In “Time Attack Mode,” you compete to see who can clear the game in the shortest time. This mode focuses on how quickly you can complete the game, regardless of the score you achieve.
Additionally, functionality has been significantly enhanced.
Multiple save slots have been implemented instead of just one, along with a rewind feature that allows players to retry gameplay and a quick start feature for those who want to dive straight into the game.
Furthermore, VRR support has been added, enabling more accurate reproduction of the original arcade game‘s experience.
Please enjoy legendary arcade classics that defined an era, now more fun and more user-friendly in Arcade Archives 2.
