Overview
Description

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale built around squads of “Legends” with unique abilities, praised for its fast, fluid movement, gunplay, and ping communication system.

Arcade Classics bundles three iconic arcade experiences—Pong, Missile Command, and Centipede—each presented in both their original form and a revised Sega version. The compilation captures the nostalgic feel of early arcade gaming while offering a convenient single cartridge for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. A Game Gear variant swaps Pong for Ultrapong, giving handheld players a fresh twist on the classic lineup. Developed by Al Baker & Associates and published by Sega, this 1996 release delivers simple, addictive gameplay perfect for quick sessions or extended play.

So much fun

Apex Legends has been my go-to lately. Strong hero design. One gripe: steep aim skill ceiling. Would recommend.
