Capcom Classics Collection
I picked up Capcom Classics Collection today. I've been looking forward to this one for a while, since I'm a big fan of 1943 and Bionic Commando, amoung others. The package turned out to be an even better deal than I expected, as it includes 1942, 1943, 1943 Kai, Bionic Commando, Gun.Smoke, Street Fighter II, SF2 Champion Ed, SF2 Turbo, Ghosts and Goblins, Ghouls and Ghosts, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, and Final Fight, just to catch the major highlights. This is definitely one of the most worthwhile "arcade classics" packages available these days, and I strongly recommend it.If you're into Street Fighter, Capcom Classics Collection nicely complements the Street Fighter Collection, which has SF3.3: The Third Strike as well as a crazy free-for-all mixture of Street Fighter II titles. What Street Fighter Collection doesn't have is the plain ol' arcade versions of Street Fighter II prior to Super SF2, and that's why having Capcom Classics Collection is worthwhile. Also along the Capcom front, I have (and love) Mega Man Collection, and am even looking forward to the Mega Man X collection.
Capcom aside, there is one other "arcade collection" package that I strongly recommend, and that is the Midway Arcade Collection vol 1. It includes amazing games like Robotron 2048, Sinistar, Rampart, Joust, Defender, Spy Hunter, and more and more. That collection is simply a gem and is well worth the money. Other publishers like Namco and Sega could take a cue from the likes of Midway and Capcom and be less stingy about what they give out in their classics collection releases.
You may have noticed that the tone of my blog has shifted. I'm opening it up from tight little rants about specific titles to just more of a long-winded rambling format. I think this makes for more entertaining reading, and will perhaps motivate me to just casually spout off about whatever I happen to be playing. I don't know if I'll manage to make updates frequently enough to draw any regular readers, though.
