I won't lie, I was a bit skeptical about this pack of games. Oh boy was I wrong to be! This is a great collection of modern arcade-style NES games. My favorite is Perfect Pair which is an adorable game a lot like Pac-man where you play cupid to a couple. It's too bad this pack doesn't have any reviews because it's one of Steam's best kept secrets. This is a rare gem, even a diamond in the rough. I highly recommend this collection, and I hope they put out more volumes. There are some unfortunate bugs, like in Perfect Pair sometimes you can complete a square and it doesn't register, making the level incompletable. And whenever the Steam overlay has popups it causes weird artifacts, at least for me. Personally, I prefer to play the games in other emulators (Mesen is packaged with it). The developer said you can rename the .dat files to .nes files (in the only discussion on the forums). So if the emulation isn't what you'd like, you can always take it over to Retroarch which is coming so...

User Reviews
If you were hesitant to get physical copies of these games this is your solution. A fair price for the convenience. Though I tend to gravitate towards Get'em Gary over other games included. As a side supporting these games supports easy homebrew development as Second Dimension also makes SecondBASIC and PXL Workshop.
