Volume 2!! This is another awesome collection of games from the golden era of arcade! Many games here were made for NES and SNES, but now we get REAL arcade versions!

Each game looks wonderful and comes with history info, unlockable art, tips, cast, and music. You can adjust the screen, difficulty, etc.... Progress can be saved anytime during gameplay. Multiple players can play the shooter and brawler games together for more fun. These games really test your reflexes. Most games have beautiful graphics. The game designers' vivid imagination shines. I hope Capcom will make a volume 3 with Dark Stalkers.

Here are the machines:

1941:Counter Attack. A vertical shooter. You shoot up German WW2 planes, ships, vehicles, etc... Good game.

Avengers: A vertical brawler. Average game.

Black Tiger: A horizontal platformer similar to Ghosts 'n Goblins series. Medieval setting. Good game.

Block Block: A ping-pong game similar to Arcanoid(not sure of the spelling). Good game.

Captain Commando: A horizontal brawler similar to Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Final Fight. You can pick up cool guns, operate robots(similar to riding on beasts from Golden Axe). Enemy design could be better. Good game.

Eco Fighter: A zany horizontal shooter. Control is similar to Forgotten Worlds. Nice graphics. I think this game was never released in U.S. arcades because it speaks Japanese. Great game.

The King of Dragons: A horizontal brawler with mediveal setting. Some RPG elements because you level up various statistics. Bigger and better weapons/armors are acquired as you progress. Nice graphics. Great game.

Knights of The Round: A mediveal horizontal brawler. Bigger and better weapons/armors are acquired as you progress. Nice graphics. Great game.

Last Duel: A futuristic shooter. Decent game.

Magic Sword: A simple medieval horizontal brawler. You unlock jail doors to recruit fellow fighters that act like satellite. Good game.

Mega Twins: A cute cartoon horizontal platformer. I think this was never released in U.S. arcades. Great game.

Quiz & Dragons: A trivia game. Good game.

Side Arms: Hyper Dyne. A futuristic horizontal shooter. You control a jet pack wearing hero then combine with another jet suit for more cool fire power. Average game.

Street Fighter: The original fighter game. The original arcade machine have 2 big 'power' sensitive buttons, the hitting strength determined heavy, medium or light attack. You literally get a work-out playing this game. Funky control with cheesy yet funny voice actor. Good game.

Strider: A futuristic horizontal platformer. You control a futuristic Ninja with sword slash attack. Awesome graphics. Cool design. There are various spoken languages between levels, including Japanese, Russian and Chinese. I played this game on Genesis but Genesis version didn't have voice-overs, so the arcade version in this Capcom Classics Collection V2 is truly great. Superb game.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo: A fighter game. Similar to earlier Street Fighter II games with more characters like Cammy, Fei Long, T.Hawk, and Dee Jay. There is NO loading time between matches. Superb game.

The Speed Rumbler: A top-view driving shooter. You control a land vehicle. Horrible game.

Three Wonders: Its actually 3 games in one. Platform, shooter, and puzzle. The puzzle game is similar to Pengo, you push blocks to crush enemies. The horizontal platform and shooter games are great, the puzzle one decent.

Tiger Road: A horizontal brawler similar to Trojan. Medieval Far-East setting. Good game.

Varth: A futuristic vertical shooter. Good game.

This is a must buy for all REAL gamers. Old school gamers will absolutely love it. Thanks Capcom for making this game!

I own all of the classic compilations released for ps2 (Namco Museum,Taito Legends, Midway Arcade Treasures 1-3, Atari Anthology, Intellivison lives!, Sega Genesis Classics, Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1)...Hands down,Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2 is THE most entertaining and the most timeless, and definately the most fun. This game is worth a whole lot more than the release price. I recomend this game to anyone who shelled out countless quarters in arcades back in the 80' and 90's,..i promise, you'll be in arcade heaven. Don't let this one get away.

Black Tiger & Other Games from the Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2

My Daughter & I bought the Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2 because I wanted the Black Tiger game that I use to play during lunch at the local arcade in the Ohio Center in the Hyatt Regency in Columbus, OH when it first came out back in the 80's!

I could only find this game in the Ohio Center and I found one in an arcade on the River Walk in San Antonio, Texas near the Marriott Hotel.

The Ohio Center arcade removed the game because when a few of my friends became so good at Black Tiger that they could play for 1 quarter for 1.5 hours to win the game (which made it unprofitable for the arcade owner)! I and my friends were at the Ohio Center arcade when the arcade manager was removing the Black Tiger game from the arcade! The manager reported that Black Tiger was "most unprofitable game that he had ever had... even though it was the Most Profitable game in the beginning!"

