Twenty Four Arcade Classics on One Disc - Excellent!Review created: 03/18/07(updated 03/23/07)

6 of 6 people found this review helpful.
Midway Arcade Treasures for the PS2 includes some of the best eighties and nineties arcade games ever released. These are simply timeless classics which will bring back lots of memories. The disc contains two of the best ever arcade games: Defender and Joust as well as the follow up games Defender II and Joust II. Also included are the classics Paperboy, Gauntlet (4 player), Spy Hunter, Robotron 2084, Rampage, Roadblasters, Satan's Hollow and so much more.
These are the original un-altered games and are just as fun now as they were back then. Sure, the graphics are no where near what we're used to now but that's what makes them so great. For fans of the original Gauntlet, it's multitap capable for up to four players just like when it was in the arcade. Also, many of the other games like Joust and Rampage are still multi player capable. As a bonus the developers also included interviews with the creators of the games and some of the individual game histories which is pretty cool.
For what you'll pay on E-Bay you can't beat the value of this release. Remember you'll get twenty four games for less than the cost of one game at the stores. Pick it up today and enjoy!

I purchased this because I wanted to play Gauntlet like I played it in the arcades many years ago. It is much like the same, but I don't remember as many monsters. I'm sure it is just the same though. When it cost a quarter to play each time, you actually learned to master it along with other players. This along with all the other games included are great fun, but to the younger generation, they lose interest quite quickly, maybe because they get their butt kicked in JOUST! Just remember, PS2 controller is not the same as the arcade joystick and buttons.

Over 40 and bested my 8-yr-old at this video game!2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
They never knew dad could actually play and YES kick same robot butt on Robtron 2084. The humans can be saved as dad shows the rookie gamers some old tricks. It also has Defender, Joust, Paperboy and many other "Blast from the Past" games that are still cool to play with the dual-analog joystick PS2 controls. This is worth some video time with the kids. Good clean fun, and you only have to deal with the crying from the kids, not placing their initials at the top of the leader board. It is rated T for teen, but you can choose from the Twenty arcade style games. There is at least one game that you can win. Good luck!

Great way to replay those classic games we love
) 2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
With so many games, how do you choose? I purchased this game about a month ago, and the primary reason for doing so was the game Joust (my all time favorite). When I got the game home, I realized there were 24 games in total, and all of them excellent! From Paperboy, another favorite, to Rampage... Gauntlet to Vindicator, the games bring you right back to those days when your fun lasted for as long as there were quarters in your pocket.
I recommend this game to anyone who had a love for the classics. The only bad thing I have to say about this game is there, of course, is no saving to go back. I did hope that, after going through 27 levels in Gauntlet, that I would be able to save and go back later, but you have to start over each time at the beginning.
Like I said, if you're into the classics, or just wanting a great game (what am I saying? 24 great games!) to play at home, Midway Arcade Treasures is the perfect game for you!!

I bought it because I used to play Gauntlet, the orginal, all the time with my mother at a younger age. I still love the game, albeit I'm used to much better graphics now. But if you would like to have a trip down memory lane, this would probably be a good game for you. It has a little bit of everything on it. Unfortunately, I can't tell if it's because of my system or what, but the controls don't seem to work for quite a few of the games.
However, if you're looking for something classic, this is a good game to go with, seeing as it gives you so many options.

24 classic arcade games on one disc. They all play exactly the way you remember. Gauntlet and Smash TV are the standout games. Spy Hunter, RoadBlasters and Rampage rock too. Ahhhhh....'80s arcades....

I wanted this item as to give to my husband as a gift. He played one of the old games 25 years ago when we were dating. I like knowing that sometimes the simple things in life are the funnest and best remembered good times. (inexpensive too)

Full Review: We all tend to romanticize our pasts, and for me - Video games, Arcades, and old school Chuck'E'Cheese are big parts of mine. I grew up with an Atari 2600, and have never really looked back - Video Games fill up way more of my leisure time than Television, Movies, or Reading combined. They are ingrained in who I am. Of..
