    Easily worth the $20 for full arcade versions of Gunsmoke, Final Fight, and 3 Street Fighters. A few clunkers you'll probably abandon, but include 1942 + 1943, Ghosts & Goblins + Ghouls & Ghosts, not to mention Legendary Wings! C'mon! One of the best old school compilations I've ever bought.

    I have played both the Xbox and ps2 version but I don’t see any difference (go see my Xbox review of why I put a 9)

    Not only does it give you a lot of information and bonuses with every game in the set, it also (as one of my colleagues put it earlier today) forces you to play each game like a man. If you want to see and learn everything you can about a particular game, you really have to work at it and meet specific challenges to do so.

    Whatever the future brings, this collection represents a decade of brilliance, a look at a top arcade developer in its prime; any serious gamer needs to own this slice of history.
