    It’s a highly recommended compilation for old timers (myself included), but maybe newbies will not appreciate the games as much.

    As with most classic arcade compilations, the games here tend to hold up pretty well, and for the most part, they're very close to the arcade originals.

    If you're not tear-jerked over MK's greatness, it's doubtful that the other games will have you reaching for a handkerchief.

    You must buy this rad $20 collection of 20 good, bad, and butt-ugly games. [Dec 2004, p.170]

    Despite my gripes, there's enough good stuff in here to justify the purchase. Think of "Pit Fighter," "Spy Hunter II," and the like as elaborate mini-games that you can try once and then ignore forever. No matter what your gaming tastes, you'll get your money's worth.

    Today’s modern gamers who have not experienced the joys of the 1980s and 1990s arcade will probably be underwhelmed.

    It's huge, nicely-reproduced and sells for a great price. But the genuine classics part? Well, not so much. To be frank, there are two types of games in Treasures 2: decrepit hits, and obscure leftovers.
