Williams Arcade’s Greatest Hits brings a collection of golden-age arcade classics to the Sega Genesis. Released in 1996, this retro compilation includes five legendary titles: Defender, Defender II, Joust, Robotron: 2084, and Sinistar. Each game offers an authentic arcade experience, preserving the intense difficulty and distinct gameplay mechanics that made the originals famous.
How to Play
Choose from any of the five included games at the main menu. Since the original games used a variety of control schemesโranging from twin-stick setups in Robotron to thrust controls in Defenderโthe Genesis port adapts them to the standard controller. Use your D-pad to move, aim, or steer, and use the A, B, and C buttons to jump, fire, and deploy special abilities. Press Start to insert a coin and begin playing.
Tips
- Joust: Remember that the winner of a collision is the one whose lance is higher. Rapidly tap the flap button to gain altitude above the enemy buzzards.
- Sinistar: Focus on mining crystals from asteroids to build your sinibombs. You will need them to defeat the boss once he is fully assembled.
