Relive classic Capcom titles from 1987
February 19, in the year of our Lord 2013 –
1987, what a year – 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.
