"Nintendo's Wii has already received its share of Neo-Geo games through its Virtual Console service. However, SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 offers a better deal. Rather than buying each game separately for 900 points ($9) a pop, you can throw down $30 and get 16 games.
Inside, this compilation has a little something for everyone. Adventure fans should enjoy Top Hunter and Magician Lord. Sports fanatics can swing for the fences in Baseball Stars 2 and score goals in Super Sidekicks 3. Fighting fans, on the other hand, should love pounding their knuckles into Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting and World Heroes. As for shooter fans, the pack comes stacked with Shock Troopers, Metal Slug and Last Resort. Other games including Neo Turf Masters, King of the Monsters, Samurai Showdown and the King of Fighters '94 are also available."
In the first episode of Let's Play Arcade, we review Street Smart by SNK. Street Smart is a co-op fighting / beat-em up game that was released in 1989. It was later ported to the Sega Master System in 1991. Players must fight two computer opponents in order to win the affection of young women. At the end of each match, you must fight your partner to decide who will get the woman as their prize.
Carl Williams writes, "It is a rule of gaming, when one game is a hit, there must be a sequel to capitalize and cannabalize sales. SNK was no different in this regard as their unstopped rampage through fighting games on the Neo Geo system attested- as the system went on, fewer and fewer original games were released as sequel fever took over. King of the Monsters was popular enough to spawn one sequel, King of the Monsters 2: The Next Thing. King of the Monsters 2 was not perfect, neither was the original. What it set out to do though, it did well."
Carl Williams writes, "The Neo Geo was known for great arcade games that catered to many gamer tastes, at least early on. There were racing, fighting, action and adventure games available on this SNK arcade behemoth, that is before fighting games really took off. One such action game, Top Hunter, borrowed a little from the Fatal Fury fighting games and some from the Mario series from Nintendo and created a unique experience that, sadly, was only one game and not a series."
