Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced was released on March 22, 2002, for the Game Boy Advance. It was released in Europe under the name Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Classics. A version was also released as a dedicated console. Arcade Advanced is a compilation of six popular Konami games from the 1980s, including Rush'n Attack, Frogger, Gyruss, Time Pilot, Scramble, and Yie Ar Kung Fu. Besides being arcade games, most of these have also been quite popular on home consoles. The games themselves are very accurate ports, with some minor exceptions.

The famous Konami Code can be used in this game to enhance each of the games. Of particular note, the code turns the one-player version of Frogger from graphics and sound similar to that of the original Golden Age arcade game to a thoroughly modern graphical and musical update, like that found in the two-player mode. In Scramble the code allows you to choose between three different ships and play a more updated version. In Time Pilot it allows you to rapidly fire your gun by holding down the fire button, and offers a sixth stage set in 1,000,000BC. In Yie Ar Kung-Fu the code lets you to fight two extra opponents, Bishu and Clayman. (Wikipedia)
