Arcade Hits PS1 releases

[old man]

Hey guys, I'm trying to get a complete list of Hamster's Arcade Hits releases for the playstation. So far I only know of three:

Wolf Fang
Magical Drop
Moon Cresta

I think Donpachi might be another but I'm not sure.

We'll make this a general thread for PS1 arcade ports also. Releases that include a perfect port of an arcade game are OK as well (i.e. Strider 2). Here's what I know of (Please specify any that you know are part of the Arcade Hits line):

I don't see Arcade Hits: Shienryu on that list.

Also, I think the name of the Williams Collection is Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits. And at least one of these aren't arcade collections. The Jaleco Collection Vol. 1 is a compilation of Famicom games.

Seems like a fairly complete list. I was aware of most of these and had what I wanted, but never had heard of Image Fight/X-Multiply. Looks like a nice double pack of shooters.

Thanks for the info. I've updated my list.

[ubersaurus]

Metal Slug and Metal Slug X count? There's also Fatal Fury Wild Ambition, I believe that was a port of the Neo 64 fighter.

If you're listing the Namco Museum titles, don't forget the Japan exclusive "Encore" which featured Rolling Thunder.

The PS1 Arcade Collections have a unique feature:


Twin Stick Mod Guide: Console Arcade Method (http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=290325#p290325)

Twinstick without expense or mod - A simple Menu Setup
An undocumented feature via Two Player controllers

PS1 allowed custom controls in the Arcade Classics series. Player two controller can be customized to work with player one. Robotron Player 1 can control movement and Player two can fire. Now if two Arcade digital sticks are plugged in, the player two stick can be made as the directional fire buttons. See where I am leading? Single player now has Dual Stick control just like the original Arcade! When I first discovered this I was truly back in Twin Stick heaven! Notice there are no hardware mods, just configurations in the game menu.

Fully customizable controllers and Arcade Dip Switches for lives and difficulty, Unlike the newer console Arcade Treasures compilation releases.

Thanks everybody. I'll update my list later (don't have time right now). What about the King of Fighters games (i.e. KOF 99')? Should they be included as well?

[fahlim003]

I believe Hamster did a re-release of Raiden DX on PS1, for what it's worth. I'll look into some others later. As for your list, you're also omitting Raiden Project (The Raiden Project in North America/Europe) also. However, I believe Raiden even got a solo release on PS1, in Japan only.

[motley6]

Don't forget four separate Taito arcade releases: Night Striker, Arkanoid Returns, Arkanoid 2000, and Pu-Li-Ru-La.

And also Irem Arcade Classics compilation with 10 Yard Fight, Kung Fu Master, and Zippy Race.

[old man]

Well, it's been a minute, but I finally got back to this. I still need to check up on the KOF 9x' series. I have 99' so I should probably go ahead and put it on there at least. fahlim003, Raiden Project is on there. You missed it. :) Anyway, if anyone comes up with anymore let me know.
