    Do the colors and sounds of YAR'S seem to be off? Also the easter egg in Yars no longer exists. Also the Adventure cheat seems to be missing. I remember you need to find a dot in the Black Castle catacombs, but it's not there. The 2600 Missile Command easter egg exists.

    Apparently the Flashback contains ported versions instead of emulated ones. The sounds, graphics and gameplay are slightly different in almost all the games.

    No soup for you, indeed.

    I just got done playing the PS2 version, and the sound seemed pretty spot on to me, although I specifically remember YAR being white (and now he's purple). I also noticed a lot more colors in Asteroids, although it's been a while since I played it and you always wonder if it's not the mind playing tricks on ya.

    I saw Flashback at Best Buy the other day...didn't buy it, though. If I did, would I have to call it an official console? That would give me 15.

    I just ordered Atari Anthology. Surprised I never got around to it before now. But I loved Lunar Lander when I was younger so I finally decided I had to have it.

    Well that is originaly a SNK game so no surpise there license stuff ya know.

    Just like i wouldn't expect to see, Indiana Jones&Raiders Of The Lost Ark in it either.

    I wouldn't worry, Jakks Pacific has a, Plug'n Play joystick planed with classic SNK games on it like Vanguard.
