Arcade Archives TOKYO WARS

"TOKYO WARS" is an action shooter released by NAMCO LIMITED (current Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.) in 1996.
Join the tank unit of the Green force or the White force and engage in battle through realistic city streets.
Destroy or be destroyed—the war for Tokyo begins now!

The "Arcade Archives" series has faithfully reproduced many classic Arcade masterpieces.
Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores.
Please enjoy the masterpieces that built a generation for video games.

 
Looks fun and like it definitely inspired Sega's Alien Front years later (I prefer the kinda slower, somewhat more realistic pace of this one, at least in videos). Though Sega did have Desert Tank first (solo play). Is there no online multiplayer as they mention competing for "high scores", not in matches?

Someone slap Hamster around with all the money Jap devs/pubs have made on PC for me please.

Have been meaning to ask, how are these Arcade archives ports ? Is the emulation good ? Are there any extras like screen ratio options, scanlines and texture filtering when it comes to the 3D titles ?

Edit : how the heck am I suppose to search for them/filter them out on the PS store ? If you search for "arcade archives" there's only a handful that appear and not the whole catalogue...

Here's the info. I've bought some Arcade Archives ports on the Switch back in the day. I think they're solid ports, very good. Can't answer for the extras though as my memory fails me.

Hamster is the company. My opinion of them is they are very respectable.
 
These ports are excellent, but the price is steep and they won't ever go on sale. I bought RR and Ace Combat, but skipped the rest. I'd probably only buy Rave Racer, Ace Driver and Cyber Commando. Alpine Racer 2 would be fun for nostalgia.
