Lastly, the official Hamster Interactive website describes the Arcade Archives initiative as follows:
Arcade Archives
The “Arcade Archives” (ACA) series is developed with the concept of faithfully reproducing classic arcade games, staying true to its original. In ORIGINAL MODE, you’ll find a variety of convenient features that make revisiting these classic titles even more enjoyable. These include difficulty and display settings, button remapping, rapid-fire options, the ability to create multiple save files at any time, and even a rewind function to undo your last move. Some titles also offer special settings that recreates the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day. In addition, in HI SCORE MODE and CARAVAN MODE, you can compete for the best scores with players around the world through Online Rankings.
Arcade Archives 2
“Arcade Archives 2” series introduces two brand-new modes, TIME ATTACK MODE and SPLIT SCREEN MODE, in addition to the ORIGINAL MODE, HI SCORE MODE, and CARAVAN MODE from Arcade Archives. SPLIT SCREEN MODE allows multiple players to play together locally on a single console. TIME ATTACK MODE focuses on how quickly you can complete the game, regardless of the score you achieve. What’s more, with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support, the gameplay can be reproduced even more accurately, closer to the original arcade experience.
