Put an arcade in your pocket with Midway Arcade on iPhone photo

Your iPhone needs this, badly. Warner Bros. has just released what can be scientifically referred to as a buttload of Midway games, all in a single App. For $0.99, you get ten classics: Spy Hunter, Rampage, Joust, Root Beer Tapper, Defender, and Arch Rivals, as well as Arcade favorites Air Hockey, Arcade Basketball, Pool, and Roll Ball. There's even a jukebox that plays your iTunes library. Two game packs are available for additional purchase, the first with NARC, Total Carnage, and APB, the second with Gauntlet, Gauntlet II, and Wizard of Wor.

Clearly, Root Beer Tapper is the most important game of this entire collection. Informative, too. I had no idea root beer tapping was so competitive. Midway Arcade is available now for iPhone and iPad

I can't imagine Spy Hunter handles well with touch controls.

Defender, Rampage, Arch Rivals & Pool for $0.99...SOLD!!! How can you resist a deal like this! I'll even throw in extra dollars for NARC & both Gauntlets.

Btw root beer tapping is crazy, still have the bite marks on my arm from the great root beer fest riot of '03 :)

NARC reminds me of those good old days of the 80's, when you could just put on a motorcycle helmet, go down to the nearest crack street and gun down all the drug dealers.

Good game. Really hard, but I recommend it just for the premise.

NARC is classic for sure.

Dang, more games than that N64 collection.
But this doesn't have Sinistar, so it sucks.

Oh Adam. That comment made me laugh and I didn't realize it was you until I re-read it just now.

The tapper machine at the Arcade I used to work for had the Budweiser logo on the mugs and it was actually yellow beer. Easily my favorite game in the building. (sorry arkanoid/Marvel vs Capcom 2)

That's because it was originally just called "Tapper". Root beer tapper is the same game, just with the budweiser stuff removed because it was construed as marketing beer to kids.
