Play Sega Arcade Gallery Online

Sega Arcade Gallery came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, developed by Digital Eclipse. It was part of that wave of retro compilations that felt perfectly suited to a handheld, letting you carry a little piece of the arcade in your pocket. This one focused on four specific titles from Sega's back catalog, a smaller, more curated selection compared to some of the bigger collections of the time.

You control different vehicles and characters across the included games, like the sports car in OutRun or the running soldier in Space Harrier. The main objective is always straightforward: get to the end of the course, achieve a high score, or simply survive as long as possible. Signature mechanics include OutRun's branching path system where you choose your route at the end of each stage, and Space Harrier's constant forward momentum combined with free aiming in any direction. The pacing is fast and the difficulty is largely unforgiving, a direct carryover from the quarter-munching origins of these games. It feels like holding a concentrated dose of 1980s arcade challenge, condensed onto a small screen.
