Why not sign up for a (free) account?
 
It seems Arcade Essentials comes with updated versions of Gallaga/SpaceInvaders, Qix, Q-Bert, Bust-a-Move and Missle Command. Looks fun too for 500 points.

I'm curious to see how FLUX differentiates itself from BEAT. It's such an interesting choice to close out the series.
