This is the greatest retro collection ever to be released on one disc.

Only Sega and Nintendo are capable of putting such collections together.

Its a shame Sega didn't include Revenge of shinobi and Outrun though.

Sorry to hear that you don't like too many of the games, but the same could be said if you were playing some of the snes's games for the first time ever.

I still love my Shinobi's, Sonics and Streets of rage's as much as i did all those years ago when i first played them.

Simply put some games age better than others.

 

 

Revenge of Shinobi was easily the best one. I personally thought shinobi 3 was crap, proper crap. Not as bad as Shadow Dancer which was just embarresing.

The alien game that has a robot with a laser whip was my favorite.

vectorman would have been better if it had a better soundtrack.

 

 

Alien Soldier, legendry game was made by "Treasure" though so wouldn't be on here...Damn well should be though!

 

It is on VC.

I was actually tlaking about Alien Storm, it was my favorite on the sonic ultimate collection.... but I know what Alien Soldier is and that SHOULD of been on the disk as well. It's sooo badass.

Dude, Shining Force 1 and 2 are downright fantastic games. Sharp, colourful graphics for the time. Simple, yet enjoyable combat system, and an overall addictive nature to both games.

I must have played through both of them 5+ times back in the day.

I've played the first Shining Force up to the first boss - I believe it was the marionette thing - and the game feels quite a bit like a simplified Fire Emblem, only a lot more random, and not in a good way. Yeah, you can roam the villages and the world map occasionally but barring a few optional items, chars and sidequests (which FE games don't really have), it doesn't really do that much for the game.

I suppose any SRPG fan should try the first one, but one shouldn't be expecting that much IMO.

What I'm finding is that most of those games you're mentioning only really mean anything to people nostalgic about them. That disc only appeals to people that played most/some of the games back in the day.

Because I agree with you. I'm still picking up and playing "new to me" SNES titles on a regular basis - and enjoying them - but I've never been able to do that with GEN titles.
