I could never get this game to run. I have a 1 year old computer running Window XP SP2. The game installs ok, but when I try to run it, the game quits. I've tried everything, even calling SEGA's Customer support for this product which is NON_EXISTENT! I couldn't find a way to even E-Mail the company with a question! What a WASTE of 20- bucks. BUY SOMETHING ELSE! I'm only giving it one star because I have to. The game is worthless.

Do not buy! The software will not run properly on Windows XP, and there is no customer support. A total waste of money.

Does not load on my new PC, running XP, meeting all of the "system requirements". Sega offers NO support.

Do not waste your money. I was never able to get the game to work. I would have rated it with all "0" but the lowest rating is "1".
Sega support was no help--I never talked to a human being.

WORTHLESS!!!

I bought this game just so I could play Gladiator again...it was everything I remembered it to be. As far as I can tell all the games are exact emulations of the arcade originals, so if you're the sentimental type you'll definitely take a trip back in time.
I also had the problem of it not working on Windows XP, so I searched for the patch that another reviewer mentioned and found it very easily. After installing the patch everythign worked just great. I downloaded it [...]Alright, back to Gladiator...

Fun for parents and kids

At first after reading the other reviews I was thinking of not buying the game at all. But I found a site on which there were patches for the game. So I decided to buy the game (european version). After delivery I installed the game on a windows ME pc and it worked very well. Also on my Xp pc it is still working very well and I enjoy the old games very much as do my daughters. If you like the old arcade games this is definitely a gamepack you should buy

Solid collection of arcade favorites, and then some

First, ignore the one star reviews, as there is a patch available that fixes the crashing problem.

Second, Bubble Bobble and Space Invaders are both on this collection, two of Taito's biggest arcade games, and that's a great start. However, the lesser known gems are the real highlights of this collection, with puzzlers like Tube It and Qix or the action-platformer Rastan. There are other games that haven't withstood the test of time on here as well, but they are fewer in number.

Controls in most of the games translate very well to the mouse and/or keyboard with a few exceptions. None of the games in the collection used some of the more exotic control schemes available on arcade cabinets; the most unusual one emulated here is the good old trackball, which is easily (though naturally not perfectly) replicated with mouse control.

The bottom line is that if you or someone you know is a fan of 80s or 90s arcade games then this collection is possibly the best value for the money, as it can be found for $5-$10 easily nowadays. That's a fantastic price for Bubble Bobble alone, and with everything else in this compilation it's stupendous.

Great Buy

Great collection of old arcade games- perfect replicas of the originals
Got it used for $5.
Was worried about computer compatibility (windows XP notebook), not because of the disc- just everything on a PC is a pain.
People- don't blame software for your hardware problems !
Using a microsoft gamepad- finding that the mouse is quicker for the shooting games though. Everything is working great !
Would have been nicer to play on the Tv/ nintendo gamecube/wii- but its not available for those and didn't want to buy another game system.

No problems!
