I dig it! A really fun collection of games that kinda sorta nails the aesthetic of the years the fictional games were supposedly released in. Although as a child of the era, this would be a VERY powerful piece of hardware for the mid '80s! :)

I still haven't narrowed down the games I really want to focus on...there's just so much goodness here. I really wish there was a way to bookmark the games you like best.

Valfaris' unique visual style continues in a slick shoot 'em up package. This is the perfect Steam Deck game, BTW. The wild color scheme REALLY pops on the new OLED screen!

This game is a straight up classic. I loved it on the PSP and sort of rediscovered it on my OLED Steam Deck even though I've had it in my Steam library for ages. HIGHLY recommended. And runs perfectly on Steam Deck!

I quite like this game--it's a pretty genius deck builder. I will say it's BRUTALLY difficult. But something keeps me coming back. I dig it!

This game expands upon the wild graphical style of the original as a unique scrolling shooter.

Probably my favorite take on the Survivors genre. It's a completely unique take, mixing Space Invaders or Galaga with the upgrade tree / random drop system from Vampire Survivors. Plus it looks great and is EXTREMELY polished. This is very addicting and quite fun!

I was a huge fan of the original Slayin on mobile 10 or so years ago--so I was surprised and delighted to discover there's a sequel on Steam! From my quick first impressions, I really like it. It's quite a bit more complex than the original mobile game--which is fitting given the platform. It also works perfectly on Steam Deck, not sure why it's not verified yet. This game is great, and an absolute steal at this price. Get it!

This is a really unique shooter that I totally overlooked in the Saturn era. I remember seeing it for sale in import shops but never quite got around to trying it. It's challenging, looks great, and has a really unique control scheme. Now I wish I really played it back when it game out--hey, you've got to live with regrets.

I really wish these Saturn Tribute titles had better emulation performance--but so far this series is all we've got when it comes to Saturn revival titles. So, I'll take it.

Absolutely brilliant collection of games. It's worth the price just to play the original Darius in its three-screen aspect ratio on an ultrawide monitor. Everything else is just a bonus. The inclusion of Darius Gaiden, one of my all time favorite shooters, is much appreciated. My only problem is why isn't the three-screen version of Darius II included?

Also--sure it's unrelated, but it would be cool to be able to buy Ninjawarriors in its three-screen aspect ratio as DLC.

A Golden Axe homage with Chimpunks? Sign me up!

It's a bit repetitive--but then so is the source material.
