Negative Positive
Title: I love the arcade versions, the GBA version stinks!
Review: This collection is a disaster I'm afraid. I have a real Defender machine in my kitchen and MAME is the only thing I play on my PC, so I know about these things!Defender is a poor re-write, unlike the faithful reproductions (emulation?) in the Namco Museum cart. Defender's movement and "physics" are all wrong - very poor indeed.Robotron is unplayable because there is no way to lock the direction you fire in (ie you can't fire backwards) - Jeff Minter came up with the simple idea of holding down the fire button to lock fire in a certain direction - shame these guys didn't copy the idea.Joust seems like the most faithful reproduction, but maybe that's because I play more Defender. There is still plenty wrong with the Joust game as well :-(Sinistar is too fast to play, but I am not an expert on this game.I am a serious retrogame freak, but I'm going to take this piece of garbage back to the shop!
