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.

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.

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.

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.

Received the game in condition as listed on website and faster than originally stated. No problems whatsoever with company or product. Will use again if need be!

This disc is perfect! I mainly bought it for the game robotron but the graphics are superb. I bought a similar disc and it just wasn't the same, close but not as close as this one! Now I don't have to waste quarters on that game Defender (I used to hate that game). Sure it's different than using the joystick and fire button but what do you expect!?

I love this old arcade games. I remember when young playing Defender and Robotron, and this disk faithfully
reproduces this games. The only diference is that ussing the dualshock controler makes it more dificult than ussing the controlers on the arcade machines.
