The compilation, which is available on Steam for $22.49, has received high praise from critics, with Edge giving it a 9/10 and Eurogamer awarding it 5/5. Each game in the collection has its own unique identity while contributing to the overall theme. The games are designed to evoke nostalgia for the 1980s gaming era, despite being newly created, and are described as NES hard.

Players have expressed a desire for a console version.
