Thanks MCP. I remember running this on a SLOW 68030 PC, and it was very playable, and identical to the arcade experience!

PS. Thanks for the screenshots and updates!

Thank you themacmeister for uploading! I've added an archive combining the Joust upload with this one for the full Digital Arcade experience, and included some patches that are supposed to convert Robotron to Stargate, and some additional photos from the web.

This is indeed the three games in the Williams Digital Arcade; if you put them in the same directory as the Joust upload on this site, the "Digital Arcade" game launcher will work for all three games. I'll fix up this page some more over the next couple days with screenshots and an improved archive.
