Play Konami Arcade Game Collection Online

Konami Arcade Game Collection came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2006, published by Konami itself. It was part of that wave of retro compilations that let you carry a piece of the arcade in your pocket. This one gathers a few of their early 80s hits into a single cartridge.

You control different characters across the included games, like the frog in Frogger trying to cross busy roads and rivers, or the ship in Time Pilot navigating through waves of enemy aircraft. The main objective is simply to survive and score as many points as you can, often by clearing screens of enemies or navigating through hazardous stages. Signature mechanics include the methodical, lane-by-lane planning of Frogger and the 360-degree free-roaming combat in Time Pilot where you can attack in any direction. The pacing is generally fast, and the difficulty is unrelenting, true to its arcade origins. Playing it feels like a direct, sometimes brutal, conversation with gaming history.
