Remember how we told you to stay away from all of those NEO-GEO games that released on the Virtual Console these past weeks? Well, this is why: SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1. Within this disc, you'll find plenty of old-school SNK titles, which, when compared with their Virtual Console counterparts, fetch a much cheaper price of admission.This week's retail releases include:
- Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
- SNK Arcade Classics Vol.1
- Order Up
- Chess Crusade

SNK Arcade Classics Vol.1! Actually it was a gift for my recently passed brithday! Great games, great price, and cheaper than getting them on the VC plus it won't eat up your memory! I hope they do a Vol 2!! I'll never download a Neo Geo VC game again.

Yeah, I'll DEFINITELY be picking up SNK. I finally get to play Last Resort again! That game's been impossible for me to find in the arcades for the last 10 years! SNK always have a bunch of great 2 player games to waste the afternoon away with a buddy. I bought Ninja Combat on VC the other day (not in this collection) and went nuts on it for a few awesome hours. I haven't heard of lots of these games, but they look bitchin'.

P.S. WHEN THE HELL IS THE STRONG BAD GAME COMING OUT?! I thought it was coming out in early July, what the hell happened? Anyone have a firm release date on it? I'm getting kinda impatient to get my point-and-click on. Looking forward to Sam & Max too...

I'll be renting SNK Arcade Classics. I'm hoping, though not really expecting, that they fix the frameskip and slowdown issues present in the PS2 version.
