Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits brings together four of Williams Entertainment's best-known games from the early '80s. Nearly two decades after their original releases, Defender, Robotron: 2084, Joust, and Sinistar are presented in portable form without any enhancements or changes, although their aspect ratios have been altered so that the play areas are formatted to fit the dimensions of the Game Boy Advance's screen. The four games are selectable from a single-screen menu displaying miniature renditions of the original arcade cabinets and marquee art.
