The old arcade 2D games had a high variety in the past, but due to the popularity of home consoles, they gradually lost their place and importance to a large extent. Recently, a collection of some of those old games named Visco Collection has been released to the market to attract fans of retro games.
When dealing with the Visco Collection, the first thing that comes to mind is the limited number of its games. Visco company produced several games for arcade platforms during its lifetime, but there are only seven titles in this game. In addition, these seven games are not very diverse in terms of gameplay. The official description of Visco Collection’s seven games is as follows:
Andro Dunos: Blast through space in a side-scrolling shoot ’em-up adventure, facing off against swarms of alien foes and enormous bosses. With fast-paced action and impressive visuals, it’s a classic that will test your skills and reflexes.
Bang Bead: Get ready for intense one-on-one battles in this addictive arcade-style fighting game. Choose your favorite character and engage in epic showdowns, mastering various moves and combos to claim victory.
Captain Tomaday: Take control of the titular hero, Captain Tomaday, in a quirky and challenging shooter. Transform into different forms to navigate bizarre levels and defeat eccentric enemies in this unique and fun-filled adventure.
FlipShot: Challenge your friends or AI opponents to a thrilling futuristic pinball game. With a variety of tables and physics-defying action, FlipShot offers a fresh twist on the classic pinball experience.
Ganryu: Assume the role of either Musashi or Suzume on a journey to defeat a resurrected Kojirō and his legion of evil ninjas and monsters terrorizing Kyoto.
Goal! Goal! Goal!: Experience the excitement of soccer in this fast-paced, arcade-style sports game. Choose your team and compete in exhilarating matches, scoring goals and making epic plays to win the championship.
Neo DriftOut: Get behind the wheel of high-speed rally cars and drift your way to victory in this thrilling racing game. Navigate challenging courses, master the art of drifting, and compete against other skilled drivers to prove your supremacy on the track.
Regardless of the publisher’s glorified explanations, it must be accepted that these games are a bunch of old titles with common problems of the 2D era, so you have to have patience to play them. Fortunately, things like the ability to save and load, various image filters, online multiplayer, and responsive controls make the Visco Collection acceptable.
Finally, even though the games in this collection are not very famous and their number is tiny, the Visco Collection can still be recommended to retro lovers. I liked Andro Dunos and Neo DriftOut more than the other five games because of their smooth and exciting gameplay, and it is recommended that you try them too.
