43 of 43 · most liked firstGodddd I worked my butt off finding supporting material for this stuff to use in SNK 40th Anniversary Collection and it didn't even cross my mind to look at patents! And for Fantasy too, probably my favorite "I got away with it" game to be included in the lineup.

unlabelledView post →Hey, SNK's back for Arcade Archives (Besides ACA NEOGEO)! I'd like to see more pre-Neo Geo games from them that aren't already in SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPzK...
unlabelledView post →Oh also the ACA port has better emulation than the one in the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. The name entry screen actually works in the North American version, in SNK 40th the letters are all invisible in that version. Also ACA has correct colors + BGM doesn't go mute after clearing a round.

unlabelledView post →I got a few games during the sale. I would have got more if this sale didn't fall on a rent check but it is what it is. Either way I'm really looking forward to playing Dragon Quest XI for the first time. Plus that SNK 40th Anniversary Collection has Crystalis in it. What did you get?
unlabelledView post →If you'd like an easy way to check out the original version however, pick up the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, where it is one of many great games featured. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gses...

unlabelledView post →It also conspicuously got passed up for rerelease on the Wii and Wii U virtual console services, although it did recently get one as part of the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection on all major platforms. Worth picking up just for that honestly.
unlabelledView post →Playing Street Smart from the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, and holy shit, this game is stupid in a good way. One-button restand infinites and lots of weird position-based infinites because when you hit an opponent in the air, they go into a grounded hitstun state
unlabelledView post →Now how come this didn't get a console release back in the early 90s? It didn't get a console release until we got the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection in 2019.
unlabelledView post →You got the NES version or the one in the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection in modern consoles?
unlabelledView post →Got a double-up for this week's archive dive. Back when the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection shipped, I though it'd be cool to see how some of the conversions to home micros would fare. The first part covers Athena, Psycho Soldier, TANK, Time Soldier & Guerilla War. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FndP...
unlabelledView post →(These are all available elsewhere, albeit not all on Switch 1- Ninja Gaiden III got a Console Archives release on PS5 and Switch 2, Ikari Warriors is on SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, R.C. Pro-Am II is on Rare Replay on Xbox One and Dragon Buster's on Namco Museum Archives Vol. 1)
unlabelledView post →For a runner-up, Crystalis is a fantastic action RPG and IMO the best game on the NES. You can at least get it as part of the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, but otherwise nothing has ever been done with it (aside from a bad GBC port).

unlabelledView post →I endured at, at the same time, enjoyed SNK 40th Anniversary Collection. Quick thoughts: Ozma Wars: decent Sasuke vs. Commander: decent Fantasy: good, impressive for the times (1981) Vanguard: decent, but more checkpoints would have been nicer Munch Mobile: bad [to be continued]
unlabelledView post →30-61. SNK 40th Anniversary Collection Despite not being much of a shooter person... or fighting person... I really enjoyed most of the games in this collection! Made liberal use of the rewind function. The museum stuff was cool and interesting as well. Games list in image alt text.

unlabelledView post →Game #43: Prehistoric Isle (Arcade) (Played via SNK 40th Anniversary Collection) Nice prehistoric SHMUP. Don't know what else to say tbh.
unlabelledView post →252. Beast Busters (via SNK 40th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION). Steam. THE most ridiculous lightgun shooter I've ever played. Zombies packing heat are the most normal things on screen at any given moment; shit needs to be seen to be believed. Controls are sadly dreadful w/analog. NEEDS a lightgun.
unlabelledView post →251. SAR: Search And Rescue (via SNK 40th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION). Steam. 1989/90 arcade shooter brimming w/gruesomely detailed 2D gore & then en vogue pseudo-Xenomorphs. Originally built w/rotary joysticks, which unfortunately does not translate terribly well to modern attempts to emulate them.
