I've been waiting for this to be released since I first saw the announcement for it. I'll probably wait to get the Xbox version when that comes out so I can make Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 my purchase of the week. I hope that Rampage turns out better in this compilation than it did in the PSX's Arcade Party Pak.

That sucks, a bunch of em are on that midway arcade party pack already. They also STILL forgot or deleted APB off the lineup. Damn them.

[bahn]

word. I loved me some APB.

Man A.P.B in the arcade when I was little. That unit with the seat and steering wheel= bliss. I'd spend my whole 5 dollars of tokens on that thing and it'd last all day. 5 bucks now = 30 mins of game at a arcade now.

If Midway doesn't put the original NARC on the remake they're working on, they better bake me a great big apology cake.

[bahn]

..looks like you better start shopping for the baking flour.

NARC, Gauntlet II, and APB didn't make it onto the PSX Midway collections because of emulation issues - the PSX couldn't handle emulating them. I guess they still haven't got it figured out on PS2. Bleh.

Oh, and APB rocks me.
