So how about that Midway Arcade Treasures?
Boy - how did THIS one slip under my radar? This is a pretty solid line up of games, for a song!
*SPY HUNTER (great - IF they get the controls to work right)
*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!!

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.

"Midway Reports losses" " Gamecube Versions of Spy Hunter 2 and Midway Arcade Treasures will not be released this year"
http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/act...s_6077622.html
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".

When asked why the title was cancelled for Nintendo's console, Midway responded that they "want to concentrate on the leading platforms in the marketplace when it comes to launching original product. We are still publishing titles like Blitz and Hitz for the Nintendo GameCube, but for The Suffering we are concentrating on the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox."
