I definitely would've put Tecmo Super Bowl on it, instead of Tecmo Bowl. But then there's NFL Player's Association licensing probs right there. RBI Baseball belongs on it. To this day it's the 'funnest' baseball vid I've played. Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf could have made a Top 60 cut I'd think; I'm not surprised it's not on this one, but it would be better than a lot of the games that are. (Again, they would proably have to cut a check to Lee Trevino; as someone else pointed out there are "commercial viability" questions all over).
As at least one other has said the arcade remakes (Pacman, Galaga, Donkey Kong, etc.) were disappointing in the 80s. Few are going to be able to get into them today.
They did well putting Kid Icarus on there. I was a little surprised seeing it included. Good insight on someone's part. A fair amount of players are going to spend most of their time on it and/or Metroid I'd think.
Someone said RC Pro-Am. Yep. Definitely. My brother-in-law bought one of those Retron systems a couple of years ago. I got him a stack of resold carts at a game store and RC Pro-Am was the first one I grabbed.
To those of us familiar with emulation this isn't anything earth shaking obviously. I'm more excited about the controller's being released, though I'm sure it's going to be less hardy and probably noticeably lighter than the original.
One of my old buds, a dude at whose house we used to drink, smoke, and tear it up on NES bitd, posted about this release on facebook the other night. To a guy like him whose not especially www-savvy this is a big deal. I'm glad guys like him will get a taste of this. It will be good for them.
Keeping the coin-op vids alive and wishing I loved stamps or coins or baseball cards, instead.
