Difficulty levels can be chosen in the options
Nostalgia
CONS
Not a lot of variety in genres (mostly fighting games)
Mixed bag of quality and fun to play
Some games need to exit completely out of compilation to choose another game
Inconsistent controls (some games control well, others not so much)
May appeal only to those who owned a NeoGeo Pocket Color
Overall, not a bad little collection, but your enjoyment may stem more from nostalgia if you owned the console. The lack of variety of genres also may be a turn off to some, though if you love fighting games you’ll be satisfied. Games can be a mixed bag, and how much gameplay one gets out of the compilation will again depend on their nostalgia factor.
