I assume this should be €49.99? and not €4.99 like in the title?

Edit: Nope apparently not. Ty

Oh man, I loved Blast Corpos, worth it for that alone! Are these remastered versions of the games?

Accordingly to this:

• Grabbed By The Ghoulies was the only game in the collection to be newly remastered to run natively on Xbox One.
• Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, and Perfect Dark are all remastered Xbox Live Arcade versions.

Thanks again for the heads up on this, nabbed a copy yesterday in Carrickmines. True bargain, had me up til all hours revisiting some classics!

^ No worries. Picked up a copy myself yesterday.

Worth it for Perfect Dark remastered alone, but it's a great collection with absolutely tons of gameplay.

Jet Pac, originally 16k of perfection.

Jetpac was the first game I purchased directly from Ultimate (pre Rare) via post from them at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, for my 16k Speccy. For years afterwards they posted me game poster art!

Microsoft bought Rare so unlikely to see on the PS ...

Is it weird that I would love to play a ZX Spectrum game that ran on a 16K machine, on my PS4?

Actually, any of the old Taito, Konami etc. coin-op games on a modern console would make me very happy.I actually gave serious consideration to picking this up the other day.

There were some amazing compilation collections on the PS2/Xbox, the Midway Arcade Classics I think? It's incredible how well some of them hold up today in terms of sheer fun.

You should head to the arcade & retro forum, it might be already discussed or if you ask they might have better advice.

here are some old games I was mentioning in that forum a while ago.

I have some old arcade games on the PS3 which were updated, just wondering if there are any more.

R-type dimensions is great, you get rtype 1 & 2 and can change to enhanced graphics or switch back to original arcade graphics even midplay.

Final fight can change graphics to simiulate a CRT like those retroarch shaders, or smoothen the graphics. Or you can have an arcade bezel.

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo : HD Remix can also play original graphics or updated ones.

Are there any others like this?

so arcade rtype was this


would look like this, there is 2 player mode, gameplay & the feel of it seemed identical to me.



You can also get emulators to play all the old games.

As the graphics were so basic I think they might have put a lot more time into perfecting the gameplay back then. Also you usually only had 1-2 buttons. I dislike many current games, it is like they go "oh the controller has 52 buttons, better make sure to use each and every one of them". I want old school arcade games, lash in 10p and you could just play with no need for instruction.
