Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits

15 arcade machines crammed onto your DS - that's history you'll want to study

Everything looks exactly as you remember it, and if the game had adjustable difficulty or other options in the real world, it’ll have them here, too. Naturally though, some games don’t fare as well as others. Ever played Track & Field? It was the original button-masher. Try hammering the DS buttons the way you did the arcade machine. And if you think Gradius is tough already, wait until you try it on a tiny screen, where the paths between bullets are itty-bitty. There’s good stuff here (especially for what, two bucks a game?), but sometimes not even modern hardware can recreate the past very well.
