Description from the packaging.

Microsoft Arcade brings you fast-action play of five classic arcade games- right in Windows! Take a few minutes out of a busy day to defend your turf and rid the universe of evil intruders!

You can customize each game- so you can play the way you want to! Just press the F9 key.

Asteroids.
Warp into hyperspace and shoot a path to the stars! Watch out for plummeting asteroids careening your way, large saucers taking aim at you, and sneaky little saucers tracking you down to blast you out of the sky. You'll be dodging and firing into the night!

Missile Command.
Do you have the guts to go for some glory? You'll be up against battalions of bombers, satellites, missiles, and smart bombs, all gunning to flatten civilization! You'll need fast strategy, quick thinking, and rapid firing to blow them away- or you're vapor.

Centipede.
You've got a total insect invasion, and you can't call an exterminator! It's up to you to zap persistent centipedes, tricky spiders, mushroom-dropping fleas, and poisonous scorpions out of the mushroom patch before they reach you. So take aim, commence rapid-fire, and get the bugs out!

Tempest.
Get your synapses snapping in this unique universe of fast-paced, mind-blowing action! Defend yourself against a menacing horde of enemy aliens across a changing array of geometric playing screens. You'll be off balance from the start, but stay alert, focus your fire, and you'll be on target through the end!

Battlezone.
Deflect and destroy the enemy across a war-torn battlefield! But they just keep coming and coming- tanks, missiles, supertanks, and saucers- all with one mission: your obliteration. Keep an eye on your radar and a finger on the firepower. You can win this war!

It's unrelenting, unrestrained arcade action!
It's the challenge of Microsoft Arcade!
