Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits (Sony PlayStation 1, 1996)

About this product

Product Information

Collecting six early- to mid-'80s arcade games on one CD, Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits includes: Robotron 2084, in which you control a robot who shoots in all directions, killing thousands of enemies and saving innocents; Joust, which is a flying jousting match set in the dinosaur age; Sinistar, a shooter similar to Asteroids but with a talking demon you must destroy; Defender and Defender II (originally called Stargate in the arcades), outer space shooters which scroll both left and right, just as your ships can shoot both left and right; and Bubbles, a game in which you are a bubble, and you must eliminate spiders and other nasties from a sink while trying to avoid razor blades and other hazards. Of the six games in this collection, Bubbles is by far the most obscure and was the least successful commercially in the arcades.<br><br>Composed of historical facts, anecdotal information, and creator quotes, Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits includes several paragraphs of onscreen text about each title. You can feast your eyes on the Media Gallery, which features pictures of artifacts and memorabilia from the games such as advertisements, game boxes, sell sheets, and production sketches. Also, there is video footage available, featuring interviews with original Williams programmers.

  • Robotron: I”m saving the last human family once more !

    For years - DECADES - I have been looking for a home option to play “Robotron 2084.” I wasn’t into PlayStation when PS1 first came out. Having the game now is awesome! Robotron was a “2 joystick” game, and unfortunately I don’t dominate with the PS controller … yet. But I’m pleased just hear and see the “exact” sounds and graphics from the arcade of yesteryear! Very pleased!

    I loved these games as a kid and they are exactly like the original arcade versions. This disc replaces my old, scratched one. It works, a bargain!

  • Old school games still fun

    Great set of old arcade games. Joust plays easily as does Robotron. Addictive games even for new players to these games. Perfect to play when trying to kill some time in the day or night.
