The PlayStation also gets its share of classic Irem action, with three timeless arcade gems from the 80s:
- 10-Yard Fight (1983)
- Zippy Race (1983)
- Spartan X (1984)
Again, no memory card feature. But aside from that this is a great package, that has steadily been gaining a little more value than its Sega Saturn counterpart.

CD case, PlayStation CD-ROM disc, colour booklet, spine card.
