Ultimate Arcade Games

• Official Website

Now you can play 12 classic arcade-style games for one low price! With a single purchase you get to play Asteroid Mine, BeeKeeper, ChipBot, FlipSide, Galaxy Hero, Gridlock, Highway 51, Merchant Galactic, Milk Run, Omega Force, Rubes Cubes, and Treasure Hunter. No doubt you'll immediately recognize the original games that were the inspirations for these original creations. However, these games are much more than "clones" of popular classics. They are expanded and improved versions that consolidate the very best gameplay elements from a variety of successful themes into single products. Why use real coins when you can use "virtual coins"...it's like owning your own arcade parlor! [Telegames]

This is a good choice for children who may not be familiar with the fundamentals, but other arcade collections have more style.

Better versions of these same games can be found on Shockwave.com, and even a budget price tag can’t justify Ultimate Arcade Games as a worthy purchase.

Lots of games and unlockables, great gameplay with smart improvements over the original concepts while retaining the old-school feeling and fun, really good graphics, sounds, and musics that make good use of the power of the machine... This one is the best compilation game ever released on GBA, and a great game in itself, packed with what every gamer is looking for: lots of fun. Highly recommended!

At less than $1.75 per game, you can't go wrong with this purchase - - and that includes over 100 mini-games they call "Challenges" for free. The game even saves the top 5 high scores for each game with your initials or nickname. Even the "2 in 1" and "5 in 1" compilations don't do that.

this game rocks!, one of the best compilations of which I have played, more often than not smells like a good quality game and that's great:) all game aspects are sufficiently correct and those a lot of gameplay hours is a point to be grateful! the game doesn't have a great personality but it's good stuff which you will kill a lot of your time, I recommend it:) in my opinion this game is one of the best of those many-in-one games from out there, I love some of the included games, as with some more work these games could have been released standalone!!. The only thing to note is that the game doesn't look too consistent, I mean that some things don't look familiar among each one, due to the quantity and diversity of the more than 10 included games I suppose. I love the title in general, try not to have left without one!;)

For 20$ an amazing value - 12 games, 120 challenges, stat tracking, cool sound, old school gameplay - might be the best value in a gba game ever!

D. Myers gave it a9:
Fun to pick up and play when you just need a break. Love the coins and challenges.

Jeremy M. gave it a10:
I agree with those other guys opinions except I think that it deserves a 10 rating for the huge amount of games and extra challenges that you get in a single affordable product. More games should be made like this one so you can actually keep playing them for months rather than for just a few days.

Daniel S. gave it a9:
No complaints with any of the games. They all are entertaining. The separate 120 challenges really extend the playing life of the game.
