Publisher: Virgin Games
Released: 1992
Arcade Smash Hits is a compilation of three games that were originally released in the Arcade from 1976 - 1981.
+ Centipede is fast and frenetic, and the mushrooms make it seem like you're fighting against the environment, as well as foes.
+ Missile Command requires resource management, as it tasks you with manually cycling through your projectile bases.
+ Wipes the floor with Arcade Classics (1996, Sega Genesis) compilation due to better controls and more refined gameplay.
+ Background art in each game gives the environments added depth, and there's also some nice Arcade-like speech SFX.
- No difficulty options for any of the games and the two-player mode is turn-based only, which is a real missed opportunity.
- Music features a cacophony of high-pitched tones which irritates, especially as there's no option to switch it off.
