Frogger and more addictive ’80s titles are coming to plug and play format soon, allowing you to get competitive with family & friends and create brand new gaming memories with these arcade classics.
This era was the golden age of arcade video games! Hardware costs were down, processing power was up. And the resultant games were so good that they soon blasted their way into popular culture and invaded high street.
At the forefront of the arcade revolution were titles such as Space Invaders, Ms Pac-Man, Frogger, Double Dragon and Mega Man 2.
Each unit is emblazoned with officially licensed artwork, giving them a colourful retro look which will appeal to the whole family and take you right back to those back-lit marquees. With an AV cable that plugs directly into your TV, set up is instantaneous and each version features classic arcade controls specific to the game. An accurate joystick allows for agile movement around the screen, while the fire buttons will happily take a pounding as you let loose those missiles or aim those kicks! Over to you, player one!
(Personally, I record gaming footage on an Elgato HD60 via HDMI. But how can I record footage from these games? Well, an AV to HDMI convertor can be bought on Ebay for around £5-6, so panic not!)
Titles like Space Invaders are so ingrained in popular culture that it’s easy to forget how they got there in the first place – by being enormous amounts of fun!
Joining the traditional arcade titles is Mega Man 2. One of the most popular Mega Man games of all time, it catapulted the series into the territory of iconic, essential retro games! The simple yet addictive gameplay feels right at home with the arcade-style controls.
