Pretty impressive, but missing key titles

I really liked this new classics game. Contra and Gradius are probably the best games on there. I sometimes forget how hard some of those old-school games can be. Time Pilot and Yie Ar Kung Fu are great classics from the mid 80s. Yie Ar Kung Fu definitely could be viewed as the grand-dad of Street Fighter, so kudos to Konami.

I would have liked to see Super Contra and Ninja Turtles instead of some of the filler games like Pooyan and Basketball. Basketball is absolutely horrible, I don't think the developers actually understood the game of basketball.

If you are not a retro gamer, you will not enjoy this gamepak much. But for those of us who grew up in the 80s, this is a great way to relive those old-school games.
