What players say
Excellently presented collection of early S.N.K. arcade titles spanning from 1979 to 1990. The museum is packed with historical information, art and documents. Games that were ported to the NES include those versions. Save states, a rewind feature, unlimited continues and adjustable settings soften the blow of some of the more unforgiving titles. Digital Eclipse does it again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ A Fantastic Retro Collection - But Missing a Few Classics! The SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is an absolute treat for retro gaming fans and history buffs alike. It's packed with beautifully preserved classics, offering both arcade and console versions, along with bonus features like rewind, save states, and museum content that dives deep into SNK's early years. The presentation is clean, the emulation is...
Achievements STILL do not work. Buggy/Slowed gameplay. Controls are odd on Xbox controller and no way to change. Very disappointing. Low-end emulation port with 8 year problems.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
