Having already conquered all current-gen consoles and the PC, the Midway Arcade Treasures series has now arrived on the PSP. Today, Midway Games shipped Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play, the first version of the popular retro series for Sony's portable. It retails at the budget price of $29.99 and is rated M for Mature.

　　Why would an arcade compilation carry an M rating, you ask? Because Extended Play features ports of the original Mortal Kombat games, which ignited controversy in the early 1990s for their blood-spraying, spine-ripping combat. The first three MK games--Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, and Mortal Kombat 3--are featured in the compilation. All three games will support multiplayer action via the PSP's built-in wireless functionality.

　　If you can't bring yourself to "finish him!", Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play also sports 17 other more family-friendly classics from the golden era of brass tokens. Among them are the King Kong-esque urban destruction game Rampage and Spy Hunter, which is being adaptated into a film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Also in the comp are Joust and Gauntlet, which are also available as à la carte Xbox Live Arcade games for the Xbox 360.
