Okay, let me clear something up here

Why did this game get an M for Mature rating? I am under 17 years old (but above 13), and have no objection whatsoever to the content in these games. Some of them aren't offensive at all (say, Timber). This game is rated M for Mature because of:

Blood and Gore
Intense Violence
Drug Reference

The only real "Blood and Gore" is in Mortal Kombat and Narc! Although there is a teeny tiny bit in Pit Fighter, if you watch carefully. I understand the "Intense Violence" bit. After all, there's a lotta violence, shooting, exploding bodies and what-have-you in Narc. And Mortal Kombat. But "Drug Reference"? Destroying the masssive drug lab in Narc is "Drug Reference"? Kinda ridiculous. Would the Power Pill in Pit Fighter qualify as "Drug Reference" too? I hope not. All it is is a green pill that is found in a breakable object and boosts your fighting abilities! Don't get me wrong here, but I'll eat my hat if that Power Pill doesn't have a freakin' trace of drugs in it.

Okay, enough debating: The game(s) are extremely entertaining, especially considering you can view statistics for the game (i.e. sound support, joystick, 1 or more players, etc.), check out promotion posters, and even electronic press kits and interviews with the game's developers. It's double as much fun as the original Midway Arcade Treasures.

On a parting note, Narc had so much violence and mature content that the game used the tagline: "Say NO To Drugs!", in a bizarre twist of irony. You can see it inscribed on the top of the cabinet, under the Narc logo. So violence is A-OK, but drugs are bad? Thanks, America! You sure are great!

Rampage World Tour? HELL YEAH!!!!!

This game is an unbelievable value, 20 BUCKS FOR 20, THAT'S RIGHT 20 CLASSIC ARCADE GAMES AND THAT INCLUDES MORTAL KOMBAT II, 3, AND RAMPAGE WORLD F'N TOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Ok, MK 1 Is Still Coming

What psyched me most about this release was an arcade perfect version of Mortal Kombat 1. ANd yes it has been Taken Out. But don't lose hope. Mortal Kombat Deception Will soon come out and the Kollectors Edition has a bonus disc w/ an arcade exact edition of MK1. The Midway Arcade Treasures 2 release will still rock b/c for 1, it's only $20. For 2, it still has MK2, MK3, Primal Rage, Spy hunter 2, NARC, and a list of other great titles, which will be closer, if not exact to the original arcade release, than any console release before it. Certain Naysayers will hate on this game for no other reason than to complain. for $20, It's an incredible package. i suggest it to anyone who can appreciate great arcade mayhem, or who was alive and playing during the great arcade renaissance of the early nineties. The nostalgic value of this title alone should make it a platinum release. My only Complaint is that they've taken so long to release it. Midway is doing a great job and have done extremely well as pioneers in the field of "totally freakin awesome videogames". buy it, love it, and tell everybody else to buy an atari.

IT'S ONLY 20 BUCKS, PEOPLE.

Seriously, who gives a crap about the original Mortal Kombat? You are getting a ton of really great nostalgic games for 20 BUCKS!

Don't knock it. I spent fifty bucks on Mortal Kombat 3. And if you are reading this review, you probably did also.

Great bang for your buck.

18 Excellent 2 player games for only 20 dollars!

This is the ultimate party pack and for only 20 dollars! Im so glad that perfect Arcade versions of Mortal Kombat 2 and PitFighter are available on this disk(as well as 18 other games).

I picked this one up yesterday and I haven't even played half of the games yet. 18 of the 20 games are multi-player, so if your looking for a great 2 player deal, this is it. Features some memorible 90's titles like Primal Rage (A jurasic park meets street fighter game). Also features some great nostalgic 80's games such as Timber(where you chop down trees and keep your cranky boss happy.

The main reason I bought this was Mortal Kombat 2(A phenomenal game). Sure it might not be impressive by todays standards, but when you realize that this game came out in a world before Windows 95, then you will be amazed. One player seems to be difficult, but its a great 2 player experience! Me and my brother used to battle for hours... Cant wait to play against him again!

Only 20 dollars and worth every penny! Thank you Midway for this great release!

ONE THE COOLEST OLD SCHOOL COLLECTIONS EVER!!!!!!

Mortal Kombat 2, Narc, Rampage World Tour, Pit Fighter, Primal Rage and Total Carnage!!!!! THIS ARE THE VIOLENT, FUN, TWISTED, DESTRUCTIVE, EXPLOSIVE HIGH BUDGET ACTION-PACKED classic games in the list. If you are a fan of the 90's or late 80's then this game is for you because it will bring you back to the 2D non-stop fun that you were raised when you were a kid or teenager.

Games like Gauntlet 2, Mortal Kombat 3, Kozmik Kroozr, Arch Rivals and Timber also hold action and fun but not BIG BUDGET FUN like the games I first said.

The rest is cars and other low budget cheesy games, if you want cool car games then wait for Midway Arcade Treasure 3.

IMPORTANT: Don't lisen to the other reviwers!!! This games are CLASSICS!!....... OK, maybe not SO classics as the first Midway collection or the Activision Atari Classics but maybe the one of the FUNNIEST games ever created.

P.S: I can't wait for Konami does the same thing!!!! I MISS THE SIMPSONS ARCADE GAME AND ALIEN VR. PREDATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

ADIOS!

Mortal Kombat 2? MK3? Arch Rivals? NARC?

Cheers to Midway for releasing another "Arcade Treasures" collection. "Midway Arcade Treasures 2" contains 20 games from different years(mostly from early 80s to the late 90s). Some of the highlights of the game include "Timber", "Narc", "Mortal Kombat 2 and 3", and "Rampage World Tour" just to name a few. Several of the games have not been seen in arcades in years; for example, the driving simulator "Hard Drivin" and "Wacko". This collection has tighter controls and an increased replay value than the first collection of arcade treasures. It is a great game for a great price.

One of the Best PS2 Games Ever

I loved playing arcade games I've never played before, like Primal Rage, APD, and ALOT more. Plus, it has the arcade-perfect version of MK2 and MK3!!!!! Even though MK2 is hard, and you only have 3 seconds to do the fatalities, it's still very fun to play. MK3 is really easy, and better than the SNES version because you have infinite lives, and the sound is awesome. If you like arcade games (and MK), be sure the buy this cool product.

Brings back memories
