From the maker of "Best and Worst Classic Collection Games" ( https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=3208874 ) comes this thread. This is one of the rare wishlists I've made. I ask you here about what you want in a game that has multiple classic games in one package. It can be one series, one maker, or whatever. The gaming people may not fully listen to you, but at least be able to make your own ideas in regards to what you'd like to see in a classic game collection. I will name a few to get things started.
Dream Game Collection: Sega Arcade Racing Games
I've had a strange love of Sega for Sega racing games. It's the kind of love relationship I've had with XBOX Racing titles (namely the PGR series and Forza 1). But when you think about it, Sega does a pretty good job with racing titles. Part of what drives me about past Sega titles has been their innovative use of technology. Some of Sega's past games like "Galaxy Force 2," "OutRunners," "Super Monaco GP," "Time Traveller," "After Burner," and games like that. This dream game collection for me consists of titles that I'd be happy to see in a classic collection focused on Sega racing titles. They include titles in 2D and 3D. Even with all-time classics, I want little-known titles to show up. Here is my model with games sorted from earliest to latest:
LEGEND:
! - could it fit onto one disc (have PS2 and PSP in mind)?
# - not truly likely, but would be cool!
* OutRun
* Turbo OutRun
* OutRunners
* Hang-On
* Super Hang-On
* Power Drift
* Super Monaco GP
* Rad Mobile/Gale Racer
* GP Rider
* F1 Exhaust Note and F1 Super Lap (since both are pretty unknown)
* Virtua Racing
* Daytona USA!
* Daytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge (or even Daytona USA 2: Power Edition)!#
* Super GT/SCUD Race! <<< what I've called the best racing game to never be released for home consoles or PC; very unsure of "SCUD Race Plus," which has a bonus track where you race an oval with toy cars
* SEGA Rally Championship!
* Manx TT!
* Le Mans 24!
* Ferrari F355 Challenge!# <<< maybe with three-screen support?
* Club Kart <<< just for diversity
* Sega Rally 2 Championship!#
Interesting things to consider is perhaps online play for some games. Prime contenders would be the games that offer network play and can be linked together. These include games like Daytona USA, OutRunners, Manx TT, Super GT/SCUD Race, and other games where the actual arcade units can be linked together. There could be room to improvise to make these 20th Century games come alive in this new generation. I'd prefer sounds and music to be as authentic to the classic games as possible. Maybe offer some remixes and other variations of classic songs, but I'm more a purist. So games with terrible sound tracks should remain terrible as the true to the classic arcade unit as possible.
That's one such model. Express your own dream game collections by replying away. I may have a few more I wouldn't mind seeing. Maybe I'll get to them in the future.
