From their home page, click the "play classic games" tab on top menu top.
I agree with most in here, I got the pack for sinistar, thought it was malfunctioning and took it back only ro find it was messed up on all.
then pick which game from next page.
It appears to be a programming flaw.
If you want to play these games, you can anytime for free on midways site--[.].
and see what they have to say.
I'm going to try to contact co.
The other games worked O K but not as good as they should.
All 4 these games are there plus few others.
I spent tons of quarters on these games back then, and they are hard to find now. Okay. The Gameboy has the power to do them justice. SINISTAR is a mess - you really can't control your ship too well with it constantly thrusting, ROBOTRON is a lacking in that you can't fire in a direction you are not moving, JOUST fares pretty well but again some control issues, and DEFENDER is hard to see even on the well lit SP screen. I agree with some reviews here. But it is nice to see these 80s classics in any form. Shame that the controls are not perfect, but still worth a look.
AAAGGHH. . The game's only plus is that this Defender works. The new GBA Defender is messed up just like Sinistar. The ship won't stop thrusting. I wanted Sinistar. I'ts like playing a broken arcade machine. Both these games were put out unfinished.
That might be okay if the games in this implementation were playable on their own terms, but they're not. This is absolutely the worst arcade translation I've ever seen. Defender, Sinistar, Robotron, and Joust are great arcade games, and have been faithfully reproduced on other platforms, but this sad attempt bears little resemblance to the real things. Defender/Joust for Gameboy Color is much better than this pathetic garbage.
Defender's movement and "physics" are all wrong - very poor indeed.Robotron is unplayable because there is no way to lock the direction you fire in (ie you can't fire backwards) - Jeff Minter came up with the simple idea of holding down the fire button to lock fire in a certain direction - shame these guys didn't copy the idea.Joust seems like the most faithful reproduction, but maybe that's because I play more Defender. I have a real Defender machine in my kitchen and MAME is the only thing I play on my PC, so I know about these things.Defender is a poor re-write, unlike the faithful reproductions (emulation). This collection is a disaster I'm afraid. in the Namco Museum cart. There is still plenty wrong with the Joust game as well :-(Sinistar is too fast to play, but I am not an expert on this game.I am a serious retrogame freak, but I'm going to take this piece of garbage back to the shop.
