So when I was a kid (back in the late 80's early 90's) arcades were the greatest place in the world to me. The one we always went to was a Circus Pizza. And there while I liked all games there were a few I loved and couldn't wait to play. There was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Road Blasters, T2: The Arcade Game, Rampage and S.T.U.N. Runner.



And unlike a lot of arcade games it barely got a home release. It was released on some Atari computer or Vectrex or something, but the best home release was on the Atari Lynx. Which I remember playing once at this cool video game store when I was young. It's a pretty impressive port considering and I've thought about buying a Lynx just to play that version.

But the game finally got a port on the third Midway Arcade Treasures compilation. However unlike the other two which had a good variety of arcade games, MAT3 was all racing games. Without nostalgia those 3d arcade racers do not age well. So I wasn't interested in the majority of the disc but I always kept it in mind to buy some day.

Well that day has finally come and I got my copy. And of course the first game I played was Stun Runner. I wish I had a wheel or something to play this game with. It's so awesome.

There's one game I haven't played yet. It's called Badlands. I never heard of it before, but I guess it's kinda like Super Sprint but with more stuff. The rest of the games are kinda bad. There's some San Fran Rush games which I've never cared for. Hydro Thunder/the same. Race Drivin' which I haven't tried yet, but am interested in. Offroad Thunder which is just terrible. And the old Super Offroad game which is awesome. I played a bunch of that last night as well. There's also some track pack with more race tracks as well. I more remember the SNES version, but did play it in the arcade some.
