Thanks Knite for the tip.
The first 2 games are must buys in my opinion.

When the hell is Midway going to do gamers right by making these games available for Live play. Arcade treasures was a ton of fun to play, but I could never get over the fact that I couldn't play anyone online in MK2 or 3. Top that with the non saving issue (unlock Smoke in MK3 and the next time you play you have to unlock him again) and it sort of ruined the experience for me. I'd be willing to pay $50 easy for these collections if they only included online play in a few of the games.

I'd love to have Hydro Thunder on the PSP. Or the DS for that matter.

I think this will be $20 well spent. Though I can't play Offroad without the wheel the arcade had. I loved spinning it violently to hit the turns perfectly.

I'm hoping they emulate the location based network play of RUSH:The Rock and RUSH 2049 with Live! That would be outstanding.

I honestly doubt they will. The price won't cut it for the cost to implement it. We can hope, but I doubt any of the classic collection are going to include any sort of network code aside from uploading high scores.

I'd like some more features, developer interviews, etc. I find those to be really fascinating.

...but I already have most of these for my Dreamcast?

Midway forgot to mention "...eight classic less-than-unexciting arcade racing games..."

As much as I loved the 2nd Treasure, I'm passing on this craptacular compilation. Midway you suck!
