Three months after it finalized the games for ultimate inclusion in Midway Arcade Treasures 2, Midway has announced that it is adjusting the lineup for its classic game compilation. Gone are combat helicopter sim Steel Talons and the jet-sled racer STUN Runner, and, in a move that will outrage many, the original Mortal Kombat. The latter game will now only be available with the special editions of Mortal Kombat: Deception.

In their places come two far lesser-known games, the spaced-out blaster Kozmik Kroozr’ and its prequel, Wacko. A full list of the included games is below.

A.P.B.
Arch Rivals
Championship Sprint
Cyberball 2072
Gauntlet 2
Hard Drivin’
Kozmik Kroozr’
Mortal Kombat 3
Mortal Kombat II
NARC
Pit Fighter
Primal Rage
Rampage World Tour
Spy Hunter 2
Timber
Total Carnage
Wizard of Wor
Xenophobe
Xybots
Wacko

Midway also used the occasion to show off the new box art for the game, which has a sleeker, more stylized look than its predecessor. The sequel to the successful Midway Arcade Treasures will arrive October 11 for the Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2. It is rated "M" for Mature.
