 | Midway Arcade Treasures 3 | |
 | "Nostalgia Seekers Only" | 2005-11-21 |
| Back when these games were popular, people like me were very picky about arcade-to-home conversions. A good one was hard to come by. Nowadays, there is no excuse for anything but arcade perfect. Here is a quick rundown of each game and how it stacks up to the original: 1. SF Rush - The Rock: Emulated from arcade version. Difficult to control. FPS (frames per second) problems. Overall, not a total disaster. 2. Hydro Thunder: Straight Dreamcast port. Sound and video OK. Textures are low-rent. 3. Super Off-Road: Emulated from arcade. Old game, but a perfect port. Credits set to freeplay, so no infinite nitros. 4. Badlands: Emulated from arcade. Similar to Super Off-Road. Also, a good job. 5. Rush 2049: Dreamcast port. Sound and video OK. A surprisingly good game. I always liked the "wings" button. 6. Race Drivin: Emulated from arcade. Not bad! The best home version of Hard Drivin/Race Drivin available. They even incorporated the clutch. The FPS limiter is off just a bit, but it's decent enough. Audio isn't quite there either; sounds like you're squealing tires too much. The control is good, though I doubt any force feedback wheels will work. 7. STUN Runner: Emulated from the arcade. Obviously not finished. The FPS is all over the place. The sound cuts in and out. Awful. 8. Off Road Thunder: I didn't play this one in the arcade. Feels like a Dreamcast port though. Sound and video OK. Mildly amusing. Overall, a weak package. I only bought it for Race Drivin anyway. Modern gamers looking for a good crash 'em up racing game will want to try Flat Out or Burn Out 3. | ||
