Xbox one / Xbox 360 (they reissues a fancy double cover, you can get it new for under $20).

The biggest problem I had with it was the piss poor audio quality. Everything sounds just awful compared to the real thing. Still, that didn't stop me from unlocking all the trophies on Steam (at least, for the classic games).

Still, for that reason, I wouldn't recommend it for one of the BEST gaming compilations. It's not the definitive versions of the classic games, for sure.

Thank you - I'm scratching it off our list.

I guess nobody likes text adventure games.

re: the question on Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition having emulation issues:

Although the game mentions "sound irregularities" on the disc as a result of emulating Majora's Mask on the GameCube, no mention is made of the game freezing. This is a common issue encountered less often when not using the rumble function. The framerate of the Collector's Edition version of Majora's Mask is also lower than the 20 FPS framerate of the original game. The problems could be caused due to the game's reliance on the Expansion Pack. Majora's Mask also presents a high number of graphical issues, such as the blur effect commonly used during cutscenes either not disappear or not loading entirely. As Ocarina of Time does not use the Expansion Pack used by Majora's Mask, less problems occur. It, however, does experience some minor emulation issues, such as lens flares and other special effects not appearing. Both games also experience another issue. Under normal circumstances, opening the inventory menu will capture the screen and add it to memory before opening the menu so it can appear on top of the game screen. Emulators have difficulty adding this image to the memory, thus, the game will appear to freeze for a couple of seconds before the menu opens up. While this image is being removed from memory as the menu is closed, the game also freezes for a short time.

Is this Mac also? Is it freeware/public domain at all now? I like this for our PC section a good bit.

Notes re: PS2, Xbox
The Atari 2600 titles Atari Video Cube, Backgammon, and Hangman have been added.

The Atari 2600 titles A Game of Concentration, BASIC Programming, and Codebreaker have been removed.

Also one I'm considering: Atari Classics Evolved (PSP) - 11 arcade classics in both original and remastered/evolved versions + 50 unlockable 2600 games. Pretty good portable option.
