A number of titles have been released for various systems allowing people to play older, "classic" games on newer systems. However, none of them have offered as many games in one package as Midway Arcade Treasures does - 24 games spanning a good portion of the 1980's are present on this disc.Some of the titles here were rather obscure at the time, such as Blaster, Splat!, and Satan's Hollow. Others are key games that altered the path of the industry, such as Defender, Robotron: 2084, and Gauntlet. But they all are reproduced in their full arcade glory, allowing players familiar with the games to enjoy them again, and new players can see games responsible for making gaming what it is today. Some of the games here just aren't all that much fun anymore. Satan's Hollow, for example, just doesn't have gameplay that really stands up to the test of time.

The only game on this collection that I played extensively in the arcades is Smash TV, which is the newest game featured. Most of these games, like Defender, Joust and Klax, I know only from the Atari or Nintendo home versions, and a few I've never played.That said, this is still an amazing collection, even if you don't remember any of them. I think the cream of the crop is probably Klax, a Tetris-based puzzle game with interesting sound effects and changing goals. Marble Madness is also great. Even though it's extremely short (you could finish the whole game in about five minutes), it will take you a long time to become good enough to do it, since you can't continue. I couldn't get into some of the admittedly important "classics" on this disc, however. Robotron 2084 must have been great in 1984, but with the nearly identical and much better Smash TV right here, what's the point? Similarly, I don't think... Read more |
