Publisher: Sega
Released: 1996
Arcade Classics is a compilation of Atari titles that was also released on the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis (1996).
+ Lots of options to customise the action, and there's even two-player modes for each game via the Gear-to-Gear cable.+ Pong plays well and unlike the 16-bit version the paddle ricochets are much more accurate and predictable.
- Offers a measly three games and the inclusion of each is puzzling given their Paddle / Trackball controller origins.
- Redesigned Sega versions fail to add any new gameplay twists, and the graphical reskins are marginal at best.
- Centipede is painfully slow and trying to make quick adjustments to your positioning is like wading through treacle.
- Missile Command suffers from a slow ABM recharge rate, which hampers your ability to launch multiple projectiles.
- Inexplicably decides to show you the compilation credits after each game, which swiftly grows tiresome.
