If you've ever wasted time in a video arcade back in the 80's, then chances are you've played more than 1/2 of the games featured on this disk. A real trip down memory lane. I would have liked to see the atari 2600 version of some of these, because the atari version would have been easier to play. Plus, spy hunter is a great game, but the arcade version had the 'tv' set vertically instead of horizontally like a normal tv. Which gave you more time to react. That little flaw aside, this title gives a tremendous blast from the past. A good test of reaction times and eye hand coordination. Had to figure out that I needed to change the location of the controller for gauntlet and rampage so that I could play other characters. This game also features game histories and developer interviews which weren't really that important to me, but nice to check out from time to time. For something that was more or less an impulse buy on my part, I was pleased with this purchase.Read full review
I would love to give this game a perfect score of 5 out of 5. However I had to reduce the score due to saving to the memory card issue. I loved reliving the perfect arcade games of my times like Spy Hunter, Smash TV, And rampage. However both Rampage and Smash TV takes a while to deafeat them. You cannot save your progess during the game, you either have to sit there and finish the game, or just give up. Another problem is from the controller. For games Like Robrotron & Smash tv, a second joy stick would have been helpful, because you move your character with the Left joy stick, and shoot the bad guys by moving the right joystick to the direction you want to fire at. Now lets get to the price. 20 games for $19.99, How in the world can you beat that price. This comes in as my third fav. choice for a collection of games. My first being Midway Arcade Treasures 2, Activision 30 games classic for the PS1.Read full review
Some of the funnest games ever made by Midway are included on this Gamecube disc. The best experience you can have playing it is with two or three other players depending on the game. Three player games include such classics like Super Sprint, Rampage and one of my personal favorites, Rampart which is a competetive strategy-base game similar to Tetris. Gauntlet is the only four-player cooperative game included but of course is a lot of fun to play. Although all the games are multi-player, they can however be played along with the other 22 classic games in single-player mode which includes Paper Boy, Spy Hunter, Defender and many more. This is certainly a must-have for the coin-operated arcade enthusiast and the future fan alike that will no doubt supply countless hours of game play.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Only thing that this package really needs is to be available on a more modern platform. The newer, similarly titled remakes are inferior.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The games are as much fun to play as ever. There are lots of titles, but my faves Gauntlet and Smash TV play just like they did in arcades on a Wii, if you have the gamecube controllers.
