  1. Controller problems by GreatDrok · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I bought the Atari Anniversary playstation disc a while back thinking it would be great to be able to play the games included such as Missile Command. However, the PS controller is simply not suited to these games and made them all but unplayable. I hope in these conversions they do a better job. I expect you really need an arcade style controller to play these games properly.

  2. Lord, no I don't want a stack of oldies CDs by Rares+Marian · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I want 200 on a CD dammit. Otherwise I'll be paying for copies of the same shit on different CDs. Or I'll have to buy 7 discs just to get one game from each that I want.

    Since when is the game industry as stupid as the recording industry?

    Before that classics were released in "sets" of maybe four or five. Now we're seeing collections of 20 to 40. Mind you, most of the titles listed have been made available in recent compilations

    It's there. Stargate's name was changed to Defender II for home versions. The KLOV entry is here.
