So how about that Midway Arcade Treasures?

*DEFENDER
*DEFENDER II
*GAUNTLET (well, there goes hours of my life shot to hell)
*PAPERBOY
*RAMPAGE
*ROBOTRON 2084
*SMASH TV
*JOUST
*JOUST 2
*BUBBLES
*SINISTAR
*RAMPART
*ROADBLASTERS
*SPLAT!
*BLASTER
*VINDICATORS
*SATAN'S HOLLOW (Yessss! Da Bomb!)
*MARBLE MADNESS (wonder how this will work w/o the trackball)
*SUPER SPRINT
*TOOBIN'
*KLAX
-and of course-
*720

(My bad, how could I overlook that classic!)

22 games for 20 bucks? Hell - I used to drop that in the arcade in one week!

There's a thread about this already.. like you, I'm too lazy to do a search.

I'm sure Marble Madness will do fine with analog.. hell I used to play the poo out of it on the NES and that was just a D-Pad.

I HUNGER COAWRD!!

Hey you forgot the best game of all,

720

I read somewhere, I think Game Informer, or maybe somewhere online, that for some reason, Marble Madness is INSANELY easy with the analog, the guy mentioned getting to the 4th level with ease and never losing a life. I'll see if I can find the article.

Really? I did a search for "midway arcade", and came up with a couple of hits where it was mentioned, but no dedicated thread.

The best soundfiles *EVER*. "Beware, I live" is my windows start up sound.

Yeah, I can't wait for this. It will tide me over until I complete a mame machine.

Robotron rules. IT RULES!!!!

Nice lineup.

Don't forget Intellivision Lives (60 games!) comes out around the same time and the same price!

Is that a game or one of those standalong controller thingies? (Intellivision Lives)

Game compilation for all 3 systems.

I guess you missed this thread. ;)

I know we all love to hear the background music for those lovely games, but does anyone know if it supports custom soundtracks(XBOX).. Im sold on this already but if it supports CS Im even SOLDER! ;)

As I must have mentioned in the other thread...

Still no A.P.B.! :mad:

Yeah, that's just a shame.

The one thing the PS1 arcade compliations always had over the versions on other systems (including PS2), were pure emulation. For example on Pac-Man on Namco Museum Vol. 1 for the PlayStation, you can set it up where you can turn the TV sideways to make it just like the vertical arcade monitor, plus there is never an overlay saying "Press X to start" or whatever. None of the systems other than PS1 ever had the option to simulate the vertical arcade screen, on games which were vertical in arcades, which is why, in my opinion, the PS1 collections are the best. I wonder if I can turn my TV sideways to play any games on this collection, like I could on the PS1 versions of Centipede, Millipede, etc. I can't remember if any games on this collection had vertical arcade monitors though.

Can the PC or Xbox versions of MAME be set up to work with a vertical or sideways monitor? I never could figure out how to set it up. I just want the stuff to be almost EXACTLY the way they were in the arcade, down to having to puch a button to simulate adding a coin.

What is the release date for this? I was thinking it was in October but haven't found it anywhere.

Yeah, it's really too bad that it slipped off the radar.

You thought wrong, it comes out in November. Looks like they're doing some weird staggered release for the three systems (the PS2 version comes out on 11/17, the Xbox version on 11/26, and the GC version on 12/1).

"Midway Reports losses" " Gamecube Versions of Spy Hunter 2 and Midway Arcade Treasures will not be released this year"

Which means they are cancelled for that platform more than likely. Shame to since I was gonna buy M.A.T. for my GC, saves me $15 though. I do believe they canceled the GC version of "The Suffering" as well since it's not a "leading platform".

crap, i wanted this for the GC, mainly just to use the wavebirds and the fact that i havent got an xbox yet

I will trade you my xbox for your Sinistar Cockpit :D
