When I was 10 years old, I remember going on a road trip, I had brought my 3DS with me to kill time. My dad let me go to a game store and pick one out, I remember seeing this game, Old Skool Classics, I got Tomodachi Life instead. The game has been in the back of my mind for years now. I tried searching for it, but I can't find a ROM or cartridge. I made this account to spread the word. CAN WE FIND OLD SKOOL CLASSICS!

Old Skool Classics seems to be a poorly-documented compilation game for the 3DS released in 2011, published by Storm City Games and developed by Visual Impact.
Archive.org has a couple of captures of the original Nintendo store listing, but the listing lacks any sort of screenshots.

I was able to grab the box-art, and linked the archive page.

Besides that I couldn't personally find footage, gameplay, or even an ebay listing. Perhaps more digging can be done but its a start.

I did find a giantbomb listing that has some screenshots and descriptions for some of the games listed

Did some cursory googling for this and found screenshots on MobyGames and Nintendo-x2. Google Images showed a Europe released game called "Arcade Classics 3D" that looks 100% identical except for 1 missing game. It's up on plenty of ROM sites. Seems like this was a failed North American port of the title.
