Reception
Tecmo Classic Arcade scored fairly low due to the lack of more important Tecmo games. IGN scored the game a 4.8/10 saying that it doesn't have enough games, lacks fun, and costs more than more other classic arcade collections.[1] GameSpot scored the game a 6/10 saying that the emulation is spot-on but many of the titles aren't worth playing.[3]
