Game Overview

Midway Arcade Treasures 2 was developed by Digital Eclipse (Backbone Entertainment) and published by Midway Games. As the successor to the original 2003 compilation, this second volume shifted focus toward hardware-intensive 16-bit and 32-bit coin-op classics, digitized fighting games, and mature arcade hits from Williams, Bally, Midway, and Atari Games.

The library is headlined by competitive mainstays including Mortal Kombat II, Mortal Kombat 3, Primal Rage, and Pit-Fighter, alongside iconic co-op action games such as NARC, Gauntlet II, Total Carnage, and Xenophobe. Players navigate a 3D arcade lobby to launch games, adjust coin-op settings, and view unlockable historical archives.

On the Nintendo GameCube, Midway Arcade Treasures 2 features arcade-accurate emulation, customizable control mapping, smooth 60fps performance, local multiplayer support for up to four players, and historical documentary videos.
