Is Capcom Classics Collection still worth playing in 2026?
A Capcom compilation, Capcom Classics Collection gathers a vast selection of the publisher's arcade classics, from shooters to beat 'em ups and fighting games, faithfully emulated with art galleries and configuration options. The richness of the catalogue, from 1942 to Ghouls'n Ghosts, and the quality of the emulation make it an ideal anthology to rediscover Capcom's golden age. The absence of online leaderboards and some very old titles divide. An excellent collection for fans of retro arcade and gaming heritage on PS2.
