By new, I don't mean today's arcade games but just collections featuring older arcade games that we haven't seen before. How many times can we buy Pac-Man, Asteroids and Missile Command?
Fuck the comps, just "get" MAME.

*drool*
solomon's key with a save/password feature would make me very happy. I guess I could use savestates, but then I wouldn't be spending any money :(

Capcom Classics Collection was announced in May and is supposed to be released in September. There's a thread with more about it here (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61074).

Didn't or isn't Taito coming out with a collection?

I do remember hearing about Taito coming out with one. I don't know if or when it might be released in the U.S., though. I think that compilation was announced for Europe.
I don't suppose anyone will ever put the original Crazy Climber out in a U.S. release compilation, eh?

The Capcom Classics Collection sounds great. If it sells, hopefully we'll see more classics such as 1943 and Ghouls 'N Ghosts.

The compilations sell... Yes. Many compilations will be available as previously mentioned above. It will be interesting to see if crazy climber, or some such games are successfully added to a retro release (that would be sweeeeeeet)

Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary Arcade Collection is coming out soon for GBA, PS2, GC, XBox. It looks to be a decent collection.

The problem with the Namco collections is that we keep seeing the same games. I'd like to see compilations of 80s arcade games featuring games not available to the home market before.
Didn't or isn't Taito coming out with a collection?
Two actually, at least in Japan. We will probably get one with some games from both.
