Wow! Prize Fighter was my second favorite FMV game to Night Trap on Sega CD! Had a lot of fun with this one so this will be a day one. This is when I can appreciate Limited Run! Road Avenger & Time Gal next please!
@Robocod ughh! Thx for the info. And this is why game preservation can sometimes be overly complicated! I was actually interested in the A1200 as well. Big Amiga fan. Still have my 500! lol 😆
I’ve never bothered with Gamepass & never will. And now that Halo is hitting PS5, why the hell would anyone ever buy an Xbox console again? And I love my Series X. What a shame MS.
Damn!! Like as if Sega had published Sonic on the Super Nintendo! Crazy stuff! But now I’m curious as to who the hell is ever going to want to buy an Xbox ever again? Now or next gen if there even is one. I don’t fully understand Microsoft’s strategy here. While I understand they will make money with software sales on PlayStation, I feel this will effectively kill the Xbox hardware lineup. 🤷♂️
Well I don’t think it was that bad but my question is WHY isn’t Sega handling these games themselves especially after pulling all their classic games down recently?? This is a great franchise that like many others, deserves full attention from Sega not to farm it out to other developers to do half baked.
overall I’m happy with it but just feel the amount of maps in mp was very limited in variety and quantity. So therefore a bit repetitive imo. And yea to you older gamers losing your sharp skills with age, I feel you big time. Man is my reaction time terrible lol.
Give me a single player offline campaign any day of the week. For me it’s more immersive and I can pause the game and step away any time to eat, bathroom breaks etc In fact I’m hearing Battlefield 6 campaign is supposed to be the best one yet so looking forward to that!
I have a ps5 on one tv and a 4 on the other. Between the 2 and with external hard drives on each, I have just about all the games I want access to ready to go. I don’t know what these services are being cut, but as long as I can still play my ps4 game library, I’m good. After all we can still play ps3 games so the same should apply here for the 4.
The only reason I liked it was redeeming credit to purchase other PS digital games and then they killed it. So now I couldn’t care less. First Nintendo killed the gold coins now Sony. Total greed. I hope Microsoft keeps their rewards going at least!
@romanista played Daytona 2 last night. Such a beautiful game. And VF2 such a classic fighter! And I agree with you…how the HELL has Sega not yet released a classic compilation of ALL the arcade classics they’ve released via these Yakuza games?? It’s outrageous that they haven’t!! lol it almost borders on stupidity! 🤷♂️
The vault for Sega’s classic games arcade and console is very deep! Too many to even list! But I’d die for a new compilation! Hope this is going to happen! Even if it’s over several volumes! If it does happen then the only collection of classics we’d still be missing after all these years is the Midway/Atari arcade classics! Maybe the new Atari can swing it since they’re collaborating with Warner Bros on the new Mortal Kombat collection and supporting the 7800 console again with fresh titles! That would be awesome! 😎 🙏
@Killionaire oh man those Horizon Chase games are soooo good! Very very outrun-ish! Beautiful graphics! Only wish part 2 went physical! But we definitely need a new Outrun from Sega even though the original arcade port is on Switch now. I’d take Outrun 2006 remastered in a heartbeat!
Sony just don’t forget the collection of Midway & Atari Games classic arcade games if you move in for the kill. Defender - Joust- Robotron 2084- San Francisco Rush- Hydro Thunder- Gorf- Satans Hollow- Gauntlet- Paperboy- Smash TV & a ton of others! Warner hasn’t done a damn thing with all that classic IP since PS3!!
@rockodoodle in my opinion the Forza Horizon series is some of the best Rally racing games I’ve ever played!! Right up there with the Dirt franchise maybe even better! So no, I can’t talk you out of it lol. 😆
I still own Fire Shark, Grindstormer, Hellfire, Twin Cobta & Truxton on Genesis. All great shooters! And I WILL be picking up Tiger Heli for the Atari 7800 when that drops. Needless to say, I’m all in on these physical editions!! Day 1 😊
Hey I always go physical whenever possible so I’m doing my part. I do buy digital games but usually ones that don’t have a physical release or unless the digital version is REALLY REALLY CHEAP! Also being a collector, I still run to GameStop or Best Buy (maybe Target) once a week to see what sales are available. Problem is their selection is getting smaller & smaller which leads me to eBay or Amazon. As far as preservation goes, I’ll be there every time when stuff like the Bubsy or Gex collections hit. Gotta show your support and appreciation for that!
