Added the pinball collections and the Sega classics collection. I'm only interested in arcade compilations for this list, not console comps. Thanks for your help!

[chrisbid]

the genesis collection has a handful of sega arcade games

there are 2 namco museums, the original and 50th anniversary

[heybtbm]

Was there ever a non-greatest hits "Namco Museum 50th Anniversary" for PS2? I remember it releasing immediately as a greatest hit (because of so many pre-orders or some stupid shit). I don't remember anyone ever mentioning finding a "regular" PS2 edition (like the GC and Xbox got).

[XYXZYZ]

Gradius III & IV is a port of the arcade games. Are we talking domestic only, or imports? There's the Gunbird collection, and the Sengoku Ace / Sengoku Blade collection from Psikyo in Japan. (And I think the Gunbird collection was released in England?) And on the Neo Geo forums they've mentioned something about a Sengoku 1,2&3 collection that's coming out soon. I think it's only scheduled for Japan so far.

Oh, and we're not talking about single game ports like Raiden III or Shikigami no Shiro (Mobile Light Force 2) etc, right?

[boatofcar]

Those are good questions, XYXYZ. Let's make this list US NTSC only. Now, the other question is how many games should a disc have on it to make it a "compilation?" Do you think Gradius III&IV should count?

[chrisbid]

gradius iii and iv should count, it was two games on one disc, and at least gradius iii was 10 years old when the disc was released

[Damaramu]

There's also:

Street Fighter Alpha Anthology
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection

[Damaramu]

Oh yeah and:

King of Fighters 2000/ King of Fighters 2001
King of Fighters 2002/ King of Fighters 2003

[boatofcar]

Updated, thanks for the replies!

[DigitalSpace]

Since Gradius III & IV is on the list, you might as well add Metal Slug 4/5 (which pretty much became obsolete after the release of Metal Slug Anthology, but yeah).

EDIT: Another one that's missing is Art of Fighting Anthology.

Please make the list in order when completed, this will be easier to read :) Thanks in advance!

[DeSt-Cyr]

- Mortal Kombat Kollection (not release yet) sept. 2008
- Namco Classic Fighter Collection (not release yet) sept. 2008
- Pac-Man Power Pack (not release yet) sept. 2008

Those are just collected "boxed sets" of single games...similar to the recent Metal Gear Solid and Devil May Cry collections. A majority of the titles contained were never even arcade games.

[bcks007]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus (arcade game on it)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare (arcade game on it)
Mortal Kombat: Deception Premium Pack (arcade game on it)
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon Kollector's Edition (arcade game on it)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare (arcade game on it)
Mortal Kombat: Deception Premium Pack (arcade game on it)
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon Kollector's Edition (arcade game on it)

I wouldn't call those games compilations...

[bcks007]

arcade compilations = no
arcade compilation = Yep

Each one of those games have 1 arcade compilation on it.

[boatofcar]

arcade compilations = no
arcade compilation = Yep

Each one of those games have 1 arcade compilation on it.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

[ubersaurus]

arcade compilations = no
arcade compilation = Yep

Each one of those games have 1 arcade compilation on it.

By its very definition, a compilation has more than one arcade game. Therefore, those titles you listed with one arcade game on them are not compilations.

I can't think of any others, really. Although, wouldn't the genesis collection not count? Did the Tecmo Collection ever come out on PS2?

The Genesis Collection has a few arcade games on it, doesn't it?

[Leo_A]

The Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2 has 5 unlockable classic Sega arcade games, with the PSP version having a different set of 5. Belongs in the list for sure.

[DigitalSpace]

Did the Tecmo Collection ever come out on PS2?

Nope - unfortunately, it was just on the Xbox.

I hate to dredge this topic up, but I was looking up Terminal Reality (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_Reality), the devs that made the Bloodrayne games, Aeon Flux, and the godawful SNK Arcade Classics for the PS2... when I noticed this in Wikipedia:

Games developed
(...)
* The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga (Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP)


... Please tell me this is a lie. PLEASE TELL ME SNK DIDN'T FARM OUT THIS GAME TO THESE INCOMPETENT MORONS.

PLEASE. ;_;
