good collection of classic games for those of us that remember feeding video machines quarters. Little hard to control some of the games like Defender with out a joystick. Some kind of strategy overview for some of the games with combinations, like Mortal Combat, would have been nice. Good luck remembering all those "finish him" combo's.

Its Okay I Guess

This collection has -- to me anyways -- two things: Defender and Mortal Kombat. Because of the far too long load times, neither of them is really as fun as it used to be on arcades or home-consoles. All three Mortal Kombat games have nearly as long load times as the most recent "Unchained" portable iteration of the series. You can argue that Mortal Kombat I-III are more fun than the new 3D games, but I still think that this is an unneeded decrease in playability and I certainly felt down when I noticed it, after being *so* excited for MK on my PSP.
If you can look over this issue, well, you sure know what kind of goodness is awaiting you with this collection.

One Problem

It is what it is, old school games and a lot of them. But you cannot save games. But you couldn't save back in the day either.

BEST COLLECTION OF MIDWAY ARCADES

I JUST GOT TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE BEST COLLECTION OF GAMES IN ONE UMD DISC. MOST OF THE TIME I SPEND PLAYING MORTAL KOMBAT 1 & 2, THEY ARE SO ADDICTING TO ME, MK3 WAS NOT THAT OF A BIG HIT FOR ME. OTHER GAMES I ENJOY ARE RAMPAGE, & GAUNTLET. I PLAY THIS MORE THAN ANY OF MY OTHER GREAT GAMES LIKE CASTLEVANIA, FIFA 08, DAXTER. JUST GET THIS GAME AND YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH, JUST TRUST ME!

Not bad for the price

Not a bad collection of games for the price, especially since I bought it on sale for $19.99.

The main reason I bought this game is for the Mortal Kombat collection. The game play is not bad but I did have trouble jumping backwards because the psp joystick is a little difficult to use in action games.

Spy Hunter was difficult to shift gears, remember which button fired which weapon and the steering has you all over the road.

Gauntlet seems to force you to always be the Warrior character (at least for me in one player mode). It does get boring after awhile since you basically get unlimited life. I got up to Level 50 and my thumbs were going to fall off.

Rampart was difficult to play (unless I just suck at it).

Cyberball was fun, easy to play.

Multiplayer mode is only ad-hoc (meaning the other players have to be in the same room)

The best thing about this is you dont have to put a ton of quarters to beat the games like you did back in the 80's & 90's.

I would of given it 4 stars if it also had Ultimate Mortal Kombat 4, Gauntlet II and multiple player mode over the internet.

MIDWAY should be ashamed! The creators of these games have been insulted!

They will never faithfully translate Spy Hunter, every couple of years they try, and they get worse and worse...

The music is still not 100% and what's worse, it is unplayable due to the fact that the steering control is at about 50% of what it takes to knock cars into the ditch in this game...

For people new to the game, it won't even come close to grasping them, and to fans of the game it is a complete insult, do they think we have forgotten after all of these years? Or I suppose they think we will be amazed by the pretty pictures and sounds, without even playing the game...

The only way to play Spy Hunter is to purchase an original 500lb. sit down arcade game machine, which I did several years ago, and barring it's aged appearance, it is the coolest thing I know in this world!

By the way, GAUNTLET's sound pitch is way off, everything sounds slower than it is supposed to, and come on, GAUNTLET II is so much better than the original, and should have been included here instead!
