 Limited to nostalgia April 12, 2006

First, please note that this game DOES NOT include Moon Patrol! I bought it for that game. Hopefully the Amazon site will update the description.
Some of the games are still fun 20 years later, but some are just so dated that it's hard to get into them. The graphics are REALLY lame compared to today! But of course, we buy this for nostalgia value, and that is what you get. As far as I can tell, these are perfect replica's of the 80's games.Great time killers and no more losing fist fulls of quarters!

Good to average material here. Graphics are little light at times to see clearly. Maybe if I had a larger screen television, the graphics would be better compensated. Disc comes with a lot of material or games but I personally only play about half of them.
More obscure games than what I used to enjoy; however, some people may enjoy that because they may not be offered with any other package disc like this one. The price was also reasonably fair for all of these games.
Navigating through this disc was quite different than others I have used; however, with lots of games comes several different steps or levels to pursue.

Midway Arcade Treasures surely does contain some classic 80s gaming...SMASH TV alone is worth the price (great for parties and even better now that it doesn't eat quarters like a fiend)! You'll have fun exploring some of the other offerings as well - Roadblasters, Sinistar etc. Sadly two of my favorite games of yor: Paperboy and Robotron 2084 have absolutely rotten control-translation. The game menu for the disk is also very clunky and tough to navigate...but if you can overlook the shortcomings, you'll have hours of great retro-gaming fun at your fingertips (for less than you spent at the local bowling alley arcades when you were a squirt). :)

Paper Boy was always one of my favorite games (and the reason I purchased this disk). I admit that there is still alot of great games on this disk worth playing (like Sinistar, rampage, Joust), but I was really dissapointed because Paper Boys controls were horrible. I really enjoyed the sega version and found the controls good, so I was surprised that the arcade version controls were so bad.
Otherwise all the other games look and work great. If you want to re-live the old Starcade days, purchase this collection.

This game was a great buy. Many arcade hits that were my favorites when I was 8 years old.....and got beaten in mere seconds. Paperboy, Root Beer Tapper, Spy Hunter, Rampage, and they are all perfectly restored, with the same music and graphics. If you're hooked on nostalgia, this is the game to get!! And as for price, with over 20 games, what are you debating on? No more quarters are needed! You'll get more than your money's worth, and it's so nice to see "FREE PLAY" on the screen.
