Reception
Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play received mixed reviews from critics. On the review aggregator GameRankings, the game has an average score of 62%, based on 35 reviews. On Metacritic, it has an average score of 63 out of 100, based on 24 reviews. The collection has been criticized for lacking bonus content, the absence of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, as well as for its "bare-bones" presentation, lengthy load times, and for making some games look "stretched",, or "shrunk",, although one can press the L trigger and hit the Square button when a game is paused to display the games in their original aspect ratio.
