![]() There were a couple of times during my Street Fighter games that the animation suffered from a bit of slowdown, but it wasn't too distracting, and nothing I hadn't experienced when playing the full-sized arcade versions. Games like Commando and Legendary Wings never show the slightest signs of flicker regardless of how much is happening on the screen at any given time. Even so, Digital Eclipse has done a remarkable job faithfully re-creating the sights and sounds of the originals. Considering the most recent game in Capcom Classics is still more than a decade old, players shouldn't be expecting top-of-the-line graphics and sound from any of the titles included on the disc. But overall, players will easily lose themselves in the memories of dropping rolls of quarters into these arcade machines. In some cases, like with Bionic Commando, this experience is vastly different than the home console versions some players may be used to. Digital Eclipse and Capcom have gone out of their way to give players an experience as close to the original as possible. With the exception of Super Ghouls n' Ghosts (a SNES release), every game is a direct port of its arcade version. And that only covers half of the games included in this mix. The most notable of these include all three arcade versions of the original Street Fighter II ( SFII, SFII Championship, and SFII Hyper), all three games in the Ghosts n' Goblins trilogy, Forgotten Worlds, 1942, 1943 (and the updated 1943 Kai), and the granddaddy of all arcade beat-'em-ups, Final Fight. Capcom Classics serves up a veritable buffet of arcade hits in its debut volume. In any compilation disc, the real meat and potatoes lie with its choice of included games. Throw in some extra bonus material for good measure and what you're left with is one of the best collections of gaming nostalgia to date. Capcom's collection includes more hits than misses, though, and even the worst of the included games still manage to still be a least somewhat entertaining. As with many compilations of this type, the selection of games in Capcom Classics range from A-List classics to C-List forgettables. Capcom Classics brings together twenty-two of the company's hit games from the mid-'80s through the early '90s. Now it's Capcom's turn to hop on the bandwagon with the release more than twenty of the company's old-school games, courtesy of the Capcom Classics Collection compilation. ![]() Twenty years later, video-game publishers are revisiting this golden age of gaming by releasing various compilations of their greatest hits. It was during this decade that the video-game industry really made its mark. ![]()
