I just shake my head everytime I see these kinds of compilations released. I’ve been playing these games for years, through emulation. These bundles advertise being able to use filters for ‘authenticity’ gameplay, online playability and such. Emulators can and have long done these things too.
But, there are people out there, who’ll wait for years on end for these compilations to be made and some shamelessly buy them. When you can cut all of that down by spending less than 2 minutes grabbing a ROM and grabbing an emulator before you’re well on your way to revisit your old favorites.


the same reason hollywood keeps remaking and remaking and rebooting and remaking every movie from 1980 to 2000 and beyond. it doesn’t matter how fucking godawful the final product is, the nostalgia draw will guarantee funding
at least the video games are the actual video games from our childhood (i assume)
