Individual downloads of Ghosts ‘n Goblins are also available as part of the bundle. The rest are divided into three packs of 10 games, each spanning a different time period: Arcade Revolution (1989–1992), Arcade Evolution (1992–2001), and Dawn of the Arcade (1984–1988).
The games run in an emulator that allows you to rewind gameplay, choose difficulty, alter game speed, and utilize nostalgic visual filters to recreate retro arcade CRT screens.
