Assorted Classics Collections

[willardhaven]

Just felt like making a thread to list/discuss all of the cool compilations that are out.

I picked up Genesis and Capcom 2 today, is anybody else thrilled about the 20$ price tag when compared to Live! Arcade and moreso Nintendo's fancy pants VC?

Also, we can warn people about the crappy compilations (Sega Classic remakes, for example).

I really liked the first two midway compilations. The third was alright but didnt really have any extras and the games were too similar.

I just got the Capcom Classics 2 collection and soo far it kicks ass! The games may not have the most recognizable names, but they are all clones of Final Fight, or Ghost n Goblins, or Golden Axe. And theres a few shmups in there as well. I think out of 20 games in the collection, maybe 2 or 3 are stinkers. Theres an arkanoid clone thats unplayable due to the rotten controls. But almost everything else was awesome! Highly reccomended if you like classics compilations.

My personal favorite is the Taito Legends Collection. Part two is due next month.


I wish more of these were BC with the Xbox 360.

I'm fond of both Mega Man collections.

Quick question: In Capcom Classic V.2 is there a way to set continues other than 0 or infinite for most games?

I know I could just budget but still, I'm curious as to whether there are more options.

Do I prefer the compilations to the download services? Hell ing yes. Not only do I get a lot more games for the money, but I actually own the games rather than just having a license from a company to play a game. And I like all the various museum extras these games have.

Finally, Taito Collection 2 hit US ... i loves the 1st collection & look forward pickup 2nd collection. Still didn't finished Sega Gennessis Collection (it's pretty hard games).

 

[Chacrana]

Oh yeah, is that first Taito Collection a necessary purchase? I haven't played many Taito games, but if there's good shmups on there (wasn't G Darius on there?) or some worthwhile sidescrollers... then I'm in.

 

[willardhaven]

It could just be my system, but man it seems that Genesis collection loads a lot more roughly than Capcom v.2, which was done by the same company.

With the Midway Arcade Treasuers 1 and 2, what are the games? I have number 3 I wasn't that impressed.

MAT3 was a collection of racing games, so it wasn't as impressive in number or quality.

Seconded reccomendation for Taito Legends. It's $5 at BB after the coupons in the deals thread. The NewZealand story is great.
