Customer Reviews of Midway Arcade Treasures
Great! PROS: Only way to play these games without X-Box Live <
> $20 for 20 games <
> <
>CONS: Need a Joystick to Play a lot of games better.
Overall, a fine collection
I originally rented this compilation to keep my girlfriend entertained one night - I saw that it had Joust, one of her favorite childhood video games. What I hadn't realized was just how many of my own favorite childhood games Midway had made: Sinistar, Satan's Hollow, RoadBlasters, 720, and best of all, that gloriously destructive Rampage. We spent five full hours the first night of the rental playing Joust and Rampage together and laughed the entire time.

>The game-selection menu is occasionally a little slow: It loads each game's running demo as you select it, and can lag a bit while doing so. But that's the only performance issue I ever saw with this game - the controls are smooth and totally instinctive, at least on the XBox controller. The ability to adjust certain in-game variables (difficulty, number of players and so on) is a nice modern touch.

>I am 100% pleased with Arcade Treasures; my only regret is that by all accounts, Treasures 2 just didn't live up to the high standards this title set.
The Xbox controller ruins it
If you like playing classic games on your Xbox, then you definitely need the Xgaming X-Arcade joystick (ASIN B00008ELB0 or B00006I5ZX), preferably the 2-player version. I tried playing Joust, and the standard Xbox "S" controller was really holding me back. These 80's games depend on "button smashing", and that's something the Xbox controller doesn't handle well.
