Two 1980s SNK classics hit PSN: Chopper I, The Next Space

SNK adds two more of their Arcade Classics to the PlayStation Network today: Chopper I and The Next Space.  I've never heard of either, but I love that there's a game called The Next Space.

These both come from the golden arcade age in the late 1980's, with vertical copter shooter Chopper I from 1988 and space shmup The Next Space from a year later.

With The Next Space's great name and the dude from the image Chopper I (middle) looking like he has mad swag, you can OK about spending the $2.99 asking price for each. Both are available today on the PlayStation Store as PS Minis for both PSP and PS3.

"PS Minis for both PSP and PS3"
AND Vita, right? or are they going to keep screwing up?
Doesn't $2.99 seem a bit pricey for a pair of games that no one cared about 24 years ago, much less now?
so how about KOFXI, KOF98UM, KOF2002UM, The Last Blade Series, Samurai Shodown I-VI, World Heroes/

Come on SNK!!!!!!!

Zaxxon Escape is out now on Google Play

Angry Birds Star Wars sounds like what you would expect
