6 forgotten arcade classics of the 90s
Arcade Classics is a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game featuring three classic arcade games: Pong, Missile Command, and Centipede, plus a revised Sega version of each one. A version of the game was also released for the Sega Game Gear, with Ultrapong replacing Pong.

Reception
Arcade Classics was panned by critics. Reviews commented that Arcade Classics includes very few games compared to other retro compilations, that it fails to recreate the experience the games offered in the arcades, that the "enhanced" versions offer nothing but mild cosmetic changes, and that the overly "busy" backgrounds in the enhanced version of Centipede interfere with the gameplay.
