         Some of the problems are mentioned in this thread already.  I'm   
   speaking from past experience with compilations (Genesis Collection PS2,   
   Sega Smash Pack DC, Capcom Classics Collection any).  While the original   
   games were tested for bugs, these compilations are plainly just slapped   
   together with little to no regard for accuracy.  The fact is, even PC   
   emulation isn't perfect yet, though it has gotten reasonably close for   
   most games.  In short, a compilation disc cannot replace the original   
   games on the original consoles with any degree of accuracy.  The   
   experience is too different in timing and presentation due to the lack   
   of quality control.   
         On the other hand, most folks don't seem to be willing to keep   
   twelve to twenty game consoles hooked up to their entertainment cabinet,   
   so a compilation disk seems like a reasonable trade off.  I'm just   
   saying it *is* a trade off.
