......such as remembering old games as being better/more then they were, all these games are poor. Save your money and buy the Sega Mega Drive Collection instead.

Yet another great retro compilation on the PSP, this time from EA (Electronic Arts) featuring classics like Road Rash 1 - 3, Desert & Jungle Strike, Wing Commander and a few more.
I personally purchased this collection mainly for the Road Rash games, which I absolutely loved when they were out on the Megadrive.
The games themselves haven't really been touched and the gameplay is as playable as ever and seems to have aged really well.
The developers have seemed to have changed the music on all 3 games to have just 1 track playing on Road Rash 1 & 2 and then just 1 different track playing on Road Rash 3. This isn't a big problem as it can be turned off but I can't see much need for the changes as the music was perfectly fine on the originals.
The Strike games are also surprisingly very playable, as I used to find them extremely tricky to play with the d-pad on the Megadrive controller. Playing it with the stick on the PSP seems to work really well.
Syndicate is also one of the best games on this collection. With pretty strategic gameplay and loads of missions based all over the (futuristic) world, there's plenty of content to keep you busy here.
Haunting starring Polterguy is a bizarre but fun game where you wander around a house and have to possess objects to scare all of the occupants. I'd never played (or even heard) of this before, so it is quite a good bonus to the collection.
B.O.B. is a fairly basic platform-shooter which is fairly similar to Super Metroid on the SNES. Not bad for a few minutes and is pretty easy to finish.
Other games in the collection include Wing Commander and its add-on, Secret Missions. Both of them are pretty bad and are quite non-responsive. There's also Mutant League Football which is pretty good for a game or two. I would have preferred one of the old Madden games (preferably `92 or `93) which were the best of their time. Ultima VII is an RPG what is at a very weird angle and seems pretty dull.
The collection is very good, if only for Road Rash 1-3, Desert & Jungle Strike and Syndicate. There are better compilations on the PSP like the Sega Megadrive Collection and Midway Arcade Treasures Extended, but like this collection, there will be only a select few that you will remember and love. If you can get EA Replay cheap, I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who played these games back in the early-mid 90's.
Disappointing Value for Money April 12, 2007

As written below, the lack of original soundtrack for Road Rash is a big negative point, I remember the Tennessee track in Road Rash II having a particularly toe-tapping theme tune, and this is a disappointment. Also, I seem to remember being able to alternate between weapons in Road Rash 3. This doesn't seem to be possible now, unless I'm missing something.
Apart from that, Desert Strike and Jungle Strike are good games still, with decent sound effects and good gameplay, particularly in Desert Strike.
Worth a purchase, but could have been so much better, especially at the high price compared with the Sega Mega Drive Collection.
Road Rash Ruined February 27, 2007

Most of the games in this collection are old Sega Megadrive titles but, in a bizarre twist, Road Rash, Road Rash II and Road Rash III do not contain any of the original, classic music by Rob Hubbard. Instead you get some awful, looped dance music. In Road Rash I & II, there's not even any title music! It's even more strange, considering that none of the other games in this collection have been tampered with like that.
Desert & Jungle Strike are pretty much intact, although there are some problems with some of the sound effects.
Budokan is still very very boring and unresponsive, just like the original.
Syndicate is fun, but tricky (I always preferred Syndicate Wars myself).
Mutant League Football is a great take on American Footbal and The Haunting is quite original.
Never played the rest before so can't really compare them. I mainly bought this collection for some Road Rash nostalgia and EA have ruined that for me.
