Play Konami Collector's Series : Arcade Advanced Online

Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, a time when handheld collections of classic arcade games were becoming more common. Published by Konami, it bundled six of their older titles into one cartridge, letting players revisit hits like Frogger, Time Pilot, and Gyruss on the go. The selection covers a decent range of genres, from maze navigation to shooters, all originally designed for quarter-munching arcade cabinets.

You control different characters or vehicles depending on the game, but the main goal is always to survive and score as many points as possible. In Frogger, you guide a frog across busy roads and treacherous rivers, timing each hop carefully. Gyruss has you piloting a ship that moves in a circle, firing at enemies approaching from all sides in a wraparound space arena. The games play screen by screen, with short, intense stages that get faster and more crowded with hazards. It feels straightforward but challenging, a faithful—if no-frills—way to experience these classics. Playing it today, you get a clear sense of how arcade design prioritized quick, repeatable action over long-term progression.
