I'm after the more mainstream "Atari Arcade Hits Vol.2" on the PSOne which features Paperboy, Gauntlet, and the sublime Crystal Castles, and a coupla' others whose names, embarrasingly, have escaped me at the moment.

Hopefully Grover will be able to pick one up for me during his trip to the States..

720degrees and Roadblasters - 720's a bit pants though IMO.

Another here for Namco 4. Most of the review sites suggest that this is the most 'average' one out of the series. But for me, it's got three games that I loved as a kid. Assault, Pacland and Ordyne.

The Arcade Party Pack's also not bad for Super Sprint, Smash TV and Rampage.

Also the Rainbow islands/ Bubble Bobble

Can't really choose a favourite one out of the three.

I've got an awful lot of mileage out of Namco Museum Vol. 1 (Japanese version) ... Bosconian and New Rally X played until my thumbs were aching

I've also got Vols. 3 & 5 too, but ~ I'm ashamed to admit it ... I've not unsealed them yet

I used to love the Namco packs (only for Ordyne), but it was all blown away by the Ps1 conversion of Powerdrift on Susuki Vol. 1. Finally a decent port.
Anyway, Capcom's generations was the best value as it had the GnG series (perfectly ported) for ?20. That was before Mame had supported those ports (or before i knew anyway!).