One of my friends, Bob (who is Very Good with Computers and played Black Tiger Very Well), knew how sad and displeased I was when the game was removed that he remarked "in about 20 years you will probably be able to play Black Tiger at home on your TV! Bob was right!

I was Very Surprised and Very Happy : ) to find this game at Amazon.com and that a group of people in this world were intelligent enough to remember it so that I could order this game and share it with my 4 kids and their friends! Also, that we could play Black Tiger (and the other games) at our own learning level and pace!

My kids and their friends also find Black Tiger Very Challenging and like it Very Much! They also like the other games Very Much as well!

However, I will remain focused on Black Tiger until I can win the game by sluing all the dragons and be the Hero to rescue the princess and conquering all evil and restoring the Happy Glorious Kingdom!

Thank You Everybody for Your Fine Efforts who made this Possible!!! It is important to retain historic games for future generations so that they can understand more fully(i.e., or 3D) how the games, graphics, plots, and the technologies have developed and progressed to arrive to current and future games as well as to educate and entertain all of us (and future generations) in the future!!!

I have been playing video games since the atari 2600. Games have come such a long way but never forget the origin. These games bring back a lot of great memories. I know everyone love the first person shooters but I love the classic 2d games like these.

There has never been an arcade perfect port of any Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo edition on a console until now, most hardcore players have been waiting over 10 years for this. The sounds and music may have some defects, but the gameplay is indeed truly arcade perfect and a must have for ST players. Aside from that, there is a decent quiz game Quiz and Dragons, I heard it was updated with new questions by Sirlin. Overall, its a great value considering that you get many games for a low price.

Black Tiger,Strider and 18 more Capcom classics on one disc!!! Wow!!!

Unlike Capcom's Vol. 1 edition jam-packed with popular nostalgic arcades of the early 90's era, Vol. 2 comes across as a bland collection. Skim through the manual at list of classics, only a seldom few will seem recognizable.

That idea may suck how many those are supposed to be classic are unknown. The good part is most of these games you never even played yet even heard of are actually quite fun. There are twenty unique 90's era games off the title menu to choose from. Anybody can ease right into any game because the interface is intuitive enough for your grandmother to play without needing advice. One critical downside, the playstation 2 controller can be a strain on the hands when attempting to get accurate movement of your game character.

More important you may be surprised by the longevity with some of these classics as hours run off your day. Therefore, this collection will take its toll on your fingers as well.

There are some very cool features in this collection and one worth noting is infinite game play. That bonus allows unskilled gamers or those who rather burn through levels to join right in the explosive 2D action. The unveiled, refined graphics shine, but as for the music don't expect an update because Capcom kept the original sound intact and that's good news for retro fans that may remember what they played in the past decade.

Super StreetFighter is way too difficult!

This is a great collection of games, like the first Capcom classics collection. The game I really was looking forward to playing was super street fighter, and holy crap its difficult to beat the computer even on the easiest setting. However, I'm sure the game is fun against a human opponent. The best games I saw on the disk were Captain Commando, Knights of the Round, King of Dragons, Magic Sword, and Quiz and Dragons. The Knights of round and King of Dragons are like Sega's golden axe.

In sum I'm dissapointed about the super street fighter, but I'm still satisfied with my purchase, because I got the game on sale for 10 dollars at Target on black friday

Not as good as the first volume, but there's still some great games here

Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2 follows up the excellent first volume of retro games, and while the results aren't as great as the games in the first volume, there are still some great old games here to play. First off noting, we finally get perfect ports of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Strider; both of which are still a blast to play even to this day, and are worth the price of admission alone. A few other games, including 1941, Captain Commando, Three Wonders, Side Arms, Block Block, and Mega Twins are all solid as well. The original Street Fighter is here too, and it's still as frustrating as you remember it, but to me it seems a bit jumpy and the controls are a little clunky to boot. A few other games, including Avengers, Quiz & Dragons, and Speed Rumbler, weren't anything to write home about them, and they still aren't now. While this is a solid package overall, there's a few glaring omissions that you'd think Capcom would've packed in here. Still no Darkstalkers, and even an underrated and overlooked game like Red Earth would've been welcome here. Oh well, maybe there'll be another Capcom Classics volume down the line. And if it's half as good as Volume's 1 and 2, it'll be more than welcome.
