Arcade’s Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1 is a compilation published for the SNES by Digital Eclipse in 1996. It bundles six legendary coin-op classics—Asteroids, Battlezone, Centipede, Missile Command, Super Breakout, and Tempest—bringing authentic arcade action to the 16-bit console.
How to Play
Each included game focuses on survival and high-score chasing, from defending cities against warheads to blasting space rocks. Use the standard SNES layout for menus and gameplay:
| Gamepad control: | |
|
↑↓←→ |
| action button A | Z |
| action button B | X |
| action buttons X, Y | A, S |
| shoulder buttons L, R | Q, E |
| SELECT | Shift |
| START | Enter |
Tips
- In Asteroids, avoid shooting large rocks indiscriminately. Focus on breaking down and clearing one asteroid at a time so the screen doesn’t fill with smaller, faster hazards.
- When playing Missile Command, remember that your defensive blasts linger. Lead your targets and try to catch multiple incoming warheads in a single explosion to conserve ammo.
- In Centipede, prioritize clearing the mushrooms near the bottom of the screen. This gives you more room to maneuver and slows the centipede’s descent.
