Revision 1.2 I believe.

You mean when she would toss her fan at the baby? That was sweet.

:wtf:

The MKs and Narc alone would make it worthwhile for me. Best collection evar.
Rampage World Tour, is that the one with the rendered characters? Did it have 3 player like the old arcade game did?

I guess I'll stand alone on this one. Not that I won't buy it, because it's cheap, and like I said, I hope more people do these things...I guess it's just that the sucky ones in this one stand out much more for me for some reason. Xenophobe, SH2, a couple others.

Aside from Smash TV and a few others, most of that collection could be found in other Midway/Williams collections on various systems.

They went above and beyond with this Volume 2 set. I'm...I'm in shock right now.

You stand alone. Go fart in your corner.

:( Had ROADBLASTERS too (and a good version)

Dude, it's like if Shakespeare's plays got split into two volumes and you bought Vol. 1 because it had Hamlet, the Tempest, and Midsummer Night's Dream. Does that mean that Vol. 2 sucks because it doesn't have those plays? No, it's just a different yet equally brilliant collection.

Same deal with the Midway collections. Just because the second collection has a different assortment of games doesn't make it worse.

And Xenophobe most assuredly does not suck.

Truth.

I remember playing in the arcade first time on the wacky multi-monitor machine and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

Kidnemo knows where it's at.

I think a good percentage of this board really has no concept of how fantastic these old Atari/Midway/Williams games are, because they played them for the first time (if at all) on the NES.

Take Xenophobe for example. I can understand a lack of enthusiasm if your only memory comes from the shitty NES port, but the arcade version was so much fun! Three screens, three players, fun weapons, great artwork...

I totally forgot about the NES one, honestly ;p

Jeez that's just fucking sweet and at $20 it truly is a steal.

All I can say is :)
