Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced
video game collection
Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced, known in Japan as Konami Arcade Game Collection and in Europe as Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Classics, is a compilation video game developed and published by Konami in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance. The anthology features enhanced remakes of six of the company's popular arcade games from the 1980s. In addition to updated visuals, the title took advantage of the handheld console's Game Link Cable to provide multiplayer modes for several of the games.
Development lasted six months and was led by Minoru Toyota. Challenges during the process included converting the visuals to a screen size different from the original arcades' hardware and reducing the game's file size enough to implement single-cartridge multiplayer. Plug and play versions were released later in 2004 and 2006.
The compilation received an overall positive response from video game publications. Praise focused on the accurate reproduction of the arcade games, the nostaglia of the tiles, and the added value of the enhanced features. A common criticism was the dated audiovisuals when compared to modern games.
