I meant a compo of Sega's ARCADE games.  I don't recall Sega putting one of those out.

Sega Ages has After Burner II, Outrun and Space Harrier on it. :ponder:

Never heard of that one...

But what about compilations with Turbo, Zaxxon, Congo Bongo, Tac-Scan, et. al. ?

I love this idea!

I'll be one of the first to get a copy.

Spy Hunter rocked and I've wanted to play 720 for a while.

:D

Multi-taps and memory cards.....those were cool back in the day. :D

I'll get the Xbox version of this great Atari/Midway/Williams arcade compilation.

There better be a second one with Tournament Cyberball 2049, Gauntlet II, Stun Runner, Hydra, Major Havoc, Atari Tetris, Hard Drivin' and Star Wars: The Arcade Game. Although I don't know if Midway could publish home versions of Tetris and Star Wars.

I'd love to see an old school Sega collection, I'm talking Moon Cresta, Space Odyssey, Eliminator, that era.

There really aren't many companies that can support a whole collection. How short would a list of Stern's greates hits be?

Anteater
Armored Car
Astro Invader
Berzerk
Calipso
Dark Planet
Frenzy
Lost Tomb
Minefield
Moonwar
Rescue
Star Jacker

Am I missing any? Plus, does anyone even own the rights to these games any more?

atari did make the Star Wars acrade game, but they only had a license to produce the game in the arcade, they cant rerelease it as their own property

midway owns the rights to all the "atari games" atari arcade games, because they bought up atari games, renamed them midway west.. they made a few games, but due to cutbacks in the arcade industry, midway was forced to close midway west/atari games about a year ago (i THINK)

What's funny, is that maybe Infogrames(now Atari) might be able to release a home version of Star Wars: The Arcade game. Parker Brothers released it for 8-bit consoles and computers. Hasbro bought Parker Brothers. Infogrames bought Hasbro's video game division. :D Now if Infogrames would just buy Midway, we would all be set.

There is a difference remember between Atari Games (the arcade company) and Atari the home console/computer company. Two divisions, both separately sold off. My guess is that we have Midway owning the arcade part and Infogrames has the home console part. So Midway should be able to release all the Atari arcade games without problem...

Midway just announced a monster compilation disc called Midway Arcade Treasures for release this fall on Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Microsoft X-Box. It will have the following games on it:

Spy Hunter
Defender II
Gauntlet
Joust
Paperboy
Rampage
Marble Madness
Robotron: 2084
Smash TV
Joust 2
Bubbles
RoadBlasters
Blaster
Rampart
Sinistar
Super Sprint
720°
Toobin
Klax
SPLAT!
Satan's Hollow
Vindicators

It's nice to see those all being released in a compilation. Most of those are Atari Games and Williams titles though. As a classic gaming enthusiast and historian, it's also sad not to see those being released under those names or having it directly acknowledged.

Midway owns all pre-split (pre-1984) roms (besides all the titles released under Atari Games of course), but not necessarily
the trademarks/copyrights on the game names and identifyable characters. Also of course they don't have access to the Atari name or logo anymore.

If you're talking about the actual arcade version, Infogrames/Atari would have to lease the roms from Midway, as well as get a license from LucasArts for the Star Wars name. If you're talking about the bad 8-bit translation, they would just need the license from LucasArts.

I don't see why more companies can't release larger compilations like this one... Infrogrames tried that with Atari Anniversary Edition... 12 games is alot, but 22 games in one package is simply unbelievable! Konami also released 10 games in it's Konami Arcade Classics for PS 1... Damn is that Pooyan game tough! I still will hold onto my Midway Arcade's Greatest Hits: Collection 2, just to play Moon Patrol, Root Beer Tapper and Burgertime, which aren't in the new collection...
