Namco Museum Virtual Arcade for the Xbox 360 is excellent for Pac-Man Championship Edition & Galaga Legions, as well as all the other classics.

 

The 4 game Pac-Man collection on the GBA is pretty cool for what it is as well.

 

Then of course there's the plethora of amazing compilations for the PS2 previously mentioned.

I'm a big fan of compilation packs! I have quite a few in my collection. A few of my favorites are:

 

-The Mega Man and Mega Man X ones on the PS2: There's no cheaper way to get these games all together on a real console, and the emulation is really nice. While I have all of the original NES cartridges, I was late to the game on the SNES games, and buying them now is just too much. And I dig the PS2 versions especially for the Mega Man X one because the controller layout is close to the SNES. I was actually playing the Mega Man X one yesterday!

 

-Konami Arcade Classics on the PS1 and the GBA are both great. The GBA one is a little easier to find, but the PS1 version has more games.

 

-All of the various Capcom ones that are out there are really great. The PSP had a few of them that were exclusive that were awesome.

 

-Speaking of the PSP, there were a lot of these that were on there, which was nice to have on the go. The SNK Classics one, the Metal Slug one, and EA Replay were all pretty solid.

 

-The Sonic Mega and Gems Collections were excellent in their time. The Gems one has a few games that are tough to find.

 

-All of the Namco Museum games were pretty good on the PS1. I have 1,3, and 5, and always had trouble finding 2 and 4. Someday...

 

-There are a few shooter comps that I have that I really love. Gradius III and IV, R-Types, and The Raiden Project are all awesome.
