New Retro Arcade: Neon is hands down one of the best and most unique titles I have come across in my time with my Vive.
NRA:N is allows you to take a blast to the past and plugs you directly into a high end aracade from the late 80's/ early 90's. From there you can play from 30 arcade cabinets, 18 console cartridges, and 10 handheld games from your childhood. When you're done spending hours in your favorite arcade games there's also skeeball, bowling, hoops, air hocket, and a custom movie theatre. Do it all alone or jump online and play with friends. This game has it all.

The game does asks a bit more from it's consumer, requiring you to download the ROM files, artwork, videos, controller schemes, etc. yourself (to avoid legal issues on their end), but once you take the time to fill the cabinets and cartridges with your library of classic games you have yourself an amazing nostaligia trip that no other form of media can provide.

The first time I got NRA:N loaded up and ready to go I spent 3 hours straight in there playing classic games from my childhood like Mortal Kombat, Time Crisis, Donkey Kong Country, Street Fighter 2, and so much more. To me nothing could beat that feeling of being a kid again and spending hours in an arcade.

NRA:N has now become one of my go-to games for demoing the Vive right alongside theBlu, Old Friend, and the Lab.
You cannot go wrong with this title. The time I spent into getting all the ROMs, artwork, controls, etc. was definitely tedious, but was well worth it in the end. Beautiful and polished graphics and lighting, bumping 80's like techno music, and hours of custom made content makes New Retro Arcade: Neon a must have for any 80's or 90's kid.
