Gameplay

The compilation contains three classic arcade games to play: Centipede, Breakout and Missile Command. They are ported from the Atari 2600 games made in 1982, 1978 and 1981 respectively. However the games were updated to allow one or two players (alternating) and make use of digitized voices.

Reception

The compilation was negatively reviewed by Mean Machines magazine mainly for the slow responsiveness of the games and the lack of new features.[1]
