Hudson Best Collection Vol. 1 is a little time capsule of classic Hudson Soft games packed into a GBA cart. It’s got a mix of old-school action and puzzle stuff—some you might recognize, others feel like deep cuts. The controls are simple, but a few of these games will still wreck you if you’re not careful.

First thing you’ll notice? The caravan mode—basically short, intense score attacks that were huge in Japanese arcades back in the day. Perfect for quick sessions, though some of the high scores feel downright impossible. The pixel art holds up surprisingly well on the small screen, even if the music loops get stuck in your head for hours.

If you’re into retro compilations, this one’s got charm, even if it’s not the flashiest collection out there. Just don’t expect any fancy remasters—it’s pure, unfiltered 80s/90s arcade vibes.
