  1. 50 dollars?

     

    About a week ago I sent a PC steering wheel/pedal set from NY to Calilfornia weighiing 18 pounds for less than 20 bucks via UPS.

     

    Is this overnight shipping or something? I'm interested, though I bet you'll have it sold before I have the money in a week or so.


  2. "One thing that Midway improved on over the original Midway Arcade Treasure is that the control is greatly improved. On the first game, Paperboy, Marble Maddness, Roadblasters and a few others all controlled like crap and didn't support analog, which is very important when emulating games that have a special controller. Midway Arcade Teasures 2 seems to support analog, so driving games such as Hard Drivin' are playable. "

     

    What do you mean? They do on the Game Cube version for me.


  3. Even though I like it, I wish they hadn't included power sliding, and made it more like the original.

     

    Despite being arcade game, its still stupid to be able to powerslide around corners on pavement. It has its place in rally games and dirt track oval games, but its stupid here.

     

    Wish Ridge Racer had never existed. :)


  4. Sounds like Xbox definately got the best version.

     

    "As good as the emulation, it's definitely not perfect. Whether it's from programming goof, lack of development time, or simply not enough horsepower in the system, there are some quirks in the emulation that keep the games from being 100% accurate to the original title. You'll notice little things mysteriously vanishing shadows in MK2 and MK3 for example.

     

    On the PlayStation 2, two games in particular have serious problems. Pit-Fighter actually runs at double the speed of the original game, making it next to impossible to successfully win the matches. And in Hard Drivin', the game actually seems to have a problem when players beat the lap time and enter the Phantom Photon challenge; the game actually runs much slower in this mode, which affects the vehicle's handling during the race"


  5. Appears they're right, Midway licensed it all.

     

    On the back of my Playstation Arcade's Greatest Hits : Atari Collection 1 cd it states "Used by permission. Atari, Asteroids, BattleZone, Centipede, Missile Command, Super Breakout, and Tempest are trademarks of Atari Corporation".
