Let's face it ladies and gentleman, times are changing and games are becoming more evolved by the microsecond. But hey everyone loves to relive their childhood once in a while with the games that were awesome back in the day and are actually stillawesome now. But hey not everyone has the cash to fork over 50 bucks for a used sega genesis and copy of sonic the hedgehog 2, that actually isn't even guaranteed to work. What if I told you, you could go out and fork over a measly 12-18 bucks for a collection of 16 sonic games that you could playon your current gen systems. You'd say hallelujah because this is the truth my friends. With times flying by people want to experience those old games they whooped their friends in oh so many years ago and the video game companies have done something incredibly smart and started releasing thingssuch as compilation packages including anywhere from 4-20 different games in a certain series. Now this my friends is, SMART, we need to see more of this. Ifthe re-released Mario All-Stars and included some of Mario's N64 outings, there would be pani on the streets over the greatest thing to happen to video games since the power glove....... That was just a little joke. But back to the point, compilations are awesome, they have a ton of games, usually include updated graphics and features, and probably cost less than the one original title from the collection. My personal favorites are the Sonic and Mega Man compilations, but hey lets face it not everyone likes these two franchises, personallyI love them but you know what, "To Each His Own That's What I Always Say." But, what needs to happen now, is we need some more compilations, maybe even for the portables, I know for a fact that the DS or PSP could handle The Mega Man Anniversery Set or Sonic Collection Plus flawlessly. So why not? That's a great qustion. People want more bang for their buck and occasionally the game companies screw up and actually give is that satisfaction. Do yourselves a favor, take an old game franchise you love go into some forums or something and make a post stating how cool a collection of all the so-and-so games would be. Get tons of posts. Create a new world order and get your compilation because as gamers some times you just dont want to shell out hard earned cash for a half-broken SNES and cracked in half donkey kong country cartridge. Game On!
