Game play

Arcade Classics for Sega Game Gear is a collection of three early arcade hits by Atari Corporation.

The games included are Ultrapong, Centipede, and Missile Command.

Classics

Unlike some collections, these three games really are classics, in the sense of being definitive games.

Ultrapong is a version of Pong, which was the first hit video game, in the 1970's, both in arcades and in home versions. Atari's early success hinged on this game.

Centipede was the first major video game designed by a woman, and proved to have a broader appeal than the more militaristic games that came before it.

1980's Missile Command was among the most popular video games of all time. It remains popular today.

Graphics

The opening graphics are well-drawn, while the graphics within the individual games are like in the original early arcade video games.
