Compare Konami Arcade Classics for PlayStation 1 to Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo for PlayStation 1

Konami has jumped on the classic-gaming bandwagon with a collection of its old arcade titles. The collection is a relatively low-frills compilation, but the quality of the games more than makes up for a deficiency in the history department. Most of the games in this collection are standouts. Who can forget great games like Yie Ar Kung Fu, Time Pilot, Scramble, Super Cobra, and Gyruss? The collection also includes some slightly lesser-known games, namely Pooyan, Circus Charlie, Shao-Lin's Road, Roc 'N Rope, and Road Fighter. All the games control very well, giving you the option of using the digital pad or the analog stick, though considering that all of these games used digital control in the arcade, there's no real advantage to using the analog control. The games make pretty good use of the vibration feature on the Dual Shock pad, which is a nice update that doesn't get in the way of the retro experience. Less

If you think puzzle games need an infusion of action from the STREET FIGHTER universe, then you should go and get a copy of SUPER PUZZLE FIGHTER II TURBO. You can pick a character from the STREET FIGHTER games like Ryu, Ken, and Chun Li. After picking a character, you will have to arrange blocks in a bin such that like-colored blocks form rectangles and squares of at least four blocks. Eventually, a crash crystal will drop allowing you to eliminate some of the crystals. If you plan ahead, you can create chain reactions that will make your life a lot easier. When you get rid of a group of crystals, they are placed into your opponent's bin, and when someone's bin is full, the game is over. If you are looking for a cross between STREET FIGHTER and a puzzle game, SUPER PUZZLE FIGHTER II TURBO is exactly what you need. Less
