Reception

Tecmo Classic Arcade scored fairly low due to the lack of the 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 other classic arcade collections.^{[1] [3]} GameSpot scored the game a 6/10 saying that the emulation is accurate but many of the titles aren't worth playing.^[4]
