I bought the PS versions of Wipeout and Destruction Derby as downloads for the PS3. They looked like gooseberry fool (although a bit better on the PSP).

20 games that look like gooseberry fool on an HDTV for £90.

Yes?

£90 a bit steep as the games revealed so far haven't got me desperately wanting one.
But give me some MGS, Ape Escape, Resi, Crash Racing and then I'll be interested.

Dino Crisis is a bit of a wild card, but I could see Capcom going with that one to get people re-interested in the series if they wanted to bring it back down the road.

Still missing that 18 rated title though, and there weren't exactly many of them. GTA stands out the most.

Silent Hill may have even been an exempt release, for some reason.

Was Die Hard Trilogy an 18? I played that recently and it doesn't really hold up anymore, so I hope it isn't that.

Just checked the box and no BBFC rating either. The 1st game is awful, 2nd game is brilliant fun but is best played with a gun, and the 3rd game is good but would just be a brief novelty today.

Only two titles in my entire collection rated 18 are GTA 1 and 2, and a couple with a Parental Advisory Sticker on (ECW Hardcore Revolution and South Park Chef's Diabolically Shitty Luv Shack).

I'll probably grab this and start displaying all my miniature consoles under the TV - SNES, NES, PS1. It'll be like a tiny retro utopia. :lol:

Grand Theft Auto is indeed rated 18

Older titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill (originally 15) may have received 18 ratings in recent PEGI reviews.

That's honestly the main reason I've pre-ordered. Sure I'll play the games and enjoy them for a time, but after that it's purely to look good sat under the tv.

The no power adapter included part, I wonder if it'll be like the Nintendo classics and run on USB power. That would be ideal as I could power it from the TV using a USB cable rather than wasting a mains socket.

If they've got GTA in there they could at least bundle it with the London expansion.

GTA would hold up today because of its simplicity but at one point, maybe still is, it was free on PC. That would feel like a cheap addition to me, but aside from 2 I can't see what else it could be.

Agree on playability, while they want to focus on games that were most popular and highly reviewed, they also want to include games that play well today.

Tekken/Tekken 2 and Ridge Racer are incredibly clunky now, where as Tekken 3 and Ridge Racer Type 4 feel great to play even today.

What about Doom? Surely that was an 18?

Isn't GTA London in a licensing hell because it had some real 60s cars in it or something?
I don't think it ever got a PC re-release either because of that did it?

Overpriced and so many of the games have aged terribly. It's a hard pass from me.

Rapidly-greying is Mediocre to Average at games :fp:
