customizable shoot-’em-up chaos in a way that’s just as fun as it was back in the day. The new quality-of-life upgrades make it easier to enjoy, even if a lack of boss battles and some pacing hiccups keep it from fully reaching its star potential.

Spica Adventure is a quirky, transitional gem that shows flashes of Taito’s creativity. Undeniably, Nico’s multi-purpose umbrella provides a few twists to traditional platforming. But despite its inventive moments and historical curiosity, it feels more like a competent experiment than one of yesteryear’s must play classics.
