Now that's a compilation I could get into. lol I haven't played Vanguard since....since....lets just say its been a while.heh. I loved that game. I haven't been able to find a working MAME ROM for Vanguard. And besides, you need special controls for that game if I remember correctly. Not sure how that would work on a keyboard, though I do have a 6 button wireless controller for my PC.

I loved playing Time Soldiers and Robocop at the local candy store ("Jack's") on the way home from school.

P.O.W. was one of their best games, I have been fascinated by Vietnam since I was a little kid and I absolutely loved playing P.O.W. on the NES and in arcades.  I remember when I was really little thinking how realistic the game must be, haha.

Definitely :). I played a lot of Ikari Warriors at Jack's, too, now that I think about it.

Don't get me started on all the great games they had at the local ice rinks here in NJ. I used to go ice skating during the winter and the summer (NJ Devil's used to practice at one of the the rinks in the summer!). There was an abandoned ice rink adjacent to the new facility.... the old rink was friggin' awesome: huge, tons of seating, totally dillapidated, depressing, home to hundreds of birds, cobwebs everywehre, broken windows, etc. etc.

Officially, the old rink was closed to everyone. Even the janitors didn't go in there. BUT, lo and behold, there were a bunch of arcade cabinets that had been gathering dust. The rink closed in the 70's, so the cabs were just being stored in there, gathering dust from the early 80's... and then forgotten about.

My brothers and I would sneak into the old rink and try to turn on the old games. Not all of them worked, but some did. We still had to pay, of course. And there were only a few electrical receptacles that worked, so, in order to switch games, we had to constantly plug and unplug them. We had to move some cabinets closer to the receptacles, since the cords didn't reach.

We were kicked out of the old rink a few times, but since we weren't doing anything bad (vandalism) or potentially dangerous, we were left to our own devices.

That sounds awesome! An abandoned skating rink with arcade machines! Sounds like the perfect teenage hideout in an 80's movie!

Exactly. It really was awesome, yet depressing. The new rink, well, it was really sterile and managed to suck away your soul. The old rink, and the other rinks I went to, always had a more positive vibe.

All ice rinks, though, have a weird depressing mood to them.

It is one of the things I love about them.

I am floored that Neo Turf Masters is included, of all games.  It's a great game but not something you'd expect in any compilation.

I wonder if they will have 480p and 240p modes.  480i sucks ass for these types of games.

I think it's lame, that games that already are in SNK collections for PS2, are on this as well.  There's already a Fatal Fury Collection, & an Art of Fighting Collection, & Metal Slug Collection, & there's going to be a Samurai Showdown Collection.  There will probably be a King of Fighters Collection, but, I don't care so much about that, so I don't mind one of those being in here.  All in all though, I'm stoked!
