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.{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/games/tecmo-classic-arcade/xbox-743958|title=Tecmo Classic Arcade (Xbox)|website=IGN|accessdate=January 15, 2018|archive-date=January 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180116093023/http://www.ign.com/games/tecmo-classic-arcade/xbox-743958|url-status=live}} GameSpot scored the game a 6/10 saying that the emulation is accurate but many of the titles aren't worth playing.{{cite web| url =http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/tecmo-classic-arcade-review/1900-6133893/| title =Tecmo Classic Arcade Review| publisher =gamespot.com| accessdate =June 28, 2014| archive-date =January 16, 2018| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20180116140142/https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/tecmo-classic-arcade-review/1900-6133893/| url-status =live}}
