Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, Intel HD Graphics 4400 (VRAM 128MB), 297 MB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
It has been discounted 49 times in the 8 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 75 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 82 percent. Distant Space ($0.49, scores 62) outscores it, and so does Contra Anniversary Collection ($19.99, scores 34). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Very good arcade collection! Switch to older version of Proton: 6.3-8. Tested and working on my PC.

Okay... These arcade games ARE old, but they shaped the landscape of modern gaming in ways you can't even imagine. These machines ate more quarters than a hot slot straight out of Las Vegas, and with good reason. For their time, they were revolutionary, and should be experienced in my opinion. Try for yourself, and you judge...
Just download them for free. Konami is just trying to milk us for money. I got this really cheap but it's still underwelming unfortunately.
