The first volume of an arcade anthology lines up a host of Capcom classics to revisit again and again. Chasing high scores, unlocking artwork and mastering each game fills long sessions. That density of content, paired with the lure of the score, guarantees a generous lifespan for arcade fans.

Is Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 1 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.
