"Classic"
This port tends above all to the legibility of the mecha duel at full speed. The Virtuaroids glide, leap and dodge trailing motion streaks, while a lock-on reticle constantly tracks the opponent and structures the twin-stick fight. The spare display, a few gauges and a sight over a spacious arena, keeps the action perfectly readable despite a speed of execution rare for its time.

Better with friends
A re-release of a mech-dueling arena of rare purity, built for one-on-one play on twin sticks. All the tension springs from the long-range dance: lock-on, side dodges and anticipated shots turn each clash into a tense tug-of-war. Learning it takes patience, but the rivalry that grows between regulars delivers duels of heady intensity you restart endlessly.
Is Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 31 - Dennou Senki - Virtual On still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2007 on PS2 in the Sega Ages collection, Sega's port of the legendary arcade Virtual On brings back giant robot arena combat, built on dual stick movement and nervous ranged shooting. The speed of the clashes, the reading of the arena and the strategic dimension of dodging make for a versus of unsuspected depth beneath its spectacular surface. The control on a standard pad, lacking the original twin stick controller, remains a compromise. A sought after piece for fans of mech combat and for those curious about a demanding and singular arcade classic.
