I picked up a new game today. I figured I couldn't go wrong with Midway Arcade Treasures! I mean look at this list of awesome retro arcade games:

1. * SpyHunter
2. * Defender
3. * Gauntlet
4. * Joust
5. * Paperboy
6. * Rampage
7. * Marble Madness
8. * Robotron 2084
9. * Smash TV
10. * Joust 2
11. * Bubbles
12. * RoadBlasters
13. * Defender II
14. * Blaster
15. * Rampart
16. * Sinistar
17. * Super Sprint
18. * 720
19. * Toobin'
20. * KLAX
21. * SPLAT!
22. * Satan's Hollow
23. * Vindicators

Hell, Yeah! Robotron alone is worth the measly $3 I paid for all this awesomeness!

Well, that's what I thought, anyway. Turns out that most of these titles suffer from awful emulation (at least on GCN). Low framerates, twitchy controls, weird sound glitches.   Why do I bother anymore?

I coulda told you that two years ago, hombre!

@  gamingeek you think Okami is krazy for names try romance of three kingdoms 10, or nobunaga amabtion games where there is a good 600 generals and so many have  family names and shit so there be like 20 charcters with same sr name and remember fathers from sons, to cusions is just insane

Hmm, Joust 2. What changed in the second part?

Joust 2 is a game that I never played until today. Wikipedia has a good description of gameplay:

"Joust 2 is much more complicated than Joust, featuring more characters, 100 distinct waves (levels), music (composed by Chris Granner), and digitized voices. Perhaps the most significant change is the "Transform" button. At any point in the game, a player can choose to transform his/her ostrich mount into a pegasus and back again. The pegasus adds several layers of strategy to the game. The pegasus falls much more quickly than the ostrich and can be used to quickly attack an opponent from above. While using the pegasus it is harder to maintain flight, but the collision properties often overcome enemies. The pegasus is especially useful against bats. Current world record holders use the pegasus as much, or more than the ostrich mount."

It's one of the few games that doesn't seem to have emulation problems.
