However, reviews generally criticized that the standard PlayStation gamepad does not work well with the games in the collection, particular those which used paddle controllers and trackballs when they were originally released, though the PlayStation Mouse is supported and was considered a better option. A reviewer for Next Generation elaborated that "Unlike the Williams disc ... the history is narrated over a slideshow of memorabilia, and the insightful clips run longer, dispelling ancient rumors and relating anecdotes of Atari coin-op's golden age." Most also applauded the selection of games as consisting almost entirely of classics which remained enjoyable in spite of the gaming industry's advances over the years. The later Super NES version was announced by Midway as their final release for any "16-bit" console.
