When it comes to MSX collections, Saturn fans get the better deal. Konami packs all three Playstation Antiques volumes into one compact disc for Sega's console. All 30 MSX classics are included at one low price. Some of our favorites include:

Gradius The original shooting classic from Konami that introduced the floating blobs that follow your ship around and add to your firepower. Colorful levels await the player and exotic bosses block the end of each level.
Konami Ping Pong Fun table game where you control a disembodied hand that slaps at a ping pong ball against another disembodied hand. Ball physics remain true to life without any of the weird angles that result from poor programming.
Shao-Lin's Road Kick and jump your way through a three-level temple as legions of goons assail you from all sides. Special power-ups may be picked up to enhance your defense and attack skills. One power-up spins in a circle around you which knocks out anyone hapless enough to get close enough to you.
Time Pilot One of our arcade favorites from 1982. Player guides a jet that rotates and shoots at squadrons of enemy airships. As the player progresses through time, enemies become more sophisticated, ultimately using flying saucers to attack the player. Save the occasional parachuting flyboy for bonus points.
Twinbee Plain but recognizable MSX version of the arcade shooter classic. Details in the graphics are sparse but the bells are recognizable and the mini-bee ship still comes with gloved hands. All of the usual Twinbee power-ups remain such as the shadow Twinbees and the enlarge ship power-up.
NCS Rating: 7 Strength: Bountiful supply of games, some very fun
Weaknesses: A couple of "classics" don't fit the designation
