No Adventure Island?? :-(

Those games are so fun to play on PocketNES.

Check Volume 6.

 

[brandonnn]

Ah crap, it's all 8-bit. Milon's Secret Castle [Meikyuu Kumikyoku] is good and all, but an official portable Do-Re-Milon would be mindblowing. Challenger is a signature Hudson classic (and if I remember correctly was a minor technical marvel, possibly just for something as silly as it scrolled left), but it's completely awful, no? It's never done anything for me, anyway.

So Vol's 2 and 4, then, because Binaryland is one of the best games of all time.

 

[Unison]

Oh.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Oh wow, Volume 5 is gonna be awesome too! Go back and play those games sometime, they hold up very well for 8-bit shooters. Especially Star Soldier.

*Sigh*

I just know I'm gonna end up importing every one of these.

Look post above yours, it's in there... This is sweet, I was just playing the PS2 version of Adventure Island today (it's out in Japan only), and it rocks! The oldschool gameplay is retained completely, just updated visuals.

 

[Ranger X]

Wow. 2 titles in one package is now "a collection". Common Hudson, i know it's a business but pack more!!

 

[xexex]

bring on Nectaris / Military Madness, then we'll talk

 

[demi]

Are GBA games region-free also?

Can't go wrong with Adventure Island 1 - 4

They sure are

 

[Beer Monkey]

What we really need are official sets that clone, down to the last detail, the PC Engine versions of these and other Hudson games, as they were usually superior.

 

[cubicle47b]

Yeah, Hudson kicked serious ass on the TG-16.

They should have, they designed the chipset.
