Arcade Archives VIDEO HUSTLER
Experience the thrill of the pocket!
"VIDEO HUSTLER" is a sports game released by KONAMI in 1981.
This game is a simplified version of pool (pocket billiards). You strike the white cue ball to roll it, hit six balls, and sink them into the pockets.
The game’s most distinctive feature is that the score can vary greatly depending on the numbers on the balls and the different multipliers assigned to each pocket.
The “Arcade Archives” (ACA) series is developed with the concept of faithfully reproducing classic arcade games, staying true to its original.
In ORIGINAL MODE, you’ll find a variety of convenient features that make revisiting these classic titles even more enjoyable. These include difficulty and display settings, button remapping, rapid-fire options, the ability to create multiple save files at any time, and even a rewind function to undo your last move. Some titles also offer special settings that recreates the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day. In addition, in HI SCORE MODE and CARAVAN MODE, you can compete for the best scores with players around the world through Online Rankings.
“Arcade Archives 2” series introduces a brand-new mode called TIME ATTACK MODE, in addition to the ORIGINAL MODE, HI SCORE MODE, and CARAVAN MODE from Arcade Archives. TIME ATTACK MODE focuses on how quickly you can complete the game, regardless of the score you achieve.
What’s more, with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support, the gameplay can be reproduced even more accurately, closer to the original arcade experience.
Please enjoy these iconic arcade games that defined an era with the “Arcade Archives” series!
