These arcade titles made in the 80s do not do much for me, not on the base-level experience of games to pick up and play in 2024. There's a huge selection but they're by and large primitive relics rather than timeless mainstays. (That said, there's some classic SNK weirdness showcased here. I cannot fully comprehend Munch Mobile or the rationale that led to its existence.)
What really earns the high 3.5/5 here is the presentation, which is the most curated-with-care I've ever seen in a collection like this. Games are available in multiple regions, with the occasional console port. There's a "watch" feature that lets you sit back for a longplay video. The museum section has a nice selection of arcade and magazine ephemera as well as soundtracks and a sort of text-based guided tour of the first twelve years of the company's entire release catalog.
