The Megadrive bit is really good - S3&K not withstanding. There aren't any obvious emulation problems in any of the games I'm familiar with and the game list is pretty huge. For the price, it's great value.
Space Harrier is a disappointment for me, as I know the game so well and the emulation is clearly pretty ropey. The other arcade games that I've unlocked seem much better, though.

It's a shame to read about the problems with Space Harrier. I just wish Sega could get it's act together across regions and stop replicating work that has already been perfected elsewhere.
Sega Japan had a perfect emulation of Space Harrier arcade on the PS2 Space Harrier Complete Collection yet it seems like Backbone had to reinvent the wheel (probably because they weren't allowed to use the previous work) so we end up with a poorer quality version this time around.

The graphical glitches are minor compared to the utterly wrong audio, though.

Originally posted by JamesS View PostIt's really obvious on the title screen. Watch the logo scale in and compare it to the arcade version. It keeps jumping sideways rather than smoothly scaling up in place.

Are you playing the PS3 US version? Maybe it's different in different versions or something? The Sega Ages versions are spot on and don't sound anything like the version I have. The Giant Bomb review mentions it too, so it's not just me going mad.
It's not a huge problem anyway, as I've got the Space Harrier Complete collection on PS2, and it's not exactly the main focus of this compilation, which is otherwise great. I was mostly put in a bad mood by having to play bloody Thunderblade to unlock it

Yeah that's not aged well at all...
I think it's a really fantastic compilation. Sure you could moan about the sonic knuckles issue and that many of these games have been available on past systems but I still think it's incredible value for money.
Christ I would have paid £20 just for shinobi, the fact it has 47 other games on it just sweetens the deal for me.

Picked this up today and am pleased with it overall as its got a nice selection of games, though a bit dissapointed at the lack of a few key arcade games such as Outrun, Afterburner and Hang On.
Personally I prefer having the graphics filter on, especially with a HD tv I think its quite ugly without it.
Main gripe so far is the sound effect, notably on Sonic 3 first level when the ship drops bombs overhead it just sounds really bad.
