Are the above collections worthy of purchasing?

Legendarycr8ter

Don't listen to this guy, he has no clue what he's talking about. Both are fantastic collection and both have far better games on them than you're average classic game collection. Both are also pretty freaking cheap.

I don't know what he's paying for these collections, but at Gamestop SNK is only $6.99 and the Sega Genesis Collection is only $9.99. That most certainly is not more expensive than downloading the games individually. It's FAR cheaper. And there are 15 excellent games on the SNK collection, not just 7.

Here's a list of the games on each, if you want to know.

SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1

• Art of Fighting
• Baseball Stars 2
• Burning Fight
• Fatal Fury
• King of Fighters 94
• King of the Monsters
• Last Resort
• Magician Lord
• Metal Slug
• Neo Turf Masters
• Samurai Shodown
• Sengoku
• Shock Troopers
• Super Sidekicks 3
• Top Hunter
• World Heroes

Sega Genesis Collection:

• Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
• Altered Beast
• Bonanza Bros.
• Columns
• Comix Zone
• Decap Attack
• Ecco the Dolphin
• Ecco: The Tides of Time
• Ecco Jr.
• Flicky
• Gain Ground
• Golden Axe
• Golden Axe II
• Golden Axe III
• Kid Chameleon
• Phantasy Star II
• Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom
• Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
• Ristar
• Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi
• Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
• Sonic the Hedgehog
• Sonic the Hedgehog 2
• Super Thunder Blade
• Sword of Vermilion
• Vectorman
• Vectorman 2
• Virtua Fighter 2

I HIGHLY recommend picking up both. So many fan-freaking-tastic games for such a cheap price. However if you have a 360 or PS3, the "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection" has a more games on it than the "Sega Genesis Collection".

+1 for Emerald's post. I have both collections and they're very much worth it.

Legendarycr8ter

you can buy either collection for 20 bucks

and I can garantee you that you will pay a LOT more if you buy them indivisually on XBL, VC or PSN

Emerald_Warrior and others,thanks!

I picked up the Mega Drive Collection today!

Along with a brand new copy of FFX!

[QUOTE="Emerald_Warrior"]

[QUOTE="Legendarycr8ter"] No, each of the games on each can be downloaded for less than it would cost to buy the retail collection box. SNK collection Vol.1 was valid until about a few years ago when now you can download like all 7 games for less than the collection. with some being free with purchasing some of them if that deal still is going on. Either way, unless you want to be ripped off, no.Legendarycr8ter

Where can you get all those games individually for $10? Got links? That's BS. And even if that were true, last I checked, $6.99 is cheaper than $10.

And you said there's only 7 games on a compilation with 16 games, more than double the amount you said. Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about here, to me.

[QUOTE="Emerald_Warrior"]

[QUOTE="Legendarycr8ter"] And I can get the contents of both collections for around $10 or $11. But I guess instead of asking me just say I don't know what I am talking about, that works.

Well, Neo Geo downloads are 900 Wii points, which is equal to $9. So really, 1 game is more expensive than the ENTIRE 16-game compilation.

[QUOTE="Emerald_Warrior"]

[QUOTE="Legendarycr8ter"] Which was obviously an exaggeration but I guess I have to say when i am sarcastic instead of being obvious. SNK has deals all the time. I think Neo-Geo station on PSP is still doing buy one get 2 free things going on and some of those series have their own collections that go for around 3 dollars. If they stopped the Neo-Geo station deal then I apologize. But still, the latter part.Legendarycr8ter

Then show me how it's cheaper, or I'll even let you show me how it's the same price as the compilations. Show me an ad, or show me a link. I absolutely, positively, DO NOT believe that you can get those games cheaper individually, or for even the same price.

[QUOTE="Emerald_Warrior"]

[QUOTE="Legendarycr8ter"] See, bringing up the VC makes no sense when the VC is the obvious definition of a Rip-Off ever. i can get Metal Slug cheaper on XBLA than on VC. I get your initial point though. Also no, they stopped the Neo-Geo deal on PSP. Although they may bring it back for Vita. But I did not heard about SNK DLC being released for the Vita yet, so unfortunate. Oh well.Legendarycr8ter

Not at all. You're the one claiming you can get all the games on this compilation for cheaper than the compilation. Surely there must be some sort of information about this somewhere on the internet, right?

Here's a link to the station if you want to know about it, but things were removed(like the forum/chat) and it seems to have been abandoned for the last near 2 years so this double confirms no more deals ever. Oh well http://neogeostation.snkplaymoreusa.com/eu/Legendarycr8ter

Even if it were 2 years ago, and they were having a half off or buy one get on free sale. 2 games would equal the purchase price of the compilation which has 16 games. The math is not adding up no matter how you seem to present this.

The SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 Colleciton is MORE than worth it.

$6.99 at Gamestop for the SNK collection. Go look at their site, right now. I can back up my claim, I still have yet to see you're links or any info to these ridiculous prices that I still do not believe whatsoever.

Just give it up. SNK Arcade Classics is a fantastic deal. It's not how you painted it at all, with only 7 games and expensive as you put it. It has 16 excellent games and it's pretty freaking cheap.

[QUOTE="Emerald_Warrior"]

[QUOTE="Legendarycr8ter"] How would the math not add up, it one get 2 free not one. 3x5 is 15, this means you only have to buy 6 games, and the fact the 6 games are below 4 dollars, or at least they were below $4 dollars, I'll double check later, lets see that would be you would spend less than $19.99 which is the average price of SNK Arcade collection. Or at least form all the used copies I have seen $19.99 is the lowest. You also have to add the fact some games cost even less depending on what the game is. I don't know how it worked or works in PAL.Legendarycr8ter

lol, but you didn't literally say that. You were saying on PSP, not in you're area. Which you still haven't shown me any ads, links, or info. But I'm acting stupid, of course. How silly of me to point out the facts rather than someone else's negatively-skewed (and false) presentation of the game. How shameful of me.

Okay, then I say again. Show me a link, ad, or info, ANYWHERE that shows I can buy those 16 Neo Geo games for even $19.99. You can't, becuase you can't get that many Neo Geo games for that cheap.

But even then, I don't know why you would still pay $19.99 when there's sites like eBay and Amazon out there, too.

You said that you could get all those games individually for less than the SNK Arcade Collection, and you said there were only 7 games on it. That's what this all stemmed from. Neither of those statements are true. You then said that you could do it through the PSP, but couldn't show me any links or info. Then you say that it's $19.99 in Europe. I still say you can't get 16 (not 7) games for $19.99. I'm not saying it's impossible to get the collection for $19.99, I'm saying that you're claim of being able to get all the games on the collection INDIVIDUALLY for $19.99, is BS. I don't think I'm having any trouble following here.

I'm done beating around the bush here I'm just gonna throw it out there:

1. You full of crap about this game and you don't have any idea what you're talking about. It's obvious at this point with the 7 games comment that was "sarcastic" :roll:

2. You can't get all these games individually for $6.99, $9.99, or $19.99

3. You can get SNK Arcade Collection for under $10 in common places like GameStop, eBay, and Amazon.com. If you're paying more then you're getting ripped off.

4. SNK Arcade Collection is far from a rip-off. It's well worth anyone's money for whoever is reading this. 16 fantastic Neo Geo games for under $10. You can't beat that and don't let this guy persuade you otherwise. Unless you're just not into old-school games.

All of the above lead me to believe you don't know much about this game and now you're trying to insult me because you've got no more BS to hide behind.

And you said there's only 7 games on a compilation with 16 games, more than double the amount you said. Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about here, to me.

Even buying the collection for brand new is cheaper($18-25 depending on where you look).
