In response to the Midway topic, what arcade compilations have you owned?
I had Atari Anniversary Edition (GBA). It got boring after awhile. I'm too young to remember the golden age of arcades. By the time I went to arcades, they'd replaced Asteroids and Space Invaders with Area 51 and Tekken (and even those were old).
I also had Namco Museum (GBA). Again, I had little interest in the games, except Ms. Pac Man. I found Pole Position to be particularly confusing.

The Playstation was my retro-arcade machine and Williams Greatest Hits was the reason I bought a Playstation. I also had Midway's Arcade Greatest Hits and Greatest Hits volume 2 and the two Atari compilations they released. From Namco Museum vols. 1-5 and the import-only volume R. Nichibutsu Arcade Classics (again import-only and a rare beast even then) Capcom Collection (or whatever those were called) -- I cannot recall how many volumes there were, but I had to import from Japan, though these were also released in Europe. Raiden I&II Buster Bros. Collection (this should really get resurrected on the Wii) Bubble Bobble (included Rainbow Islands as well)
On the Wii I've got a few which can be seen on my Backloggery.
On the GBA I've got Atari Anniversary Advance, Konami Arcade Classics, Tron 2.0 (includes emulations of Tron and Tron Deadly Discs) and Activision Anthology (probably the only one of these I'm going to keep).
Currently I have the Sonic Mega Collection Plus (Xbox) Mega Man Anniversary Collection (Xbox) Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (XBox) Animal Crossing (GCN) includes 18 NES titles so its pretty much it a retro collection
Formerly owned games include Capcom Collection Vol 1 (Xbox) Namco Museum (GBA) Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection (PC)
Namco Museum (GBA) Pac Man Collection (GBA) (Can't find it) Super Mario Advanced 1 & 3 (GBA) (Have Mario Bros.) Pac Man World 2 (GCN) Sonic Mega Collection (GCN) Sonic Gams Collection (GCN)
Strictly counting "arcade" compilations: Midway Arcade Treasures, all 3 for PS2. Capcom Classics Collection, both for PS2. Namco Museum 1, 2 and 4 for PS1. Konami Arcade Advance (GBA). I think there were two box versions. I got the knockoff Bruce Lee cover, but I'm not going to buy the starburst cover. Konami Classic Series: Arcade Hits (DS). Why'd they leave out Frogger and Gyruss (included in the GBA comp)? Namco Museum, both PS2 installments. Taito Legends 1 & 2 for PS2 (I hear it was released on PS2, Xbox and PC with a couple exclusives to each. )
