Midway Arcade Treasures Extended Play
MIDWAY should be ashamed! The creators of these games have been insulted!
They will never faithfully translate Spy Hunter, every couple of years they try, and they get worse and worse…
The music is still not 100% and what’s worse, it is unplayable due to the fact that the steering control is at about 50% of what it takes to knock cars into the ditch in this game…
For people new to the game, it won’t even come close to grasping them, and to fans of the game it is a complete insult, do they think we have forgotten after all of these years? Or I suppose they think we will be amazed by the pretty pictures and sounds, without even playing the game…
The only way to play Spy Hunter is to purchase an original 500lb. sit down arcade game machine, which I did several years ago, and barring it’s aged appearance, it is the coolest thing I know in this world!
By the way, GAUNTLET’s sound pitch is way off, everything sounds slower than it is supposed to, and come on, GAUNTLET II is so much better than the original, and should have been included here instead! Rating: 1 / 5
my kids really wanted this game & no one had it in stock – except amazon -and with the best price! Rating: 5 / 5
I bought this on its release date earlier this week-and I’ve already sold it. Yes, it gives you a decent number of games on one disc. But I quickly discovered that’s not much of a value if none of the games are very fun.
Many of the games have emulation issues-the most common being flaky control and a distorted aspect ratio (many of the games get stretched to fill more of the PSP’s wide screen). But the real problem is just that these games haven’t held up well. I got some enjoyment out of Rampage 15, 20 years ago, but it’s incredibly repetitive by today’s standards. You’ve seen everything there is to see within the first minute or two. The same is true of most of these games. Even Gauntlet seems boring 20 years later-I’d rather play the more recent update to the series-or better still something like Diablo and its clones.
The Mortal Kombat games at least LOOK pretty good, but lack any kind of extras you’d normally associate with a home game. They don’t even include move lists. (And that’s aside from the fact they didn’t play as well as the Street Fighter games to begin with, and the passage of time has only made them feel staler.)
If you’re a huge fan of these games already, and don’t mind some emulation issues, you’ll probably enjoy this disc. For most people though I’d recommend skipping this and picking up a modern game, or waiting for Capcom’s Collection for the PSP. Rating: 1 / 5
I JUST GOT TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE BEST COLLECTION OF GAMES IN ONE UMD DISC. MOST OF THE TIME I SPEND PLAYING MORTAL KOMBAT 1 & 2, THEY ARE SO ADDICTING TO ME, MK3 WAS NOT THAT OF A BIG HIT FOR ME. OTHER GAMES I ENJOY ARE RAMPAGE, & GAUNTLET. I PLAY THIS MORE THAN ANY OF MY OTHER GREAT GAMES LIKE CASTLEVANIA, FIFA 08, DAXTER. JUST GET THIS GAME AND YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH, JUST TRUST ME!

It is what it is, old school games and a lot of them. But you cannot save games. But you couldn’t save back in the day either. Rating: 4 / 5
