Best Classic Game Compilation

Chances are you're nostalgic for some of the old games you used to play. Recognizing this, some publishers have released compilations of yesteryear's games on current-generation platforms. It's presumably rather easy to slap together a game compilation of some sort, but certain collections really go out of their way to provide a complete experience. Hence, our award for Best Classic Game Compilation. The finalists:

Once upon a time, an upstart Japanese developer became one of the most respected arcade developers in the industry and went on to supplant Nintendo's supremacy in the console market. THQ's Game Boy Advance collection of Space Harrier, OutRun, Super Hang-On, and After Burner is a sampling of the games that helped make it all happen.
