Pic related had a ton of emulation problems in hindsight and the extras weren't much to write home about, but I dumped hours into Joust, Sinistar, Robotron, Smash TV, and Defender. This was basically my introduction to Williams and Atari arcade games.

This and Mega Collection. Though some of the ways to unlock stuff is a little annoying they're pretty much the most solid ways to play Sonic and other assorted Sega games with a bunch of other extras. Probably the way a lot of SA2 players experienced the classic games firsthand.

>Dead or Alive Ultimate is a compilation fighting game developed by Team Ninja and released by Tecmo for the Xbox in 2004. It is a collection of the two previous games in the series, 1996's Dead or Alive and 1999's Dead or Alive 2. It marks the only game in the series to date to be a compilation. DOA Ultimate contains a high-resolution edition of the Sega Saturn version of Dead or Alive, and an enhanced remake of DOA2 which utilized the Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball graphics engine and offered Dead or Alive 3 game mechanics, new game content, online multiplayer capabilities, and the inclusion of Hitomi as a playable character

Honestly the only good PS2 compilation out there is this Sega AGES 2500 one that had damn near all of them worth playing on one disc, i think it was a pack in with a playstation magazine, you can find the iso pretty easily with some googling.

The reason why its basically the only good one is because it has every model 2 port sega made for ps2 which the system is actually really suited to. There are very few ports of 2D arcade games on ps2 that actually run at the correct resolution or aren't better emulated on something else.

Saturn ports are not only slightly better than the PS1 ports, but they also give the player the pleasure of using one of the best stock 2D controllers of all time instead of using one of the worst

Pretty much everything else posted in here is useless garbage. Good /vr/ compilations for the most part died after the PS1, SS and N64 died; i.e. when consoles became powerful enough to easily emulate old games and 480i+ became standard, producing worthless laggy trash that can only satisfy casual nostalgia fags and retards
