jhd Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 One of my very favourite arcade games growing-up was Moon Patrol. Sadly, it does not seem to have been re-released as part of any compilations. I can certainly play it through MAME, but has it ever been officially re-released on a console? (I have the Atari 2600 version, of course, but I wanted something closer to the original.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str0m Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 No idea with regards to your question sorry, just posting to say I also love it. They have it at my local(ish) large retro arcade and I always have a few games on it when there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arcade version was released on Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Midway Collection 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade's_Greatest_Hits:_The_Midway_Collection_2 It's also available on modern consoles and mobile as part of the "Arcade Archives" series 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I remember having that one, but suddenly I can't find it! (also sigh) Unless I'm thinking of the PS2 release that also had Joust 2 (but no Moon Patrol).

I remember buying it brand new when it first came out. I still have it somewhere. Moon Patrol was also released with Spy Hunter on a 2-for-1 cartridge for the Game Boy Color right around that time. https://youtu.be/uUWDyTaVlq0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of arcade archives on various eshops, the arcade version also recently made it to the Irem arcade 1 cart on evercade.

Yeah I had all the other games except Moon Patrol so there must've been a separate Midway release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Midway Collection 2 for DC & PS2 has it. I played that to death on Apple II, lol. 1st game I ever completed a loop of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayler Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Why would just settle for the original, when you could enjoy the awesome reboot for the Intellevision Amico? I hear the limited editions are nearly sold out. The original arcade versions have also been promised to be released, all of them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on cartridge for Atari 8-bit and XEGS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
