@ve3tro: "Publishers have been using nostalgia as an effective tool over the last few years. It’s probably quite easy to release video-game collections, using titles from their back catalog. Best of all is that it also pleases long time fans. A publisher like Capcom is bound to have an impressive back catalog full of classics."
Amazon’s Video Games All Deals have been revealed.
Brash Games writes "Despite the overriding feeling that this could, and really should have been a more definitive collection of Capcom’s online offerings, there is no doubt that, for the most part, you’re getting a very strong selection of games here at a very reasonable price".
Ever since Sega released Mega Games I for the Megadrive in 1992, taking advantage of increased cartridge capacity, the 'game collection' has been an enduring product from various developers. Be they labours of love combined with out and out value for money (see Valve's incredible Orange Box and Konami's near-perfect Metal Gear Solid HD Collection) or hurried, overpriced cash-ins (Nintendo's recent reboot of Super Mario All-Stars was essentially a SNES rom on a Wii disc), there is nary a gamer without at least one such collection in their stash.
