1987, what a year – Homer hit TV screens with the debut of The Simpsons, RoboCop gave us 20 seconds to comply, Michael Jackson was being a BAD boy, and gamers were playing 1943: The Battle of Midway, Avengers and Black Tiger in the arcades.
These three classic games can now be relived on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with the release of the first pack of titles from Capcom Arcade Cabinet. This first pack is available to purchase from today on the North American PlayStation Store and tomorrow on the European PlayStation Store and in both territories on XBLA at a price of $4.99/€4.99/£3.99/400MSP.
Each of the game packs from Capcom Arcade Cabinet works with the Capcom Arcade ‘platform.’ Players start their trip down memory lane with Black Tiger, which is available to download for FREE. Downloading Black Tiger will also give access to the Capcom Arcade platform which provides additional features including DIP switch functionality, a music player, and the ability to capture and share screenshots or video. Thereafter, packs of titles can be purchased and then become available to play through the platform.
In 1943: The Battle of Midway players pilot a P-38 Lightning over the Pacific Ocean and take on waves of enemy fighters, bombers and aircraft carriers in this vertical scrolling shooter.
It is time to get tough on the streets of Paradise City and as players work to rescue six girls from the clutches of gangland boss Geshita and his henchmen in the vertical scrolling beat ‘em up Avengers. Black Tiger heads to a fantasy realm where a bold barbarian encounters all manner of creatures and enemies in classic side scrolling and platforming action.
