anthology games

[awsomo3000]

Yesterday while browsing my local video game store i noticed a game titled activion classics.It had 30 of the most popular activision games that came out for the 2600.Now it has some great games ,pitfall plaque attack keystone kapers to name a few.But everytime i played a game i found myself badly wanting the "real" version.I felt like a whore.Now that i have this crap getting the real version would be practicly poinless.Ive decided that im never going to play this game again and pretend like i dont even have it.

To my fellow collectors,how do you feel about the "anthology" or collection games?insight would be apriciated.

Well, I like anthologies in general. I got the Activision Anthology for PS2 and loved it so much I had to get a 2600 (you really need paddles to play Kaboom!). AND now THAT led to the Colecovision that I just bought today. Again, it boils down to how much we want to spend.

Well, I obtained a box of (mostly) boxed 2600 games from some woman I dated briefly. Outside of Pac-Man and E.T. I got a few good ones like Kaboom! I couldn't believe how much better I was able to do with the paddles as opposed to the playstation thumb screw. I think that one is worth having because of that. Many of the others transfer well and I do fine with them on the Anthology but still would like to be able to play them on the vcs.
