While shopping at a video game store in the mid-1990s with my uncle and cousins, we saw that this compilation had been released. My uncle only had access to games 4, 5, and 6, and the diskette version of each, so, seeing so much more content in the package, he bought it. Over the next few weeks, we installed and played games 1, 2, and 3, the demo of 7, the additional games, and watched the various interviews.
Review

Good
- Unlike most compilations, this one included a fair amount of new content as well as some hard to find titles. The interviews with Roberta Williams are particularly interesting.
- The manual, though not a complete copy of each of the previous games, still includes all the story content from each, which is nice to have.
