PlayStation Remakes of Arcade Classics | Kim Justice
Added 2019-12-08 17:04:08 +0000 UTCHere we go! A look at the mini-fad from the PS1 era for remakes of some of the great arcade games from the golden age. This was mostly led by Hasbro during the 2 years they owned Atari Interactive. The results are variable, but there's some real gems here! Enjoy.

I have the Pong remake and it is really neat. I love how they made the paddles into actual characters that come to life. I agree with Kim and recommend it. I did enjoy the Missile Command remake on PC but I'm not sure if it is the same as the PS1 game. Asteroids is decent enough to buy for $4 or $5 at a thrift store but not much more. I had always assumed that the Galaga game was crap but now I'll have to get a copy, it is one of my favorite arcade games too. Same thing with Robotron, but I will try before I buy. BTW, there is a Sinistar remake called Sinistar: Unleashed but sadly it looks like it is PC Only. Yar's Revenge has a 3D remake on PC and Xbox Live.
