Another of the collections of old games on the console, this one focusing on old arcade game cabinets. As a fan of these type of collections, it pains me to see that most of them focus on the same bunch of old arcade games. I've played enough Defender Joust and Pacman to not get excited when I see them on collections. Thankfully, Arcade Origins does include some less common games. Personal favourites of mine include Smash TV, Gauntlet, Toobin and the very weird Rampart. This compilation includes 30 games, which is a decent amount, even if some of them are stinkers (did anyone enjoy Pit Fighter?). The presentation is nice too. The menu lets you scroll through the original arcade cabinets and listen to the music from each game while reading some information about the release. It's a bit of a shame that there are very few extras included. It would have been nice to see some interviews or maybe have some unlockable games, but maybe the achievements and online leader boards are enough for some people. You will probably know if you will enjoy this one or not, its a decent collection but could have been better.
Tons of old arcade games. If you like that it’s good
Neat little collection of games.
Every few years, I'll see an arcade game pack and think, "Hey, this might be fun!"
And every time, I remember that a big part of what makes arcade games enjoyable is the novelty of the cabinet and the arcade itself.
