Classic games which have not returned to the limelight...

We've had multiple opportunities to be graced with Sonic CD with the release of Sonic Jam and even more recently --- Sonic Mega Collection. And what is the result...special footage of the beginning/ending Sonic CD sequences, art assets...but alas - no SONIC CD. I'd would love if not only could we get the original Sonic CD package with all the original music, but a nice bonus which includes the import music (which MANY have declared, including the now defunct GameFan editors to be the best overall). So how many of you still crave this game, or at the very least would love to see it released for the Gamecube in an upcoming compilation package (wishful thinking) or merely as a seperate release?

In light of Sega's continued diss of the game, I say that somebody should put an ISO (or some other copy) online, as well as a link for an emulator. Sega CD doesnt have any sort of copy protection so it aint no thang.

And maybe send Sega an email detailing its location. Maybe then theyll get the message that we would much rather play Sonic CD than Sonic fucking Spinball. Actions speak louder than words after all.

I hated that THQ put Spinball on the GBA Sega Collection.

I would like the original TMNT arcade game along with Simpsons,
Crimefighters, and Sunset Riders on one compilation disc.
They are some of the most popular games on MAME and they deserve a proper 4 player home release. Konami should take the hint.

Great, you just made me drool on my keyboard. I missed the whole Sonic series since I only acquired my Genesis this summer. I feel like I've missed a giant chunk of gaming history.

Well, Sega has released and re-released the PC version of Sonic CD many times over the last few years. You can probably pick up a 3 pack of Sonic CD, Sonic R, and Sonic & Knuckles for PC at just about any office store like Staples (Bureau en Gros), Office Depot, or Office Max for about $5.

Dracula X. Dracula X rereleased for the PSX is about as obvious and natural as anything. Konami really dropped the ball IMO, I don't think the "window" is really there anymore. It probably would have sold a lot more than Chronicles did, especially if promoted as "the prequel to SOTN".

I am still eagerly awaiting an arcade-perfect release of TMNT: The Arcade Game to hit the consoles again. But is Konami listening???? No. :(

I would love that Star Wars: ROTJ arcade game too. I actually like that. I believe Atari made it :)

I'd love a Road Rash collection with Star Riders included. I never did get to play that laserdisc game.

I am still dumbfounded why they chose the Sharp X68000 Castlevania over Dracula X. Sure, Dracula X isn't as rare as the Sharp game in Japan, but it's SO MUCH BETTER! Hey Konami, Haunted Castle is also pretty hard to come by. Better give that a PSX release before Dracula X as well. *Sigh* Such an odd decision. And yes, I'd buy a PSX Dracula X if it were released today. Heck, I'd buy it if it were released 10 years from now.

Add X-men to the mix, and that will make me very happy.

Same can be said about Capcom. I would love to see Capcom Shooter compilation with UN Squadron, Carrier Airwing and other Capcom shooters.

And their Beat-them-up compilation, with AVP, Punisher and other games.

We can dream, right? :p

Super Contra (Arcade), Bionic Commando (Arcade & NES), Dracula X, Radiant Silvergun, TMNT: Arcade Game, Simpsons: Arcade Game, Panzer Dragoon Saga. To name a few.

I'd also love to see Mega Man 1-6 ported to the GBA.

I've heard the imort Sonic CD music, and maybe its just me, but I don't see this overall brilliance. I would say that the music is an even split between the american and japanese releases. Some tracks are better than others from each side. I will admit that I think some of the japanese music sounds downright fruity.

Super Punch-Out!! Goddamnit! GBA is most likely, and people love Punch-Out (more Tyson fans then Super though) But I want a new one!

SAY! Doesn't Konami have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles videogame rights again, through the new TV show?

Is it time to start petitioning for a TMNT Arcade Game easter egg?

Konami said they want this new TMNT game to be in the same area as Turtles in Time. If they were smart/cool they would throw in the Arcade game. Unless Ultra still owns the rights (wink wink).

Well I guess you could say that Ultra still owns them... is that why you're winking... or do you have something in your eye?

Although I would like to see Sonic CD released on a newer system, what is the fuss about really? You can buy a Sega CD with sonic for less than the price of a new PS2 game, and you don't have to worry about emulation issues since you are playing the real deal.

Dracula X on the other hand, would be welcome since most people aren't willing to shell out that kind of money on a Duo and the game.

I want TMNT Arcade soooo badly. I am actually thinking about having my Xbox modded for the sole purpose of playing TMNT Arcade and Shinobi through MAME on my tv.

Damn that is a great idea... unfortunately I don't have broadband. :( For the record we have a Simpson's and an original Turtles arcade boards owned by the store that we sometimes hook up using the store supergun. One of these days we need to get a 4 player cabinet to put those in. :)

Ummm.... Ultra is Konami. Ultra was the result of Konami playing Nintendo's little game so they could release more NES games. Nintendo limited the number of games each publisher could put out (or something).

That's what I thought he was winking about... As I said technically you could say that Ultra still owned them since Ultra is Konami. :p

WWF Wrestlefest and WWF Superstars deserved some sort of home version, yet they never got it. Damn shame that it's far too late now.
