Joust is worth the price alone! Rating:5 out of 5 stars Joust is addictive. Even if you don’t like the other games, you will definitely love Joust. (Your thumb will probably get really sore from flapping those Ostrich wings, though!) Defender is excellent as well. It’s also cool how you can go from one game to the other so smoothly. I’ve seen other collections that you would have to reset the game to play a different game and this one is easy as pie to switch to something else.
A cool 80’s artifact Rating:5 out of 5 stars Williams made games for hard-core arcade gamers and this collection proves it. Setting aside “Bubbles”, a misguided effort to be cute, the collection is 2-D, testosterone-driven mayhem, with titles that gamers of that era still revere: Defender, Stargate, Robotron, Sinistar, and Joust. The emulation is perfect — you can even view the operator statistics and set the arcade’s welcome message. Only regret: this disc pre-dates the Sony dual-shock analog controller, whose two joysticks would have been *perfect* for Robotron.
Robotron 2084 – The king of video games Rating:5 out of 5 stars I purcahesed Sony Playstation for the sole reason of buying this CD. Williams Arcade’s Greatest Hits is the only CD I own and 2084 is the only game I play. I started playing 2084 back in 1982 and it is still the most challenging game ever created ! Warning… You may end up breaking things in frustration. I have destroyed several controllers so far.

HOURS OF GREAT, RETRO, 1980′S FUN! Rating:5 out of 5 stars Oh boy, this has got to be the one of the coolest cd’s I’ve ever bought for my playstation console! All the awesome games I used to love playing at the local arcades right here in my living room, without dropping 300 quarters a week. I forgot just how much fun I used to have playing these games.
This cd features ROBOTRON, JOUST, DEFENDER 1, DEFENDER 2, SINISTAR, AND BUBBLE BOBBLE, all perfectly emulated! Even the original “bugs”, original sounds, etc…they’re all there! “Arcades Greatest Hits” is surely an appropriate title! You should also check out “Arcades Greatest Hits 2″ which features MORE incredible retro 80’s games we all still love.
Conclusion: If you loved these games in the 80’s, you’ll love them even more today! Especially, when you don’t have to keep inserting quarters all the time into the machine. Don’t delay, buy this cd today! You won’t be dissapointed.
