I'm not sure why the Adventure games have been largely ignored ever since their release. The inclusion of the original would have been extra win.

Hmm...I'll have to look into it. The whole isometric aspect didn't work too well for Sonic, as I didn't really find Sonic 3D Blast to be much fun, but that doesn't mean a different developer can't get it right.

Originally posted byKiNeTiC ENeRgY Try another disc/compilation for the DC mate. One I have allows u to jump through pages at a time using the triggers, and I never have any issues with saves. I agree about the emulators on the PC, but u can even get NES controllers to use on the PC. There's almost nothing that can't be modded/hacked these days. You can use the new dualshock 3's for windows games, but through usb only for now. All u need is to download the drivers and it works great.

1. You won't believe this. I just popped in that disc, and sure enough...the triggers end up scrolling the list by letter rather than by every single game. Wow. Guess I won't need to do a search for another one after all!

2. I know there are controllers/gamepads you can pick up for the PC, but its the fact that I don't want to sit at my computer to play these games. I like the fact that my roomies and I can all chill by the living room TV in a big space, and play some good ol' fashioned Shinobi. And I don't want to hook up my computer in the living room.

Landstalker is Sega's answer to Zelda: LttP, except with JUMPING!

Really one of the best adventure games of ever. Alundra is essentially the sequel to Landstalker if you've played Alundra, just Landstalker is Isometric, what with it being on an inferior system to PS.

Bullshit.
Those forces combine to create a soaking, boiling mudstorm on Valentine's Day.

supposedly most, if not many of these will be available individually per XBLA...

we shall see, it may just be the sonics|

what about beyond oasis, general chaos, shadowrun? wtf

i'd take a soft-modded xbox with all of the old consoles in one package over this any day. until modding/homebrew for the next-gen consoles starts improving i'll stick with pc, xbox, and ds.

General Chaos (one of the best games ever) I can see, but were the other two really all that popular, commercially-speaking? These packs usually contain games that sold really well.

Absolutely. It's a game that definitely needs a remake or at least a re-release on Live/PSN. With online multiplayer...holy shit, that'd be awesome.

I have this one, and is really great to re-live the games i played in the 90s. I expected more unlockable master system games, but it's ok.
I hope for downloadable content with more games.

Why are not Sonic 3 & Knuckles? (The union of these two games via the Knuckles cartridge) And Super Hang-On, After Burner and Virtua Racing?

In any case, it's ok. I have months to complete all of those games.

I feel these Sega gems are often forgotten. I wonder why.

And I'm curious why this title didn't try to replicate the Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles cartridge.

I just realized last night that Beyond Oasis is in this compilation. Doubt that'll change your opinion of the matter, though.
