Yet another classics compilation, this time from EA

If the upcoming Capcom Classics Reloaded or the insanely awesome Sega Genesis Collection aren't enough retro games for you, then you might want to check out EA's offering. Gamespot recently spotted a Gamestop listing (these names always confuse me) called EA Replay, and it should feature the following games:B.O.B.--1993--SNES and Genesis
Budokan--1990--Genesis
Desert Strike--1993--SNES and Genesis
Jungle Strike--1993--SNES and Genesis
Haunting Starring Polterguy--1993--Genesis
Mutant League Football--1993--Genesis
Road Rash--1992--Genesis, later on 3DO
Road Rash II--1993--Genesis
Road Rash III--1995--Genesis
Syndicate--1995--SNES, 3DO, Jaguar
Ultima: The Black Gate--1994--SNES
Virtual Pinball--1993--Genesis
Wing Commander--1993--SNES
Wing Commander: The Secret Missions--1993--SNES
While these may franchises may not be as famous as Sonic or Street Fighter, there are still some heavy-hitters there. Personally, I can't wait to get back into Road Rash, while many should get excited about Wing Commander. But, compared to Sega's 30 game offering, will EA's less than blockbuster lineup be able to compete?

Street Fighter is exciting, but Sonic and Road Rash never did it for me. I think the big news here is being able to play Syndicate without having to use MoSlo...

Thats actually a fairly decent compilation of EA crap.

Mutant League Football is all we're going to get... and sadly, I'm perfectly fine with that.

WOOT! Ultima IX (well, I'd prefer II thru VI, but whatever)! WING COMMANDER will be great.

My skills at Mutant League Hockey are that of a highly intelligent and futuristic cyborg. No one can beat me at Mutant League Hockey. It's impossible.

SYYYYYYNNNNDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICAAATEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
But, oh why, not Syndicate Wars? Stupid bihatches!

Ultima 7!!!
If that gets Ultima 7 part 2 then it's worth getting just for that. U7 is almost unplayable on a modern PC these days so here's a chance to play it again!!!

Heh, I worked on the Genesis port of Jungle Strike! Cool. God, I'm old.
Very much into playing Ultima VII (Black Gate) - I never got around to that one after finishing VI. Wing Commander was the game that got me to buy my first PC and abandon my Amiga. Awesome stuff, all around.
Here's hoping for more PC/Console classic compilations! Ultima II & III, anyone? Or maybe some old Amiga/ST stuff like Archipelagos, Virus, Aargh!!, Starglider, Xenon II, Hybris, etc.?

ULtima 7 and Wing Commander! Wooo!
I'm still working on my Ultima collection, and this is now added to the list. An "ultima Collection" disc (much like the PC cdrom Origin released back in the day) would be really cool.
Hey Chris, try using Bochs with Dos 6.2 installed. I run Akalabeth, Ultima 1-6 from Win with Moslo, u9 from Win, U7 with Bochs, and U8 with DosBox.

Where's Hard Hat Mack?

Syndicate!!!!! Damn DAMN, I lost my original CD... It's a good game when you have a mouse.

Don't get your hopes up, the SNES port of Ultima 7 is a horrible shell of an excellant game. Ah well, I still have a Dos PC for this sorta thing.
Now, if they started porting their classic PC games, that would be another story, but I don't think anyone has the source code anymore (or else Exult would be far more accurate than it is)
