Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits is a compilation of arcade games released in 1996/1997 for, among other systems, the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Saturn. The Mega Drive version was published by Williams Entertainment in North America, which, following restructuring and buyouts in the mid-1990s, became part of Midway Games, who published the European Mega Drive and Saturn versions as Midway Presents Arcade's Greatest Hits.
Arcade's Greatest Hits contains a selection of arcade games originally released by Williams Electronics in the early 1980s. The ports were handled by Digital Eclipse, who would go on to produce numerous re-releases of this nature (such as Midway Presents Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1). Though the Saturn versions are nearly identical to their original arcade forms, on the Mega Drive slight alterations exist to accommodate the differing hardware. The Saturn version also has extras, such as videos and artwork.
The Sega Dreamcast game Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits Volume 1 is much the same as this release, although features higher quality emulations.
