  1. Arguably, there are other classics that should have been included, but it's an excellent sampling and a nice blast from the past if you're interested in walking down memory lane.
  2. One element I thought was pretty nifty was the fact that the screen displays each game exactly as it first appeared. What this means is you can look to the right side of the screen while playing Dig-Dug and see your score grow and post. I know it's a little thing, but really- it does help the game feel more like you're playing an actual arcade machine than a home television.
  3. This package contains the major hits that most fans are after.

    A compilation this old and overused should have more than just some quickly ported games and a handful of awful filler titles.

    Buy it, you wont regret the money you pay for it. For crying out loud its $30. But not as good as Halo.
