Its a pretty good deal, especially since the Phantasy star collection can tend to go for over a £100 on cart. 2 sonic the hedgehog games (shame they didn't add the others really), Shinobi 3, Golden Axe Series, And the Ecco the Dolphin series along with some of the cheesy classics.

A must buy, yes you agree.

No Shining Force though, if it had that then it'd be better than sex.

Shining Force would have made it almost perfect (needs Sonic 3 & Knuckles too). VF2 awesome, as is Comix Zone. Sadly Sega seem too concerned with releasing ports of old games instead of creating new ones that people actually want to play. Still, that's a lot of good games for £20.

I must have the exact date for this - people come in and ask for it all the time, and say "well, Game have it in stock". No they don't, it's either a dummy sleeve or something else.

Maybe this is one reason not to sell my PS2 just yet.

It keeps getting pushed back, its now the 2nd of Feb on play.com, I don't really keep up with the game industry these days so don't tend to follow release dates.

Had it come in the post today, didn't expect it to. Thought they'd delay it, but its out.

Yep, came out yesterday. A promo copy came into work but unfortunately it's for PSP not PS2, or I'd have had it. The poster's nice, but can anyone give me the definitive answer of who the character in the bottom left is? I said it was Tyris Flare from Golden Axe, but seeing as Ax Battler's on there too I doubt they'd use two Golden Axe characters.

PS I didn't realise Sonic 2 was on it. Cool.

Nah it isn't Flare, shes got armour on, perhaps a Phantasy star character or from one of the other dungeon crawlers.
