Overview
Konami 80's Arcade Gallery (known in North America as Konami 80's AC Special) is an arcade game compilation developed and released by Konami for arcades (using PS1-based System 573 hardware) in both Japan and the United States on 1998.
It is a multi-game arcade release featuring 10 classic Konami arcade games (from the 1981 shoot-'em-ups Scramble and Super Cobra to the 1985 kung-fu games Yie Ar Kung-Fu and Shao-Lin's Road), all of which use the vertical screen orientation and simple two-button control scheme.
The game was later ported to the PlayStation in Japan on May 13, 1999 and in North America (as Konami Arcade Classics) on November 30, 1999. As normal TVs use a standard 4:3 format, all games were adjusted to fit the display (with the score and status parts moved to the side). Unlike most other compilations of the type (such as Namco Museum and Capcom Generations), there is no "tate mode" option.
