Before home video game consoles and personal computers, there were arcades that lured young players out with their games, and among those were the Tecmo gaming systems. These classics are now available for players at home with TECMO CLASSIC ARCADE by Tecmo for the Xbox. The eleven games included in this compilation are: TECMO BOWL, RYGAR, PLEIADS, SOLOMON'S KEY, BOMB JACK, SENJYO, PINBALL ACTION, STAR FORCE, SWIMMER, and STRATO FIGHTER. Now while most of these titles may not have been the most popular ones that were available back in the day, the sheer obscurity of them is something that may attract somewhat of a cult following among die hard arcade fans. One of the best features for fans of this bygone era is the fact that games are showcased with their original graphics and game play, giving players the feeling that they are right in the middle of the arcade. An added extra to these classics is the artwork that is included and user manuals in case the players aren't familiar with these rare titles. However, the best feature for those interested in purchasing TECMO CLASSIC ARCADE is the fact that they no longer have to pump quarters into a machine for hours on end in order to enjoy their favorite games. Fans wishing to reconnect with their misspent youth and younger players who want to know what those arcade games were all about will find the TECMO CLASSIC ARCADE collection a perfect compilation package.
