Microsoft Return of Arcade Anniversary Edition

[@bobbystar101]

@dave4shmups I don't think its emulation, I know microsoft arcade (the original win3.1 version) contained arcade games that seemed arcade perfect, so you might expect them to be emulated but actually they were written from scratch. I could be wrong in expecting that to be the case with return of arcade though.

this one was a sequel to Microsoft Arcade which came out in 1993 for Windows 3.1 this one originally came out for Windows 95

Thanks for showing the game play look of these. I may purchase this on ebay. I wanted to see mainly how the galaxian game looks. It looks fairly close to the original arcade coin-op game. I wish it was possible to get the exact same game as the coin-op machines had, without paying a huge amount of money for an actual Midway machine.

Hope you had nice holidays, all the best for 2010!

The emulation looks perfect! Are you using a joystick to play this? I just wish Pac-Man Championship Edition was available on more platforms then the XBOX 360.

@pat20105 I ordered it from Microsoft's web site years ago. But I don't know if it is still available.

One would think that Microsoft software would be suffering less compatibility issues on Vista/Windows7 than non-microsoft software. I have the earliest version intended for Windows3.11 / Windows95. thanks for showing this 5/5

I'm using a mouse for Pole Position and the keyboard for all the rest.

if you put pacman on full speed and 5 live its the arcade version i just played it the other day on a real arcade and it has 5 lives and moves faster

So as I understand it this was made in 2000 while the other was mid90s. Does this one like Revenge of Arcade work on a windows 7/8 64bit release too?

[@marlinlee]

I couldn't say. My latest PC is running 32bit Vista.

Pretty cool but I just use MAME.
