About Arcade Classic No. 4 : Defender & Joust

Arcade Classic No. 4 : Defender & Joust is a compilation containing two separate titles. The software is compatible with the Super Game Boy peripheral, which results in modified visual presentation compared to the initial arcade releases.

Multiplayer functionality is limited to a local pass-and-play system, where two players alternate turns on the same hardware. A direct connection between two Game Boy units via the Link Cable is not supported by this cartridge.
