Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits (USA, Europe)

Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits on GBA is a compilation of Midway's famous arcade games ported to the handheld console. The game offers a nostalgic experience with pixel art graphics characteristic of the golden age of arcade games. The compilation includes various genres, from shooters like Defender and Gauntlet to fighting games like Mortal Kombat I & II and strategy game Rampart.

Each game retains its characteristic gameplay, providing a familiar feel for those who have experienced the original arcade versions. However, GBA controls may differ slightly from the original arcade versions, requiring players to re-familiarize themselves. Defender, with its classic scrolling shooter gameplay, requires quick reflexes and precise control skills to defeat enemies and protect the spaceship. Gauntlet, an action RPG hack and slash game, challenges players to coordinate between characters to overcome challenging levels. Mortal Kombat, with its famous fighting game mechanics, requires players to master techniques and strategies to defeat opponents. Rampart offers a unique strategic building and defense experience.

Depending on the specific title, players will experience different features, from character and weapon selection to completing missions and unlocking new features. However, the commonality of all games in this compilation is fast-paced action gameplay that demands player focus and quick reflexes.
