Lego dimensions midway arcade
Six months after its initial release and with more than one million units sold in the UK alone, it is safe to say that LEGO Dimensions has been a major success story for both Warner Bros. Interactive and TT Games. With the likes of The Simpsons, Doctor Who and Ghostbusters already released, this fourth wave of expansions brings us the final announced level pack, Midway Arcade.
Before we even begin to delve into the pack, it is clear that this expansion is going to be a little different from the rest. This isn’t based on a highly successful TV Show, or soon to be rebooted cult movie, but on a collection of retro video games from the 1980s, it seems a little niche for the wider LEGO Dimensions audience.
For those that aren’t familiar (or under 30), Midway is actually quite an important part of gaming history, having been one of the major players in the arcade scene throughout the 80’s and 90’s. They were not only the western publisher for Namco classics such as Pac-Man and Galaga but also the creators of one of the most popular fighting game of all time, Mortal Kombat. While the company made a number of attempts to revive the love for their older stock with compilation games at the turn of the century, Midway sadly filed for bankruptcy in 2009 with Warner Bros. purchasing the majority of their assets.
While Mortal Kombat continues to do great things for Warner, the wealth of arcade classics from Midway’s golden days hasn’t seen the light of day for some time, besides another compilation release in 2012, that is. Could the LEGO Dimensions platform be the unique opportunity to bring these pixelated beauties back to the forefront?
As this is a LEGO Dimensions pack, we get the physical builds to deal with first. So, what’s in the box?
Interestingly, Warner and TT have decided not to use a character from their many gaming assets and instead gone with a rather generically named ‘Gamer Kid’ minifigure. This is actually the first, and currently only character created for LEGO Dimensions to represent a franchise. The two additional accessories, however, take a lot of inspiration from Midway’s lengthy history as we get an Arcade Machine and vehicle from one of the classic games, Spy Hunter.
Being a new creation by LEGO, the set exclusive minifigure features LEGO original yellow ‘skin’ on both the headpiece and his hands and while the legs are the same used by both Homer Simpson and Marty McFly, the torso piece is stunningly original. The design on the main body piece is a t-shirt under a black jacket and while it isn’t mind-blowing in detail compared to the Ghostbusters or Cyberman figures, it still looks brilliant with the retro pixelated Manti Lander on the green t-shirt.
The headpiece is fairly generic, with a cheesy grin and very little other detail. That said, the hairpiece does a great job of creating the teenage, long-haired, scruffy look to match the character’s origins. Accessory-wise, Gamer Kid has a can of soda, much like Homer’s beer can, and a nickel coin.
In-game, Gamer Kid actually turns out to be one of the most versatile characters in the game with a plethora of useful skills, he also has a unique mechanic for activating his skills. Rather than having a number of different buttons assigned to each power, you can cycle through them, find the skill you want to use and then activate it by drinking from his soda can, similar to Homer’s belching power.
The powers available are quite impressive and each skill changes the t-shirt that our retro gamer is wearing; The default t-shirt is used for Laser vision, a blue shirt featuring a lightning bolt for Super Strength, a gray shirt with a Super Mario’esque superstar for Invulnerability, a yellow shirt with Hermes’ feet for Super Speed, and a white shirt featuring a ghost face makes you invisible to other characters. As you can see, the Gamer Kid character features quite the array of skills, making him one of the most valuable assets for completionists.
Despite its incredible quick build, the arcade machine is a delight to construct, utilizing mostly generic LEGO pieces with a few pre-printed panels, the lack of stickers is a fantastic decision here. The machine is designed to be a replica of one of Midway’s famous games, Defender, and the detail added to the logo and impressive screen panels are superb. Looking back over the four waves of LEGO Dimensions so far, aesthetically this is one of the best accessories available for the game.
It’s not all about the looks though, as this Arcade Machine is one of those special accessories which offers a unique gameplay mechanic not available anywhere else. Through your adventures in LEGO Dimensions, you may have come across a number of plug-in points with ‘DEFENDER’ and ‘ROBOTRON’ plastered all over them, these are arcade game activation points. While riding the arcade machine you can dock with one of these points and begin playing one of twenty classic Midway games.
The G-6155 Spy Hunter model does do a fantastic job of bringing the pixelated classic vehicle to life, it looks like something out of a popular Bond movie. The simple white design creates a slick, streamlined 1980s Ferrari look which uses brand new wheel arch pieces to add that special touch. In-game, the vehicle doesn’t bring anything unique or special to your LEGO Dimensions experience, with basic abilities which match the starter packs Batmobile. The Spy Hunter can, however, be transformed into both a speedboat, The Interdiver, and an aircraft, Aerial Spyhunter, by unlocking the additional blueprints.
With the building fun complete, let’s move on to the expansion level itself. Placing our retro gamer on the LEGO Dimensions toy pad will automatically unlock the exclusive level included within the pack.
The narrative seems to have been a second thought here, but the basic premise is that Gamer Kid is walking past his local arcade when suddenly pixelated 1980s characters from the games escape and begin running amok. In order to end the chaos, Gamer Kid must use his awesome gaming skills and newly found superpowers to enter the games, defeat them and get high scores. As you work your way through the level you must overcome a number of themed puzzles in the ‘real world’ in order to unlock the arcade port and enter the gaming world, with each room offering you a different Midway classic to enjoy.
The level itself actually offers very little when compared to the extensive LEGO creations for Doctor Who and Ghostbusters, but the unique game-in-game trope makes a massive difference to the overall gameplay value of the level, and while you may not spend all that long exploring the arcade world, playing the individual retro games does mean that gameplay is significantly more varied from the standard LEGO game mechanics.
As an added bonus, the exclusive level isn’t the only in-game addition you get from this pack. As with all LEGO Dimensions figures, Gamer Kid has the ability to unlock Midway’s hub world. It is in the hub world where we learn the full extent of what Warner has made available with all of the promised “20 Classic Arcade Games” available in-world, once you’ve collected all the gold bricks that is.
Overall, the Midway Arcade level pack is a mixed bag, it offers exclusive figures, new gaming mechanics and a smorgasbord of skills, but the additional level content is less impressive and unlikely to wow the majority of the LEGO Dimensions fans.
You need to have a genuine love for retro gaming to fully appreciate this pack and sadly I don’t believe that is something that many younger collectors will have. That said, the smaller retro-loving audience is going to love every aspect of Midway Arcade.
Midway Arcade is one of the many franchises featured in Year 1 of LEGO Dimensions. It is based on the Midway Arcade Treasures games.

Background
Midway Games was an American video game developer and publisher. Its titles included Mortal Kombat, Spy Hunter, Tron, Rampage, the Cruis'n series, NFL Blitz and NBA Jam. Midway was once also the international distributor for Namco's arcade games including Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaxian and Galaga. Midway also acquired the rights to video games that were originally developed by WMS Industries and Atari Games, such as Defender, Joust, Robotron 2084, Gauntlet, Wipeout 64 and Rush
The company's predecessor Midway Manufacturing was founded in 1958, as an amusement game manufacturer and In 1973 it moved into the interactive entertainment industry, developing and publishing arcade video games. The company scored its first mainstream hit with the U.S. distribution of Space Invaders in 1978. Midway was purchased and re-incorporated in 1988 by WMS Industries and after years as a leader in the arcade segment, Midway moved into the growing home video game market beginning in 1996, the same year that it made its initial public offering of stock. In 1998 WMS spun off its remaining shares of Midway. Midway was ranked the fourth largest-selling video game publisher in 2000.
After 2000, Midway continued to develop and publish video games for home and handheld video game machines, but it experienced large annual net losses and engaged in a series of stock and debt offerings and other financings and borrowings. Sumner Redstone, the head of Viacom/CBS Corporation, increased his stake in Midway from about 15%, in 1998, to about 87% by the end of 2007. In December 2008, Redstone sold all his stock and $70 million of Midway debt to Mark Thomas, a private investor, for $100,000.
In February 2009, Midway Games filed in Delaware for bankruptcy. Warner Bros. purchased most of Midway's assets (including Mortal Kombat), and Midway settled with Mark Thomas to relinquish his Midway stock and debt. The U.S. District Court in Chicago dismissed a lawsuit alleging that former officers of Midway misled shareholders while selling their own stock. In 2010, the bankruptcy court dismissed claims against Redstone concerning his sale of the company to Thomas and approved Midway's plan of liquidation. Midway terminated the public registration of its securities in June 2010. In March 2011, the court dismissed a lawsuit challenging the sale of assets to Warner Bros. As of 2016, a liquidating trust continues to collect and distribute any proceeds and other assets to Midway's remaining creditors and pursues avoidance actions on behalf of creditors. Their successor is currently Netherealm Studios who now focus more on fighting games such as Injustice: Gods Among Us and Mortal Kombat and rebooting all of Midway's games.
Fans of retro gaming rejoiced when they discovered that TT Games was planning a Level Pack based on Midway's classic arcade games. After waiting almost six months since the launch of Lego Dimensions, they can finally get their hands on it.

The following abilities become available for you to use throughout the Lego Dimensions universe when you purchase this Level Pack:
Unfortunately, the story level is pretty lackluster. The world and included Midway Arcade games more than make up for it, but I'll briefly talk about the level so that you know what to expect. Gamer Kid finds himself in what looks like an old arcade basement. The scenery is pretty typical of the dark cityscapes pictured in other Lego levels and doesn't do much to set itself apart. Your main goal is simply to build your arcade machine and place it on six different docking stations in order to play some retro games. Enemies from the games are dotted around and you have to choose a special ability at the right time to defeat them. To equip an ability, Gamer Kid can drink a can of pop in the flavour of his choice including: Super Strength, Laser, Invisibility, Invincibility and Speed. In order to unlock the next portion of the level, you have to get a bronze medal on each arcade game. Achieving these medals is easy if you're familiar with the games but pretty tough if they're new to you. Once you reach the roof of the arcade, the level comes to an end and you see Gamer Kid transform into George from Rampage. Placing your machine on each of the stations means that you can now access these games in the adventure world, so you do get something out of playing this simplistic level. Now comes the fun part: the life-size world of Midway Arcade!
Laval kicks butt in a more realistic game of Vindicators
The adventure world is a mash-up of many Midway Arcade games amplified to be hundreds of times the size of little Gamer Kid. The best way to enjoy it is to equip a flying character or hop in a plane to take in the sights of massive Marble Madness, big Badlands racing, gigantic Gauntlet and many more towering retro game incarnations. Once you drop to the ground, you'll be sporting around with the robots of Cyberball, riding ostriches in Joust, and rampaging with George, Lizzie and Ralph. The representation of these familiar franchises is spot-on, and the requests and puzzles for gold bricks emulate their gameplay, too. For example, you complete a request by shooting down twenty racers on the Badlands with your gunner vehicle, and collect a gold brick after blasting at aliens above Defender Mountain. Playing this adventure world is a delight for fans of the represented series and newcomers alike. Plus, if your main reason for purchasing the pack was to get your hands on the actual retro games, you have your choice of 23 classic Midway Arcade games accessible through the adventure world hub after you unlock them in other Lego Dimensions levels.
Seeing as my gaming career didn't really kick off until well into the 90s and early 2000s, I had to do a lot of research to get an understanding of the games represented for this review. However, a great game appeals to gamers of all backgrounds, so I expected to find it easy to pick up and enjoy. One thing that let me down in this regard was the controls for some retro games. I found it extremely difficult to get to grips with the games that were designed more than thirty years ago and the awkward controls that are implemented for many of the games here sure didn't help. Lego Dimensions has done a great job at simplifying controls in its base game and making it accessible, but the same can't be said for these arcade games. Too many buttons are used and they simply aren't intuitive.
Most of the arcade games are undeniable classics yet some of them are hard to enjoy in this day and age. Therefore, you're left with quite the mixed bag. On a positive note, my husband owns almost every Midway Arcade compilation and he has never played Blasteroids so he's very happy to be able to finally enjoy this 1987 sequel to Asteroids.
Wonder Woman sprints to victory in a reinterpretation of Badlands
The amount of content in the Midway Arcade Level Pack is the best yet out of all of the sets simply due to TT Games' decision to pack in over 20 full arcade games. The level itself is kind of drab, but there are some great retro moments. Where the Level Pack really shines is in the carefully crafted adventure world that boasts a genius amalgamation of many Midway franchises.
The final expansion for Lego Dimensions is the perfect way to introduce younger players to the golden age of arcades.
Sometimes we wonder who exactly Warner Bros. is making these Lego games for. Not that we’re complaining, but it often seems like they’re aimed more at thirty-something parents than their supposed target audience. Or perhaps we’re out of touch and six-year-old kids are more into Portal, Ghostbusters, and decades old arcade games than we previously imagined. We have to wonder whether the average child even knows what a video game arcade is. But if they don’t, they sure will after this new Lego Dimensions expansion pack.
We were generally very impressed by Lego Dimensions when it was released last September. Like most toys to life titles it confounded its status as cynical cash grab by being a surprisingly entertaining and content rich video game. But as well as expanding the game with extra characters and vehicles there have also been a number of extra level expansions released over the last few months, of which this is the sixth and final one. The Simpsons and Back to the Future weren’t much cop, but Portal 2, Doctor Who, and Ghostbusters were a lot of a fun. (You can read our review of the Ghostbusters one here and the others here.)
In each expansion there is a very obvious affection towards the source material, to the point where you can easily imagine British developer Traveller’s Tales picking the game’s peculiar mix of franchises purely according to their own personal taste. Although Warner Bros. already owning the property has obviously helped as well.
American coin-op manufacturer Midway has a storied past, and went through many incarnations and mergers during its time. Most of the best games in this expansion were actually made by separate company Williams, while Midway also later acquired what was left of the original Atari – which explains the presence of the likes of Gauntlet and Super Sprint. In 2009 though Midway finally went bust and everything was bought up by Warner Bros. Which is why they now publish Mortal Kombat.
In the main campaign of Lego Dimensions you ended up playing inside Lego-ised versions of some of these games, primarily Defender and Gauntlet, but this expansion works differently. The opening cut scene shows an ordinary ‘Gamer Kid’ wandering past a run-down arcade, when a dimensional warp brings all the various in-game characters to life and turns them evil. Your task is to sort things out by beating a modest high score on each arcade machine, and thereby returning things to their natural order.
This involves the usual style of Lego puzzles, with Gamer Kid proving to have his own range of surprisingly varied superpowers. By switching T-shirts and taking a swig of his non-branded cola drink he can, for a short period, turn invisible, gain super strength, become invincible, run at super speed, and shoot laser beams from his eyes (which makes him very handy in the rest of the game as well).
Each simple puzzle involves defeating an evil video game character in order to rebuild a coin-op port into which you can than dock the arcade machine gadget that the game comes with. This in turn allows you to play an actual emulated version of the real game. This involves an Achievements style medal system, but achieving bronze and unlocking the game to play at any time is generally very easy.
As you’d expect, some of the games have aged better than others. Although it’s interesting that the older the game the better they tend to have fared, with Defender, Robotron: 2084, and Joust still proving as addictive as ever. Gauntlet and Rampage are also given some prominence, but although they’re fun enough they’re incredibly shallow.
The only games that flat out don’t work though are Super Sprint and its sequels Championship Sprint and Badlands. These top-down racers were originally controlled by an actual steering wheel and the game doesn’t do enough to compensate for using a modern joypad. 720° and Marble Madness also suffer because they had non-standard controls, but that’s been a problem in previous emulations and not just this one.
The expansion pack level is quite short and features relatively few games, with the others scattered through the rest of Lego Dimension’s main campaign for you to go back and unlock. These are then made available to play in the adventure world hub. All of the games have one of these but Midway Arcade’s is one of the best, with 12 of the games reimagined in 3D Lego form – including a Gauntlet maze, a Spy Hunter race track, and a half-demolished Rampage town.
As always the puzzles and combat of the hub are much simpler than in the story levels but we spent several happy hours exploring the open world area and completing the side quests. In fact we thoroughly enjoyed our time with the level pack in general. Even if a lot of the appeal is down to games made decades ago, the Lego presentation is the perfect way to get kids interested in gaming history – and by the same virtue the best way to get adult retro fans interested in playing Lego games.
The Lego kits that come with the expansion are good too, with the Spy Hunter car and Defender coin-op being great little models – and much better than the ones from the Ghostbusters pack. There’s not much you can do with Gamer Kid though, and we wish he’d been given an ‘80s mullet. But within the fiction of the game he’s actually from the present day.
