** With this disk and the Game Boy Player, every Zelda game prior to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|The Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass]]'' (other than the CD-i games, which are [[Canon Dis Continuity]]) can be played on one system. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past]]'' was not on the disc due to already getting an [[Updated Rerelease]] on the GBA.
* ''Sega Genesis Collection'' on [[Play Station 2]] and [[Play Station Portable]].
** ''Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection'' (named ''Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection'' in America; a case of [[Spotlight-Stealing Title]]) on the Xbox 360 and [[
* The ''Midway Arcade Treasures'' trilogy on [[Play Station 2]], [[X Box]], [[Game Cube]] and PC collected many well-known and obscure [[Arcade Game|Arcade Games]] from the [[Midway Games]], [[Atari|Atari Games]] and Williams libraries. This was preceded in the 1990s by the ''Arcade's Greatest Hits'' compilations for various consoles; the ''Atari Collection'' volumes actually included pre-Crash Atari games which Midway otherwise didn't have the rights to.
* ''Sonic Mega Collection'' on Gamecube collects [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'s entire Mega Drive (Genesis in America) library (including all three ''Sonic & Knuckles'' lock-ons) as well as ''[[Sonic 3D Flickies Island]]'''s ancestor ''[[Flicky]]'' and the unrelated classic ''[[Ristar]]''. It also had an [[Updated Rerelease]] in ''Sonic Mega Collection Plus'' for Playstation 2 and Xbox, which added half of the [[Game Gear]] ''Sonic'' titles, ''[[The Ooze]]'' and ''[[Comix Zone]]'' (the latter two were formerly exclusive to the Japanese release of the original Gamecube collection because Sega of America was originally worried about the ESRB rating).

** There was also a [[No Export for You|Japan-only]] series called ''Taito Memories'', four releases in total that contained all but five of the games that ''Legends'' did, plus about 30 or so more. There is a discussion of the differences and a complete list of games [http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156427 here].
* ''[[Space Invaders]] Anniversary'' had various incarnations of the first game, upright and tabletop versions of ''Space Invaders Part II'', and a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhDEP2KgFT0 new 3D version of the first game].
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' has had several compilations depending on whether you're in North America, Europe or Japan. In North America, there's ''Final Fantasy Anthology'' (''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''), ''Final Fantasy Origins'' (''[[Final Fantasy I]]'' and ''[[
* ''Activision Anthology'' on the [[Play Station 2]] and PC gathers nearly all of [[Activision]]'s [[Atari 2600]] library. It also goes the extra mile in putting you in [[The Eighties]] with its 80's gamer's room interface and licensed songs from the era playing in the background during gameplay if you want to. The PC version even includes some homebrew games in the list.
* ''[[Guitar Hero]]: Smash Hits'' can be considered a variant of sorts, as its setlist consists entirely of fan favorites from the first three ''Guitar Hero'' games
Line 72:
** Not only that, but the games had already been released as the ''[[Fallout]] Collection'', with the same 3 games.
** [http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10351695-17.html?tag=newsLatestHeadlinesArea.0 Bethesda Softworks agrees that it's stupid.] And illegal, apparently.
* To tithe players over until the release of ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]] III'', an [[Updated Rerelease]] of the first two games were rereleased in a Blu-Ray compilation disc, with full Trophy support and anti-aliased 720p visuals running at a constant 60 frames per second. There's also a [[
* ''Raiden Fighters Aces'' for the [[Xbox 360]] is a compilation of all three ''Raiden Fighters'' games, released in 2008 in Japan and 2009 in North America, 10 and 11 years, respectively, after the newest game in the compilation, ''Raiden Fighters Jet''. This is after two failed attempts to port the series--once for the [[Sega Saturn]] in 1997, and once for the original Xbox and PC in 2003.
* [[Humongous Entertainment]] did a LOT of these. Let's see, there's the Humongous Classics Collection, Super Duper Arcades 1 and 2, the Junior Field Trips Collection, the Triple Treat Packs, [[Backyard Sports]] Three pack, the three double packs for [[Putt-Putt]], [[Freddi Fish]], and [[Pajama Sam]]...do we need to go on any further?
Line 107:
* ''Data East Arcade Classics'' on the Wii.
* The [[Xbox 360]] has a compliation of ''[[Plants vs. Zombies]]'', ''Peggle'', and ''Zuma''.
* The recent trend of [[
* ''Microsoft Arcade'', released for the IBM PC and [[Apple Macintosh]] in 1993, was the first compilation of golden age [[Atari]] games. Microsoft later released ''Return of Arcade'' and ''Revenge of Arcade'' for Windows 95; both were compilations of old Namco games.
* [[Hudson Soft]] released a fair number of these, but only in Japan:
