Midway Arcade Treasures

Smash TV looks just like the arcade on XBOX! I have the Gamecube version too and Smash TV didn't look so good.... The resolution is noticeable higher and cleaner on XBOX. Midway Arcade Treasures on Xbox rules!

Really, $20 for 20 old style arcade games. Are you kidding me?! The purchase price is worth Gauntlet, Marble Madness and Spy Hunter alone. This set of arcade classics includes every popular game from Midway you can imagine, including the insanely popular Defender and Joust.

I grinned from ear to ear when I popped this in the Xbox and told my son that I used to pay .25 to play these games. He just kind of chuckled and looked at me all strange.

Marble Madness was and still is my all time favorite arcade game and it is true to form in this port to the Xbox. Actually every game I've played on it is true to the old school arcades.

For $20 you can't go wrong with this purchase. That is only $1 a game! You will be playing it for hours and hours.


AwEsOmE OLD SCHOOL ARCADE FUN! 24 games in 1!   March 25, 2004
Dream come true! This collection is so awesome, let the tears of joy flow. These old school arcade games are super fun with solid logic, gameplay, mind stimulation, action, challenge, and entertainment. The 24 games are: Spy hunter, defender, defender 2, gauntlet, joust, joust 2, paperboy, rampage, robotron 2084, smash tv, bubbles, roadblasters, blaster, rampart, sinistar, super sprint, marble madness, 720*, toobin', klax, splat!, satan's hollow, vindicators, and root beer tapper!
This game is the best of all 'classic aracde collection games'. You get both QUALITY AND QUANTITY! It also includes game histories, developer interviews, and top-secret documents.

My favorite games:
Gauntlet - Unlimited quarters ruin the game
Paperboy - Fun but hard, the street hazards are hilarious
Ramapge - Fun, destroy buildings and eat people, multi-players
Smash TV - Fun! Lots of carnage. Like the movie "Running Man', multi-players
KLAX - Fun puzzle tetris/columns type game.
Super Sprint - Fun! No steering wheels? Feels more like radio control than driving with joystick, still fun, multi-players
720* - Fun!! I like this more than Tony Hawk 4, seriously!
Root Beer Tapper - Fun! The gameplay and concept is classic!

These games are more fun than most modern games. This is a MUST HAVE for all classic old school arcade lovers! If you want to play REAL video games then try this too. THANK YOU MIDWAY! Can't wait for volume 2!!


Nice oldies collection   February 28, 2004

This game disc has many of the oldies that you ancient folks, like me, will remember playing at the arcade. They are basically reproduced as we remember them. Amazing how we lived in the stone ages isn't it? Still there is much fun to be had and memories to stoke. The original version of Gauntlet is worth its weight in quarters. Have fun with this and you won't be dissapointed.
