One of Capcom's best-ever side-scrolling beat 'em ups, 1991's King Arthur-themed Knights of the Round, is pretty much a must for this release, so don't delay on that one (unless you already have it, as it was on the Beat 'Em Up Bundle). While many games here can be swapped from Western to Japanese ROMs, sometimes switching titles and storylines, the Puyo Puyo-like puzzler Pnickies is only in Japanese, making its game selection menu confusing for non-readers, so be aware of that before you click the download button. There are, indeed, bees and other bugs in it, and all must be destroyed. Saturday Night Slam Masters / Credit: CapcomĪway from one-on-one showdowns, Arcade 2nd Stadium’s shooters include 1994’s beautiful Eco Fighters, which plays from left to right, and the rather more primitive-looking Savage Bees, a vertical affair known as Exed Exes in Japan and dating from 1985. It supports up to four players locally, and amongst the playable characters is a certain Mike Haggar, shirking his Metro City responsibilities. Tsk. Saturday Night Slam Masters is a simple but scintillating wrestling-styled beat ‘em up from 1993 which pits an assortment of typically colourful sports entertainers against one another, victory only coming with a successful pin. It's tough but will keep you coming back for another crack, and another, and another. From 1985, Gun.Smoke is a great Wild West-themed vertical shooter in the vein of Capcom's later Mercs which sees bad guys pop out from windows to take potshots at your ten-gallon-hatted hero, and other enemies lob dynamite in your direction. The lineup of games here doesn’t feel quite as consistently brilliant as the previous Arcade Stadium selection, but there’s still a whole lot of excellence on show - and besides, the beauty of this thing is you can just download the games you want, and leave the rest untouched.
