Tecmo this time; man, this year's like Christmas for compilations-and I'm lovin' it!

Oh screw this one

They're charging $50 for it and here's what you get:
# Tecmo Bowl
# Solomon's Key
# Rygar
# Star Force
# Bomb Jack
# Tecmo Cup
# Pinball Action
# Pleiads
# Senjyo
# Strato Fighter

Something tells me a lot of people are going to be confused when they play Tecmo Bowl and Rygar, too... they're all arcade versions, not NES versions...quite a bit different.

Anyway, Midway set the standard of what to expect from a retro compilation and how much to expect to pay for it.. so this Nintendo/Namco/Tecmo bullshit of charging people through the nose for the sake of riding the nostolgia bandwagon can just blow me.

Midway Arcade Treasures Vol 3 is where it's at

Where did you get this game list from?? Not that I think that you're lying, but IGN didn't even have a game list for this one.

In any case, I'll gladly shell out the cash for this one. I like the arcade version of Rygar MUCH better then the NES version, which should've included a save feature, IMO.

OK, I just looked up the titles on there that I had never heard of in KLOV, and there seems to be plenty of old-school shooting and shmupping goodness in this collection.

My only complaint is that Tecmo didn't include this sweet-looking shmup:

I googled a bit

Trying to find the actual press release, still
