Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits Volume 1

It's easy to see the irony of playing nearly 20-year-old games on your Dreamcast. What's nice about it is that the advanced hardware easily emulates state-of-the-art '80s technology, and at home, there's no one to hurry you off the machine by lining quarters along the screen. Weed out the evil, Big Brother-controlled robots from the hapless bystanders in Robotron 2084; shoot and spin Asteroids style while enduring Sinistar's sneering taunt, "Run, coward!"; and make the bathroom sink safe from bacteria in Bubbles. Save most of your time for Defender--the king of its day--a panic-filled, side-scrolling shoot-and-rescue mission. Also included here is Defender's less-forgiving sequel, Defender II (previously known as Stargate). This collection of coin-op gems is enough to make you wistful for break dancing and Reaganomics.
