Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits Volume 1 is basically a time machine for your N64—it throws you straight back to smoky arcades with quarters lined up on the cabinet. You’ve got Defender, where you’re frantically blasting aliens while rescuing astronauts (way harder than it sounds), and Joust, which is just as weirdly satisfying as ever—flapping around on an ostrich, bonking enemy knights off their birds. The controls feel a little stiff compared to modern games, but that’s part of the charm. After a few rounds, you’ll either love the brutal simplicity or remember why these games used to eat all your allowance.
It’s not the prettiest collection, but the pixel-perfect emulation means no weird compromises—just pure, unfiltered arcade chaos. Perfect for when you want something quick between bigger games, or just need to prove you’ve still got reflexes.
