Isn't it annoying how companies seemingly refuse to put all their old, back catalogue games on a nice compilation disc for a new format? Even when they do there are only six or so games on a disc where there could be easily 4 or 5 times that many.
In the days of the 8-bit computer compilations were 2-a-penny and even recent games that had been released the year before were published again as part of a sporting, action or film set that comprised anything from 6 to 20 games. These were new games at the time, so surely someone can do this now with older games?
Imagine being able to choose from 20 officially licenced Megadrive or Sega arcade games on one Dreamcast or PS2 CD. The front end could be a nice 3D arcade, where you walked up to the machine and it became full screen. This would cut down on the amount of emulated roms that are floating around on the internet and bring older games to a wider audience. There are many people crying out for old Sega and Nintendo games at the moment and many more people who don't realise what they've missed by not playing them.
Frankly, for the companies like Sega, it's a way to make easy money and that can only be a good thing for them and for us.

Not me, that's for sure.
Does remembering the Dizzy collection making your head spin?
Like a whirlpool does it never end?
And is it CodeMasters making it spin?
Is it making you Dizzy? :)

Compilations are starting to come back... though with older titles and as more of a 'more expensive than budget, but cheaper than full price'... mid-price affair...
EA have recently sarted releaseding a few, as have Eidos...
But people do tend to prefer to by a selection of budget games rather than buying a compilation with a couple of games they like and the rest there never going to use...
The days of the Beau-Jolly are fortunatly owver... since it was a time when the UK computer games scene was a complete mess (about the time Ultimate left to become Rare)
