Super Technos World: River City & Technos Arcade Classics Reviews

This collection of Technōs Japan’s iconic titles feels less like a simple re-release and more like an emotional restoration for those who remember the era. From the controls to the sound and the texture of the pixel art, the sensations of that time are preserved with remarkable fidelity. Compared to modern games, it can feel quite unforgiving—but in that very way, it brings us closer to the spirit of its original age. While there are some shortcomings in its overall presentation, the fact that these games are being reintroduced at all is a meaningful gesture in itself.

All things considered, Super Technos World: River City & Technos Arcade Classics is a work clearly aimed at the more "vintage" gamers, those who feel a strong attachment to the included titles and wish to relive the emotions and sensations they experienced as children or teenagers. Younger players are unlikely to appreciate such a product, which is a real shame, as it could have been a great opportunity to teach a bit of video game history, if only they had made the effort to include some meaningful extras.
