Question Retro Compilations?

I was looking for a compilation of older games to play on DS.

I know there's Atari Retro Classics, but that's all I can find.

Anyone know of any others?

On GBA

Konami Arcade Classics
Namco Museum
Namco Museum 20th Anniversary
Pac Man Collection


Unfortunately, KAC and the Namco Museums don't keep scores, which is kinda the point of these old games.



Now my Namco rant...

Namco Museum has Pac Man, Ms Pac Man, Pole Position, Dig Dug, Galaxian and Galaga.

Namco 20th Anniversary has Pac Man, Ms Pac Man, Dig Dug, Galaga and Rally X.

So in 3 years of extra development time from the first game to the second game, they removed 2 games and replaced them with 1 and added a practically unplayable option of rotating the screen. Still no battery save on the scores.... Bravo Namco.... another reason to emulate.

Compilations: DS: The only one not already mentioned here seems to be 'Game & Watch Collection,' which is Japan only. And, uh, it might not be retro, but it's a compilation, by Nintendo, with one of their old school mascots in the title, so there's a decent chance.

Compilations: GBA: I'm not familiar with all the titles, but from the list, these seem to be the (purely) 'retro' compilations:
--Activision Anthology
--Atari Anniversary Advance
--Centipede / Breakout / Warlords
--Game & Watch Gallery 4
--Gauntlet / Rampart
--Hudson Collection Vol. 1: Bomberman Collection
--Hudson Collection Vol. 2: Lode Runner Collection
--Hudson Collection Vol. 3: Action Collection
--Hudson Collection Vol. 4: Nazotoki Collection
--Hudson Collection Vol. 5: Shooting Collection
--Hudson Collection Vol. 6: Bouken Jima Collection
--Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced
--Marble Madness / Klax
--Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits
--Millipede / Super Breakout / Lunar Lander
--Namco Arcade 50th Anniversary
--Namco Museum
--Paperboy / Rampage
--Pong / Asteroids / Yar's Revenge
--Sega Arcade Gallery
--Sega Smash Pack
--Spy Hunter / Super Sprint
--Ultimate Arcade Games

This isn't a compilation game, but a good game you might like that's an UPGRADE to an old game is Space Invaders Extreme. But I think its Japan and Europe only.

Still, very good game. And the Japanese one I know comes with a Joystick peripheral you plug into the GBA Port. Although you don't need it to play, but I heard it really adds to the game.

Space Invaders Extreme is due out here on the 10th of this month. Arkanoid DS is also due out sometime this month, IIRC.

Is the paddle peripheral not coming to the States? :[

For all I know, the game isn't.

The game apparently is (thanks to Square Enix, of all publishers!), but the paddle sadly isn't.
