Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play is a 2005 compilation of classic arcade games originally from Midway Games, Atari Games, and Williams, made available on the PlayStation Portable. After Midway declared bankruptcy, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment—which secured rights to a large portion of the Midway, Atari, and Williams arcade catalogs—reissued the title on the PlayStation Store on June 28, 2010.
This collection features a total of 21 arcade games, including seven prominent classics from the golden era such as Defender, Joust, Marble Madness, Paperboy, Sinistar, Spy Hunter, and Wizards of Wor.
Reception
The critical response to Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play was mixed, with an average score of 62% on Game Rankings and 63 out of 100 on Metacritic. Reviewers pointed out the absence of additional bonus materials and the exclusion of popular titles like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. The overall presentation was characterized as minimalistic, accompanied by extended loading durations and visual distortions in certain games—specifically Paperboy and Sinistar appeared either stretched or compressed. Nonetheless, players can access a hidden option to switch to the original aspect ratio by inputting a particular button combination during gameplay.
