Konami Arcade Collection

Fifteen retro games from the 1980s are collected in one lil' game card for the NDS. An emulator runs the original coin-op code and the games all run at original speed which is somewhat impressive for the NDS. Games are selected from a wheel which scrolls with the tug of the d-pad. Notable classics include: Pooyan, Circus Charlie, Contra, Time Pilot, Scramble, Rush'n Attack, and Gradius.
Additional features include the option to play the games in vertical or horizontal aspect mode and wireless play where players may go head-to-head against another retro gaming fan. The multi-player function allowa two gamers to play with only one copy of the game. Finally, a Jukebox which contains music tracks from the fifteen games plays old time tunes.
