Play Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits Online

I picked up Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits for the Sega Genesis back in 1996. It was put together by Digital Eclipse, and it felt like a solid collection for the system at the time. Having a bunch of those old Williams arcade games on a cartridge was a straightforward way to revisit that era without needing a pocket full of quarters.

You control different characters depending on the game, from the warrior in Joust to the ship in Defender. The main goal is always to survive and score as many points as you can. In Robotron: 2084, you maneuver through waves of enemies, firing in eight directions to rescue survivors. Sinistar demands you collect crystals to build bombs while avoiding the roaring boss. The pacing is relentless, especially in games like Defender where the screen scrolls automatically and the difficulty ramps up quickly. Playing it feels like a direct test of your reflexes and memory for enemy patterns.
