Expert Reviews

72/100

score

As with most classic arcade compilations, the games here tend to hold up pretty well, and for the most part, they're very close to the arcade originals.

70/100

score

If you're not tear-jerked over MK's greatness, it's doubtful that the other games will have you reaching for a handkerchief.

79/100

score

There are far more games in this package that will appeal to the current generation of videogamers, since most of the titles in the pack offer far more depth and replay value than the original collection.

Remember the good old days of the arcade when you could rip someone's head off?

I wish there where more games like this. I want to play a home version of Baby Pac Man for example... (remember that one?).
