The Midway Arcade Origins pack gives modern gamers the opportunity to play through a fantastic collection of some of the best arcade titles, but for those who are used to playing these games from an arcade cabinet, the nostalgic feel may be dampened by awkward controls.

A mixed bag, with some unforgettable classics but many uninteresting or badly aged ones too, and without any extras to make the package more interesting.

Midway Arcade Origins is a collection of old games that does not fit very well in the actual generation. A product only for true retro game lovers.

This is a good game collection, especially if you like shooters like Defender,Smash TV and Robotron 2048.Other great games include Rampage,Gauntlet, Marble Madness and Super Sprint. I recommend this collection for arcade lovers and for local coop, that is the main appeal of a lot of games.Almost everybody will like something on this compilation.

Younger gamers out there may not see the appeal, but this nostalgia-driven collection is a must have for gamers who remember placing quarters on cabinets to call next game.

I hate using the term "mixed bag," but Midway Arcade Origins really is exactly that. A decent sampling of some classic titles that mostly control well with very limited options, and a few games that will leave you scratching your head at their inclusion (or exclusion, as the case may be). For those that remember these games, it's a great bit of nostalgia.

If you're ok with its price, then you can bring home 31 pieces of the history of video games, pretty well adapted to HDTVs, with trophies/achievements, ranking boards and no loading screens. However, we miss some kind of information about the titles included.

Midway Arcade Origins is a nice compilation of good old classics, but the lack of pretty important games (Paperboy?) is a shame. The collection is still interesting for Midway's fans, due to the presence of great old arcade machines into the disc.

I do admit that I for one loved some of these titles; some of the simplistic gameplay manages to stand up to the test of time. Unfortunately time is not kind to all of the games, which makes the collection a purely nostalgic purchase, not a must have.

If you're looking for history lesson, you're only getting part of the story. And if you are stuck with this game because your parents picked it up on a whim, well, at least you can score some easy Achievements.

Load of rubbish, having grown up with some of these games I cannot believe how bad some of them are. It doesn't help that the controls are almost non existent for most and just an exercise in frustration. I wish I hadn't bothered and left the good memories of these games as just that.
SummaryMidway Arcade Origins is a compilation of more than 30 classic, genre-defining Midway titles from the golden age of arcades.
