Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play was given mixed reviews from game critics. On the review aggregator Game Rankings, the game has an average score of 62%, based on 35 reviews.[1] On Metacritic, the game has an average score of 63 out of 100, based on 24 reviews.[2] The collection has been criticized for lacking bonus content, for its "bare-bones" presentation, lengthy load times, and for making some games look "stretched", (like Paperboy), or "shrunk", (like Sinistar), although one can press the L trigger and hit the Square button when a game is paused to enable a secret functionality that displays the games in their original aspect ratio.[7]

gollark: Well, it's a use, just not a useful use.
gollark: 64k *fluid* cells? That's so useless.
gollark: Probably due to the lack of tooling for producing them on-demand.
gollark: Fluids are, for some weird coincidental reason, mostly produced in bulk.
gollark: Why would they not?!
