Hamster’s “Arcade Archives” is a line of emulated arcade titles released digitally for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The latest Arcade Archives title, Phelios, is out now.
The series gives players a chance to enjoy the original arcade versions of games at home (legally!)
The Arcade archives line includes both well-known classics and lesser-known obscurities.
We recently reviewed the previous release in the line, which was the all-time classic platformer The Newzealand Story.
The latest release in the line came out on 1st February 2023 and is perhaps one of the less well-known titles in the series (at least to me): Phelios. The game is a vertically-scrolling shmup originally released in arcades by Namco in 1989. This release uses the Japanese ROM of the game, but has menus in English.
