Have they said if Conker is the N64 or Xbox version?

I hope the retroactively fix issues with controls etc....in the games and give the visuals a nice updating

It was the N64 version in the trailer.

So this is what Rare has been working on all this time

Yeah, this. Tried to play Jet Force Gemini the other week and it was awful Hoping they jazz up the controls Perfect Dark HD style

It desperately needs twin-stick controls.

Looking at the list of games in this collection, I have played hardly any of them.

Really looking forward to trying them all out though!

Amazon have it for £18.85 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-50500 ... B00ZFNLHK4

That was the only place I looked so maybe cheaper elsewhere.

Good price but I'm definitely going digital for this one.

Although in fairness these are probably the best of the crop, I'd have like to see at least one of the C64 exclusives such as Staff Of Karnath.

I'm also a bit sad to see that Cookie, Pssst! and Tranz Am didn't make the cut. For I am old you see.

Still, pretty awesome compilation all the same.

£20 for that lot, boxed? Absolute steal, that.

That, and Sea of Thieves.

Ultimate were *terrible* on the C64, Octo! I'm a huge C64 fan and I guess that Staff was their best effort, but I can't imagine playing stuff like Imhotep.

Sudden thought: I wonder how the old Ultimate games are allowed to be released on this compilation? I may have lost track, but I'm sure that US Gold bought the Ultimate name years ago... maybe it was just the name rather than IP ownership? Perhaps the Ultimate games will be re-badged as Rare on this compilation?

I am still envious that this is an Xbox One exclusive.

The controls was fine with JFG on N64.

It's the strawberry floating last boss. Absolutely hard as nails and the terrible autosave placing, where you dies and you get throw back miles away from the final boss and have to go through enemies without depleting your health much as possible.

Maybe... just maybe... I'll finally finish this strawberry floater.

Have they said how this will work if you already own rare games from the 360 so banjo's or Perfect Dark? Will you have duplicates?

The whole collection is classed as one 'game', so you'll have that plus the original titles. Think owning both The Orange Box and Portal.

Has this jumped up in price? Amazon and Shopto are now showing £30?

Any word on whether these games will be given any sprucing up (like the XBLA releases of Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark) or whether they'll be pretty much direct ports?

I know the C64 games were a bit pants, but just one for old times' sake would have pleased my inner geek.

I wonder if the US Gold deal is why Nightshade was omitted? The authorship of the later games is not clear. I'm pretty sure Solar Jetman was developed by Software Creations.
