all on one disc...damn...finally an arcade worthy port of Primal Rage..and MK3..I must be dreaming

 

[subcons]

I have to admit, if those are all arcade perfect ports, that's a damn good buy.

All that nostalgia on one disc. Wow.

 

[galfordo]

A.P.B. Cyberball 2072 Gauntlet ...t for an arcade perfect port of MK2 alone :D.

Stun Runner
Cyberball (the first True arcade-style football game to take the world by storm since the X's and O's, where players can been blown to smithereens)
Arcade worthy port of a true 3-player Xenophobe(been waiting a while for that)
Not to mention, the others in the list, but........
$19.99???????
Looks like Midway is setting to make yet another addition to the "Games most worth the 20 bucks you spent on award".
I already see a couple of games in there that'll get the unsung hero award, in my book. Like that freakin' Vindicators game I keep playing.

Like the recent Colin McRae 2004, I picked up. (Or that $20 Shenmue 2 game for Xbox) Anything that feels like you robbed a mint for paying only $20 for it, better sell. One could say, "About time they release packs like this", but be thankful that they're doing it.

Note: I'd also pay the price just for a perfect port of MKII. That's the main Mortal Kombat I liked.

 

[Arcademan]

I've been waiting for this game to come out...

THE WIZARD OF WOR!!!

 

[GunstarHero]

Holy Shit.

 

[Magnaflux]

HELL



FUCKING


YEAH

 

[X]

Primal Rage? I used to play that game the cades all the time.

It may not be too good, but nostalgi asis like a damn drug. Rage!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SuperGunGuru]

Very cool. I will be picking this one up for sure when it comes out. I didn't know midway made pit fighter. I thought it was an Atari game, but I'm guessing Midway just licensed it to them.

You are somewhat correct.

Atari Games, which was a separate company, made Pit Fighter.

Atari and Atari Games became separate companies around the time the Tramiel Family bought Atari.

Under the Tramiel Family's incompetent rule, Atari only made home computers, home consoles, accessories, and games.

Atari Games only made arcade games, and it owned the Tengen Division, which ported the arcade games into consoles.

Atari Games was still owned by Time Warner. Then owned by Namco, and Finally owned and killed by Midway. Therefore, Midway owns all of Atari Games intellectual properties.

[Kirk Foiden]

Yeah. It was an Atari Arcade game. So was Stun Runner, so was Xybots, so was the entire Gauntlet franchise, and so was just about every 3D game ever released in the arcades, particularly the SciFi and Tank ones, outside certain racers and gun games made by other companies like Sega, Konami, Namco. And then again, before those guys came into the 3D picture, Atari Arcade were the only ones pioneering the 3d field.

But years ago, Midway and Atari Arcade merged, so they are one and the same now. Actually, they were one in the same since before Gauntlet Legends came out, so all properties of both Midway (through the years) and Atari arcade (through the years) are under one ownership.

 

[ferrarimanf355]

I'm dissapointed. No San Francisco Rush? No Atari protos? No light gun games?
Ah well, at least they included MK3.

 

[RAINBOW PONY]

omg, Cyberball 2072 (no more genesis version with crappy sound) and gauntlet 2 alone are worth 19 bucks if it's arcade perfect. and finally i can re-live the crapfest that is primal rage in arcade perfect glory

i also hope thats UMK3 and not normal MK3.... would be a shame....

i think T-MEK was an atari/midway arcade game, would love to see that, all we have is the 32X version...

NBA Jam would be nice as well.

 

[Michael Yagami]

I was sold on this disc when as soon as they said "ARCADE PERFECT PORTS OF MK, MK2, MK3", but now that they've added in STUNRunner this disc is officially BETTER THAN EVERYTHING, EVER!

Why must I wait until fall?!?!?!?

Mike

 

[Chuplayer]

Where's Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3? They all suck, but they might as well suck with total completion.

20 bucks, eh? I'll get it.

 

[SouthtownKid]

Arch Rivals (kiss my #%$%, NBA Jam)! Championship Sprint! The rest is gravy.

 

[roker]

I'm dissapointed. No San Francisco Rush? No Atari protos? No light gun games?
Ah well, at least they included MK3.

I'd like to see Marble Madness 2 and Primal Rage 2

But other than that

All I have to say is: WOW

This is destined to be the best arcade collection I've ever seen

And all for 20 bucks

Can't wait

I've been waiting for perfect ports of MK 1 and 2

But I also get:

• Arch Rivals
• Mortal Kombat III
• NARC
• Pit Fighter
• Primal Rage
• Rampage World Tour
• STUN Runner
• Timber


and some other cool games

fuckin' wow

 

[FormlessOne]

MK II on my GC

 

[GunstarHero]

Timber is such an awesome game...that should work great with the dualshock

 

[Big Shady]

DAMN son, this is one awesome piece of software history. Definitely picking up that disc for my XBOX

 

[galfordo]

I don't wanna hear any more bitching about what this disc isn't including - it's fucking 20 bucks dude!

You simply cannot argue the fact that this is the:

Best. Compilation. EVAR!!!

 

[Syxx573]

Dang... that's great.

Midway's actually got good some games recently. I'm impressed with them... first the Suffering, and then Ballers (which is great).

 

[Verbatum]

MK2

PitFighter

True goodness.

 

[aria]

That's a fantabulous deal for $20

I was pleased with their port of Smash TV on the PSOne, so I can't wait for Total Carnage.

A.P.B., Hard Driving, NARC, and to have a (hopefully) great port of Rampage World Tour... My Xbox will finally have a 3rd game.


Heh! Anyone remember how many bullets this guy took:

Heh! Anyone remember how many bullets this guy took:

I distinctly remember it being more than 3.
