Best Game Compilation?

[AppleQueso]

This again. Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is just awesome.

That said...I do enjoy Capcom Classics Collection Vol.1 and Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2. They are both pretty solid. I also enjoy the Taito Legends, Taito Legends 2, and the Midway Arcade Classics Vol. 2 compilations. I have also received some entertainment from the Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger's Pack for the Wii...although I would be hard pressed to call any of the games on that compilation "good".

MAT Volume 2 was pretty nice I suppose, but it's far too buggy and missing a lot of games that would've made sense to be included (NBA Jam T.E., Mortal Kombat 1, and UMK3 come to mind instantly). I can't really call it the 'best' anything because of this.

TL 1 & 2 come to mind for me right away. Great on the PC.

Have you considered MAT Deluxe for the PC? It contains MAT 2 & MAT 3 and it has MK1, 2, and 3. Only issue I have are the clunky menus and the stupid StarForce DRM.

You will never see any NBA titles or anything else that originally requires a license from another organization for that matter on those older compilations. That will strike down a lot of good games that could have been included.

Yeah I figured as much with NBA Jam.

I never put much consideration into MAT Deluxe. The way I see it, if I'm going to play arcade games on my PC, I might as well just use MAME.

With the exception of Taito Legends 1 & 2, I would have to agree. Even arcade compilations aren't immune to stupid PC DRM techniques.

Taito Legends 2, MAT Deluxe, and even the Namco 50th Anniversary use StarForce

Plus, the consoles always seem to have the most selection of collections.

Mega Man Anniversary Collection
Mega Man X Collection

I've spent more time playing the games in those than any other compilation. I think Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is on the overwhelming side of things, although it does deserve a mention.

Oh, the Ultima Collection for PCs years ago was awesome, although even when it came out it was tough to get all the games running.
