Taito's 80's arcade hits hit back! Four milestones of the 80s arcade movement in one action-packed compilation!
+2
- Excellent emulation and added quality of life features such as save states, autofire, and difficulty adjustments enhance the gameplay experience.
- Strong lineup of classic Taito arcade games with faithful ports, especially Night Striker which includes a new soundtrack and is regarded as a standout title.
- Mouse controls work well for playing light gun games when a traditional light gun is not available, making the collection accessible to many players.
- Lack of support for modern light guns with absolute positioning seriously hampers the intended arcade experience for many players.
- Auto-centering control in Night Striker is a major issue that frustrates players used to free control; no option to disable it lowers playability on standard controllers.
- The game launcher and interface have usability problems such as starting in windowed mode by default, confusing menu navigation, and limited keyboard remapping options.

The music aspect is praised for its high-quality, thoughtfully arranged soundtracks, especially the remixed and alternative OST for Night Striker, which enhances the classic arcade experience. Fans appreciate the care taken in offering multiple music options, although some tracks from other titles are seen as downgraded compared to originals. Overall, the soundtrack is a highlight for enthusiasts of Zuntata music and retro arcade games.
“Beautiful package with lots of options and care, recommended for fans of the featured games or Zuntata music.”
“Great games, given that extra M2 treatment and an alternative OST for Night Striker.”
“Night Striker is one of the finest arcade games of the 80s and that alone is well worth the price of admission here; it's a wonderful game and a wonderful port, and it even features a new soundtrack.”
“Also, 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).”
