The set allows you to play different games. 720° allows you to play as a skateboarder riding through the city and performing simple tricks. In Arch Rivals, we play basketball. Championship Sprint is a classic racing game. In Defender, we protect the planet from alien invasions.

The compilation features Achievements and Trophies. Local multiplayer and online rankings are also available. However, the graphic design has remained almost unchanged. The creators only adapted the resolution to HD screens.
