Reviews for the Genesis version were more mixed. The four reviewers of "Electronic Gaming Monthly" were enthusiastic about the genuinely arcade-perfect conversions and enjoyed the games, but questioned why this version took so long to come out and why "Bubbles" had been omitted. Sushi-X pointed out that due to the existence of the Genesis Nomad, the Genesis version was the first portable version of the games in the collection. "GamePro" criticized the compilation's lack of extras as compared to "Namco Museum", and opined that the games are "average". However, they singled out "Robotron: 2084" as the best of the five "with its swarming enemies that create genuine suspense."
