This game is amazing. If you have any interest in arcade style racing games you should check it out.

Great game, bring the score back up.

The Pals yearn for the mines.

Outstanding game. The game has just the right amount of challenge early on that allows you to feel like you are accomplishing something. The graphics and music are outstanding and the gameplay creates an addicting loop that I can lose hours to without even realizing it.

My only complain is that there isn't more of it to enjoy (or at least an endless or new game+ mode)

The game itself is actually quite fun. That being said, you will be paying 2.99 for a game that has been abandoned. If 2.99 for a few hours of a strategy RPG sounds like a good deal to you, then feel free to buy it. However, if you want a complete experience, I would stay away. That being said, I've played about 7 hours in this game (and would have put in much more if it was ever finished) so I don't regret buying it. Just know what you're getting into.

There can be no hope in this hell.. no hope at all.

Operation Genesis 2: Electric Boogaloo

Good game, similar to Fortnite, but unique enough to stand on it's own in the genre. Forging is a simple mechanic, but enjoyable, and the risk/reward of giving your location away for a minute makes it fun.

My only major complaints are the lack of any sort of tutorial or menu to see what abilities/weapons do. Of course this is alpha, but hopefully that gets fixed soon.

All in all though, worth playing for sure, time will tell to see how Hi-Rez supports it in the future.

For something that was meant to be a celebration of the 30th anniversary, this game comes across as a lazy cash grab. Super Turbo's arcade mode is so overwhelmingly difficult, it's practically unplayable (I checked the other games, I don't just suck, it's just this version of super turbo has the difficulty maxed out. It was fixed in future versions of the game, but for some reason they went with the unchanged version.)

Couldn't find a single match online, no lobbys, ranked matches, etc. I'm sure eventually this will get fixed, but at launch I would image there's at least one other person trying to playing this game.

The games in this collection are fun, yes, (Well, minus Street Fighter 1, which is garbage, and Super Turbo's Arcade Mode) but for $40, I expect more than a few slapped together ports. If you're a die hard fan of one of these games, then it might be worth it to play it on steam, but as far as value goes, this package just doesn't have it. That is, unless you honestly value being able to (eventually) play Third Strike on steam at $40. In which case, all the negative reviews in the world won't dissuade you.

If you're a casual fan or just looking to get into fighting games, give this a skip. There are better titles far more deserving of your money.
