Anyone Playing Midway Arcade Treasures 2?
What is your favorite part/worst. I love having MKII and MKIII along with Primal Rage finally arcade perfect (or close).

MK 2 and 3 are awesome of course.
APB is the shit. I used to love that game when I was a kid.
NARC is ok, gameplay wise but so hilarious. Dudes with mullets throwing syringes at you? Junkie bums in a helicopter? Priceless.
Arch Rivals is not as good as I remember it but still fun.
Rampage World Tour is still a great mindless/addictive game.
So far thats all I've had time to play but I'd say for 15$ (at Best Buy w/ Gamers GC coupon) It's already money well spent.

Loving MKII, but the fatalities seem pretty tough to pull off compared to the arcade version.
Does anyone have the X-Arcade stick? How does MKII play on that????

Damn, I wish the original MK was still included. It makes sense for them to bundle it with MK: Deception though. But I don't want to pay over $20.00 for MK: Deception. While I think it's a pretty good game after playing my friends copy, I don't like it enough to shell out big bucks for it but I still really want the original MK.

I'm having a great time with it. Certainly worth the price. I'm surprised how much I like Primal Rage.
I'm having trouble with the MK fatalities too. (As always, gamefaqs.com is the place to go for move lists.) Perhaps I'm just out of practice, but it seems like in MK3 they give you half a second to pull it off.

Cyberball is 2 players I believe. Just picked it up today....
MK2&3 are really the highlights so far. So much that I may even trade in my MK
eception....since that game is crap in my opinion

So is cyberball split-screen, then? Or did they redo it so that you can play it from one screen, Madden style?

Cyberball in the arcades would have two monitors and was a four-player game. So teamates would use the same screen. This makes me think that the version here is two-player but only by playing on the same team. Sadly, the computer isn't much of a match so it would be great if I could play against someone. Could somebody please check on this?

How is the emulation this time around?
I've only seen my friend's original MAT on the Gamecube and it was pretty shitty. Sound was WAAAAAAY off, but everything seemed a little odd, nowhere near what I remember through arcades or MAME.
Was it the GC? Was it better on other systems? Is this one fine?

Total Carnage is the only reason why I picked this up - and it rocks. It's especially cool that you can play it the way it was meant to be played - with double sticks.
It's BY FAR my favorite game in this collection.

err, no they didn't, they are still in there, they just don't list it on the back of the package (not sure why).
