It is an extremely demanding, but masterable, game. It helps that it was the game to introduce the cool Williams sound system to the world. Paperboy: This won't be the version to finally give us an arcade-quality Paperboy experience because that depends on having a handlebar controller. Root Beer Tapper: Fun for a short while, but overrated. Cyberball: An interesting game, but it hasn't aged well in a world where sports games get yearly incremental releases. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3: Finally, a Midway X-box Live Arcade game that hasn't seen previous life in a Midway Arcade Treasures release! Although its being left out of MAT2 (while the original MK3 was included) can be fairly regarded as publisher stinginess. I am not an expert in fighting games, but I don't think the MKs stand the test of time. Might be fun for the nostalgia, but not otherwise.
