TRIVIA

Microsoft Arcade was released in 1993 in North America specifically for PC's running Windows 3.1. It was distributed in a single 3.5" high-density floppy disk used for the installation of the package.

The games featured here are actually not direct ports of the original arcade game code, but newly-written versions, with DIP switch settings not available in the original arcade games.

Each game also has its own Microsoft Help file.
