Old games/new systems... a suggestion.

[Fragems]

Namco Museum Virtual Arcade looks like a pretty neat compilation haven't gotten around to playing it yet though. Midway Arcade Origins was also pretty cool but I didn't care for the navigation system.

Wish EA had released a compilation on Consoles EA Replay on the PSP was pretty cool.

I wouldn't recommend Virtual Arcade unless you collect compilations. Many games won't work even in single player unless you're logged into Xbox Live. You're better off jumping down a gen and playing Namco Museum 50th Anniversary.

The three 6th gen Midway comps render Origins almost moot. The only unique entry is Vindicators II. But I suppose if one were to own only one Midway comp it may be the best one.
