Reviews
- The collection offers excellent emulation quality with extra features like save states, autofire, and arranged soundtracks which enhance nostalgia and gameplay.
- Night Striker is a standout title, praised for being an impressive and fun arcade port with a remixed soundtrack and engaging gameplay.
- The light gun shooters, especially Space Gun, Operation Wolf, and Operation Thunderbolt, provide enjoyable and entertaining arcade-style gameplay, with added options and multiplayer support.
- The collection has major controller compatibility issues, especially with modern light guns and gamepads due to auto-centering and lack of proper input support.
- The user interface and menu navigation are poorly designed and confusing, with awkward keyboard mappings and inconvenient fullscreen/windowed mode handling.
- The pricing and DLC structure are considered too high and greedy by some, particularly because console versions are sold separately and are weaker ports.

“The extra music included is some of the best in recent years from Taito sound team Zuntata.”
“Beautiful package with lots of options and care, recommended for fans of the featured games or Zuntata music.”
“Night Striker is one of the finest arcade games of the 80s and that alone is well worth the price of admission here; it even features a new soundtrack.”
“The remixed songs (like "Urban Trail") clearly aren't the same ones that are going to be used in the forthcoming Night Striker Gear sequel, unless that will be an extra music option.”