What’s next for Lego Dimensions we’re not sure. Although this is the final level pack there is another wave of extra characters due in May, but after that nothing else has been announced. Warner has talked about a three-year plan for further expansion, but whether that precludes a sequel in the meantime is unclear.
There’s rumours of adding everything from Harry Potter to Adventure Time and The A-Team, but we’ve no idea if they’re true. But as long as they’re afforded the same level of care and attention as this expansion then as far as we’re concerned the more the merrier.

Lego Dimensions is a ridiculously ambitious crossover of all things pop culture, bringing together characters from popular movies, TV shows, comic books, toys and games in one massive mash-up.
However, until now the latter category there – video games – has been a bit under-represented, with only Portal 2 flying the interactive flag. That’s finally changed with the Midway Arcade level pack.
Having already treated us with individual level packs focusing on The Simpsons, Back To The Future, Portal 2, Doctor Who and Ghostbusters, this sixth and final (for now) level pack is aimed squarely at retro gamers, particularly those who had a soft spot for ‘80s arcade games.
What may surprise you, though, is that this isn’t really your conventional Lego game level. Instead, it’s more of a retro gaming compilation, a bit like the old Midway Arcade Treasures games back in the day.
First, a history lesson
It’s worth bearing in mind, though, that three of the arcade hubs are found in other level packs, which are sold separately. If you don’t have the Simpsons level pack, for example, you won’t be able to unlock robot American football game Cyberball.
What this essentially means is if you don’t have the Simpsons, Portal 2 or Back To The Future level packs, the total number of arcade games on offer is 20, not 23.
If you’re curious, here’s a list of every game on offer.
Badlands (Atari Games) – A top-down racing game set in an apocalyptic wasteland, where every car is armed with a cannon
Blasteroids (Atari Games) – An official sequel to the classic Asteroids, but with a wider range of enemies including giant green-faced alien Mukor
Championship Sprint (Atari Games) – The second game in the Super Sprint racing series. It plays identical to its predecessor but has different tracks
Cyberball 2072 (Atari Games) – A futuristic version of American football played by robots. You need the Simpsons level pack to unlock it
Defender (Williams) – Side-scrolling shooter in which you have to save humans from an incoming alien invasion
Defender II (Williams) – Also known as Stargate, this sequel adds new enemy types to the mix
Gauntlet (Atari Games) – Top-down maze game known for having digitised speech, hundreds of enemies on-screen at the same time and a high difficulty level
Gauntlet II (Atari Games) – More of the same, with new features and traps
Joust (Williams) – An odd jousting game where you ride a flying ostrich and have to knock enemies off buzzards. Think Balloon Fight at the zoo
Joust 2 (Williams) – The same again with improved game mechanics and a visual overhaul
Klax (Atari Games) – Brilliant puzzle game where coloured squares roll towards you in a conveyor belt and have to be matched up. You need the Portal 2 level pack to unlock it
Marble Madness (Atari Games) – Guide a marble through an obstacle course before time runs out. Designed by Mark Cerny, who went on to become lead architect on the PS4 hardware
Paperboy (Atari Games) – Vertically scrolling shoot ‘em up of sorts where you have to throw newspapers at customers’ doors while avoiding weird and wonderful enemies
Rampage (Midway) – Monster movie inspired game where you play as a giant gorilla, lizard or wolfman and have to destroy skyscrapers while eating humans to gain health
RoadBlasters (Atari Games) – Racing game where you have to complete a total of 50 rallies without running out of fuel
Robotron 2084 (Williams) – The first game that made twin-stick shooting popular. Rescue humans while defeating endless waves of robots
720° (Atari Games) – Skateboarding game with a main hub and four different events: ramp, downhill, slalom and jump. You need the Back To The Future level pack to unlock it
Spy Hunter (Midway) – Top-down racer where you drive your G-6155 Interceptor car along roads, blowing up enemies with your gun. The car can turn into a boat if you’re good
Super Sprint (Atari Games) – The first in a series of top-down racers where you race against three others on a variety of tracks
Timber (Midway) – Playing as a lumberjack (who looks a lot like the guy from Tapper), you have to chop down a certain number of trees in a given time
Toobin’ (Atari Games) – A racing game where you have to travel down a series of widning rivers while riding a rubber ring
Vindicators (Atari Games) – Action game where you control a tank that’s constantly running out of fuel, and have to make your way through stages killing enemies and topping up said fuel
Xybots (Atari Games) – Playing as Major Rock Hardy (seriously), you have to travel through a 3D maze and take out a series of robots planning to destroy mankind
Gamer Kid character
Of all 44 playable characters in Lego Dimensions, the Gamer Kid is the only one who’s a generic chap created just for this game (that’s being generous to the Jurassic World ACU Trooper, mind).