Noooooo!! Codemasters Rally games are the best!! Such beautiful games!! I’m still trying to finish Dirt 4 and hope to finally move on to the next one! Terrible news!!! 😡
The mind races with wonderful possibilities of more exciting & modern game releases under this “Arcade Archives 2” banner! Go Hamster! Love these guys!
@bugzbunny109 Bugs Bunny! The undisputed king of comedy lol. 😆 👍 Anyway I haven’t played a pc game since Amiga 500. That said this is still annoying and unnecessary by Microsoft!
Remember the cartridge console days?? Just plug and play! No updates no DLC, no signing in. Just blow in your cart for good measure and you’re good to go. Just had me a few rounds of Pitfall the other day on my 2600 and some Doom 64 actually ON the 64. Good times!
Last weekend I bought PS4 Tennis 2k25 physical. 30G download then forces you to create an account to play the damn game! I Couldn’t opt out of it and play the game!! 🤬 Screw that - returned the game & got my money back! Unbelievable BS. NOT good times!
Well no physical Disc is an absolute deal breaker for Me! What the hell Microsoft? why?? So this will be a sale way way way down the road and I can wait as I have it already on Xbox! Boooo!!!
Always enjoy a good tennis game but not for $40. So I’ll give Top Spin a whirl. Pac re Pac is a good game already grabbed that. Star Wars file is tremendous like Call of Duty big, so I’ll just add to library for now and download it down the road.
Everyone get their butts in the car and go to any store that sells video games and pick up a few! Physical is still king imo! But unfortunately I’m relying more and more on Amazon and EBay to find physical copies of games I want. But I still physically get myself to the stores at least once a week.
@LavenderShroud 100% it is the law now and Nintendo as usual is being proactive with it. Failed to mention that thx. Haven’t seen Sony or Microsoft adapt to this language yet but I’m sure they will soon.
Everyone remember when the Wii digital store closed and more recently the Xbox 360 store? Anyone remember how SONY tried to close the PS3 Store but took a lot of heat and it’s still open? Then the Wii U and 3DS stores closed! Anyone notice how Nintendo changed the verbiage from owning a digital game to leasing it when you’re making a purchase?? Buying digital is NEVER a good thing ever. We don’t REALLY OWN THEM! We have to all get our butts to the stores and buy physical games then afterwards you can sell it, trade it in or whatever. We’re all gonna miss it when physical games are gone forever!! It’ll be a shame! Won’t be good for collectors either! 😑
Once I get the Pro I’d like to slap an extra 1 or 2TB SSD card and then add a 5TB usb external drive for the ps4 games. Even then I could still be dealing with memory management lol. 😆
I’ll never forget the day I loaded the Sega CD version up and how it just blew my mind!! Had to buy them both again on PS One I loved them so much! Still own them today! This is Fantastic news!! Physical please!! 🙏🙏
I got this for Xbox last year because Hamster doesn’t seem to release any arcade archive games aside from Neo geo which I don’t understand. So on PS4 & PS5 doesn’t make much sense as the console is flooded with retro goodness & Hamster has a new arcade game every week, like the Switch.
I was a big Amiga fan back in the day too so for me that’s another bonus- but again I have it on Xbox already so need need to grab it again on the PlayStation. It also was less expensive on the Xbox for some reason.
It all started with Atari for me and been crazy gamer since! I’m just so happy to see 7800 Jag and Lynx being finally thrown into the mix! Especially Jaguar?? On my PlayStation Xbox and Switch?? Sweet!! Tempest 2000? Atari Karts? Missile Command 3D? Nice! All you hackers and modders out there know damn well how tough it is to achieve decent Jag emulation if at all and I’ve been collecting Jaguar games for years now so this is just awesome!! Let’s hope for a physical release as well!! Day 1 for me regardless!
@Ashkorsair trust me you’re not lol it bugs the hell out of me! With PS5 I was hoping with psone and PS2 games you’d be able to pop those discs in there but nope! PS3 i can give Sony a pass on but Let’s hope Sony has something good cooking with Back compat!

Re: SEGA Trademarks Arcade Paradise Potentially Hinting at Compilation Bundle
@romanista ok thanks! I don’t have that Yakuza game yet but I will check it out!
Re: SEGA Trademarks Arcade Paradise Potentially Hinting at Compilation Bundle
