You know those big collections of games from one publisher or series or somethin? Stuff like "SNK Arcade Classics" or "Atari Anthology"? I guess there's less now, probably because rights stuff is weird & it's easier/more profitable to release older games individually through download services but they were especially big during the Ps2/Gamecube/Xbox era and I was wondering if any of you had some u really dug?

"Midway Arcade Treasures" was my favorite. A lot of ppl prefer Arcade Treasures 2 because its got more well-known classics (Mortal Kombat 2 & 3, for example) but the thing I always dug about those game collections is when you get to play something you wouldn't otherwise. Stuff like Bubbles, Satan's Hollow & Toobin' were the kind of games I'd never play otherwise & having them on the collection was sick. The other really cool thing was that almost all the games came with a lot of supplemental stuff like interviews/cabinet art/etc. (Ed Boon talking in front of The Grid ftw), one I always remember is the interview with the Sinistar guy where he talks about the glitch to get a ton of lives. I tried to do it all the time but I could never get it right

One Nation, Under God.
Fantasy Zone Complete Collection is cool because the developers made a legit new game on 80s arcade hardware just for the collection, there are bootleg conversion kits for it and everything

Yeah in the period having access to all those games in one set was fairly godlike. Most of my SNES time was playing World and All-Stars

Mario All Stars is pretty high up there for me. There were also pretty sweet at the time:





When we upgraded our PC, my mom took me to Price Club to go get a copy of this and Dark Forces


I know I had some collection with Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and Icewind Dale but I can't find it any more. So many hours of playtime ..

I had like everything else so I played Burnout 3 on the Xbox kinda obsessively, me and my dad would play Crash mode all the time. Eventually I got a downloadable copy for the 360 & played it to completion a couple times because the save got corrupted after I'd finished once.

I like Mario 2 but the combined might of just 3 and World is almost too powerful to handle

not only are you getting some of the best games ever in one pack but they're the subsistence versions with extra stuff, and they're also as good as HDmakes get with crisp 1080p textures+anti-aliasing and smoothing, running at 60 fps. godly compilation