You’d think this would make him one of the least entertaining characters to play as, but thankfully that isn’t quite the case.
His voice acting is a little hit or miss – since he’s a gaming obsessive he keeps dropping smart-arse, fourth-wall breaking comments.
Some of them made me roll my eyes. When he dies and respawns he asks: “What? No permadeath?” And when you remove his figure from the base to take him out of the game he shouts “Ragequit!”. Quite.
That said, other comments did get a chuckle out of me. Put him next to Portal’s Chell and he’ll ask her whether it’s pronounced ‘Shell’, and during the game’s lengthy rift loading screens he’ll yell: “Best loading screen ever!”.
In terms of how he plays, he’s got a healthy selection of abilities, though they’re a little unwieldy to access. You see, Gamer Kid can change his shirt design at will. There are five different designs and you switch between them at the press of a button.
Each design represents a different ability, so when you have the design you want, you hold the action button and he’ll drink a can of cola, which then activates that ability for a limited time.
That sounds confusing so here’s a short clip illustrating it:
The five different skills – invincibility, invisibility, super speed, super strength and laser vision – make Gamer Kid one of the more versatile Lego Dimensions characters.
Just be prepared for a lot of toggling between shirts and can-drinking.
Arcade Machine
Of the two gadgets supplied in the Midway Arcade level pack, the Arcade Machine is the most important because, like the TARDIS before it, it’s the only way of activiating a certain gameplay mechanic.
In this case, as previously described, it’s the only way to active the arcade docks you encounter on your travels. Placing the Arcade Machine on a dock will power it up and let you play a specific game.
This is really its sole function in this form. You can ride it and upgrade it to fire bullets but it moves so slowly you might as well not bother – it only really moves so you can navigate it into arcade docks easier.
G-6155 Spy Hunter
Gamer Kid’s other bundled goodie is a vehicle, namely the titular car from Midway’s Spy Hunter.
As far as vehicles go, it’s actually one of the most useful in the game because it’s one of the few that can do the hat-trick and travel on land, sea and air.
In its initial form the G-6155 Spy Hunter doesn’t really do much the Starter Pack’s Batmobile doesn’t do. It can trigger the usual treadmill switches any car can activate, and it can pull the typical car-based triple grappling hook switches too.
When you upgrade it to the Interdiver, the car transforms into a boat (like it does in the Spy Hunter game), albeit one that can also go under the surface and explore underwater.
Finally, upgrading it again to the Aerial Spyhunter lets you take to the skies and use its laser to generally ruin bad guys’ days.
Judged on its individual parts none of this vehicle’s three forms does anything particularly unique. However, the fact it’s a jack-of-all-trades that lets you travel anywhere without having to spawn a second vehicle has made it a permanent part of my standard roster.
Final verdict
Your enjoyment of the Midway Arcade level pack for Lego Dimensions will mainly come down to one question: are you a retro gamer?
If (like me) you are, then you’re going to love it. With 23 immaculately presented retro games on offer, each with their own score challenges, this easily offers more than any other level pack purely in terms of hours of gameplay.
The arcade games are very much the meat of this package, and the level that hosts them (the Paperboy area aside) feels like little more than a hub world with very basic puzzles unlocking each game.
The previously released level packs still play like traditional Lego game stages and as such still can be enjoyed by those who don’t really care about the licence – I don’t really care about Doctor Who but still thoroughly enjoyed the Doctor Who level pack.
But since so much of this one is literally playing old arcade games from the ‘80s and early ‘90s, if that sort of thing doesn’t float your boat that isn’t magically going to change.
Me though, I bloody love it.
