yes, I remember Tapper anti Joust 2, anti who could forget Spy Hunted Then there's Utoon Patrol anti Burger Time - they ring a vague bell, but I've never heard of Splat or Blaster.Īnd that's the problem: this doesn't represent the golden age of arcade games at all. These games are direct ports trom arcade originals, so they're exactly how you remember them 16 years ago. The other reason is nostalgia - which is well covered. Part ol the reason we play retro games is to remind us how awful graphics and sound used to be in the days when lens flare was a bad thing. To describe a retro collection in these terms alone is to miss the point. so you'll get better sound and graphics trom your microwave. Here are seven games covering driving, shoot 'em ups anti even a food tight. If you're fan of old arcade classics, this collection is pretty good (and cheap) with more to buy through in-app purchase if you want to continue to relive the glory days of arcade gaming.Journey back with us to tbe early 1980s and visit the arcade time forgot, courtesy ol Midway and Arcade's Greatest Hits 2. To be perfectly honest, I would probably buy Joust and Defender for 99 cents each if Midway had decided to offer them that way, so 99 cents for all these games seems like a steal to me. The game has its control issues, but you have options in the settings for some flexibility. Overall, Midway Arcade offers up a bunch of great arcade classics that play pretty well for 99 cents. On Midway Arcade, they feel a bit more thrown together. Part of the problem is that there are tons of air hockey, skee-ball, and billiards games already out for the iPhone that really focus on those specific gameplay experiences. Mostly, the standup arcade classics played pretty well (which is probably why most would buy this game), but the other interactive games were kind of boring and not very complex. Joust is mostly the same with some sound effect variation from the original, but it seems a hair slower. Defender plays just how I remember, but there's no substitute for tactile buttons, and I have a feeling Defender pros will get frustrated. My experience playing them on the iPhone was a little frustrating, but I could see myself coming back for more later. I was fortunate enough to visit a lot of arcades as a kid, and some of these games happened to be my favorites. Each game awards tickets for winning (both arcade and interactive games) and you can spend your tickets on 3D stuffed animals and other toys in the prize shop.
MIDWAY ARCADE COLLECTION FULL
When you decide on a game, just click the Play button, and the game comes up full screen.
The place is decked out in '80s fluorescent lights, too, giving it that classic arcade feel. While in the arcade, you can touch an arrow to move through the 3D virtual building to the next game, then swipe to see both sides of the cabinet. A two-level, open-air building features the included standup arcade games on the top level, and the air hockey, roll ball, billiards, and in-app-purchase games on the bottom level. What's interesting is that Midway Arcade is laid out like an actual classic arcade. The Action Game Pack comes with NARC, Total Carnage, and APB. The Adventure Game Pack includes Gauntlet 1 and 2, and Wizard of Wor. You have the option to buy two more 99-cent packages of games through in-app purchase. This 99-cent game features Joust, Defender, Rampage, Spy Hunter, Arch Rivals, Root Beer Tapper, and then some other more-interactive games one would usually find at classic arcades, like air hockey, basketball quick-shot games, billiards, and Roll Ball (a skee-ball clone). Midway Arcade offers classic games from the '80s arcades and gives you touch-screen options that work pretty well, but it's not perfect.
