Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment has just unleashed a compilation of 30+ Midway classics on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
We first caught wind of this one a while back and now Midway Arcade Origins is officially available. The collection, which was developed by Backbone Entertainment, includes a load of the best arcade titles of the golden age of the standup cabinet.
What’s in it? Deep breath:
- Defender
- Gauntlet
- Joust
- Rampage
- Total Carnage
- 720°
- A.P.B.
- Arch Rivals
- Bubbles
- Championship Sprint
- Tournament Cyberball 2072
- Defender II
- Gauntlet II
- Joust 2
- Marble Madness
- Pit-Fighter
- Rampart
- Robotron 2084
- Root Beer Tapper
- Satan’s Hollow
- Sinistar
- Smash TV
- Spy Hunter
- Spy Hunter II
- Super Off Road
- Super Sprint, Toobin’
- Vindicators Part II
- Wizard of Wor
- Xenophobe
- Xybots
All the games shown above will feature online leaderboards, achievements/trophies, and local multiplayer. Online multi isn’t supported, which is kind of a bummer, but these kinds of games are always more fun when you’re in the same room anyway.
Midway Arcade Origins is out now for the Xbox 360 and PS3 for $29.99 USD. There’s no word yet on whether a digital release will be available anytime soon, but I’ll say this – these games’d be pretty sweet on the PS Vita. Make it happen WB!
