Help Wanted: Best Compilation Sets/Discs out there?

[mjmjr25]

I am mildly notorious in my disdain and hatred for compilation sets.

However, my disdain has been replaced by a need to continue to thin out my collection as it consumes too large a footprint in my home.

As I acquire more (large) arcade boards, and other console LE's and the like, available space is squeezed even further.

I have been sourcing a "Metal Black" PCB for the SotM, but haven't found one for under $250, so I decided to get the PS2 "Taito Legends 2" disc so I would be able to play next month.

Just wow, this disc is loaded with excellent arcade games - I had no idea a lot of these games were ever ported at all, i'm sorta well, shocked.

I am wondering what other "good" compilations have been done. To note, I already have all the GCN compilations and all the Wii compilations.

So, I am looking for any I may have missed on:
PSX
PS2
PS3
X360
SAT-JP

Any help...would umm, help.

yep, PS2 has the most of these compilation set out of any other consoles. i would go with that route first unless you prefer something from the other consoles (their exclusives).

A lot of those are GCN repeats, assuming they are the same? Midway 1-3, Intellivision, Sonic Mega and I have the SGen Collection, Metal Slug Anthology for PS2 already.

I think Atari is the same as the DC which I have, but i'll check on that too.

Those Capcom Classics look intriguing, will have to research game lists on those. Are they same/similar to the SAT-J Capcom Generation Compilations? I have 1-5 on those and they are very good.

I'll need to research the others though thanks!

That Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is fantastic. I rarely play my Genesis anymore because it is just 10 times more convenient to pop in a disc rather than drag out an old console.

I've been seriously considering getting it simply based on the fact that it's cheaper than buying Shining Force II alone.

Seriously, there are only about 6 or 7 titles that I'd want for Genesis that aren't on that collection, all Treasure and Technosoft games.
