SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 is a video game compilation created and published by SNK Playmore which includes sixteen Neo Geo games.

The compilation was released on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and the Wii.[1] The Australian PAL PS2 release is the only release of the compilation available in Australia, PSP and Wii versions are not yet available locally.

A follow-up has been announced in Japan titled SNK Arcade Classics 0. The reason for the title having a "0" is because the titles in this collection were introduced before the Neo Geo was established.

Between the three versions, the Wii version is considered the definitive one. The PS2 and PSP versions had considerable amounts of slowdown (especially with Shock Troopers on the PSP), compared to the slowdown-free Wii version.[2] The Wii version also supported 480p and 4 different control schemes.
