Vendetta or we riot
The Australian ratings board has recently classified something calledKonami 50th Anniversary Collection: Arcade Classics, giving it a “PG” rating for “Mild supernatural themes and violence.”
Konami had a stranglehold on the arcade scene during its amazing ’80s/’90s resurgence, pumping out great games such as theCrime Fighterstrilogy,Sunset Riders, TMNT, Mystic Warriors, Contra, Frogger, Aliens, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Bucky O’ Hareand oodles of others, all of which stole hundreds of pounds of my allowance over the years.
Whether any of these titles (particularly the problematic licenced games such asThe SimpsonsandWild West C.O.W. Boys) are headed to this compilation remains to be seen, but hopefully we’ll get more info on this mysterious release soon. You can look a little more into Konami’s home console historywith this article from our own Adzuken.
