Classic FunDec 31, 2009
By Samuel Clemens
"The Awesomesauce"
The other reviewer brought up the point that $20 is a little expensive for a "classics pack". Most of the time, I would say that is a valid argument when deciding to purchase a game, but in this case, I beg to differ. Consider this:
A)Contra is awesome. B)Frogger, while not an amazing title, is still pretty fun. C)This package includes Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
For me SotN is the big draw here. This classic game was the epitomy of sidescrolling action, and had incredible graphics and controls. Now, Symphony of the Night was released on the original PS more than ten years ago, but it's fun and value have not diminished in the slightest. In fact, the value of SotN has skyrocketed (one word?), with the original game selling for about $130. Besides getting the game itself, the graphics have been upgraded to 720p HD (you can choose to play with the classic graphics or the upgraded ones)! An incredible deal when you consider the price of the orignal game. And you get two other classic games!

Konami Classic Volume 1Apr 29, 2010
By DJ Deathwish Yes, there are only three games on the disc and it does retail for $20, which is the same amount you would pay to download them on Xbox Live Arcade, so I don't care about the price (not to mention you could buy it used and it would actually be cheaper than downloading them). All the games are playable off the disc, you do not have to download them so for those of you trying to conserve hard drive space, this is ideal. It's also not like the PopCap compilations as you can play these games right off the disc instead of having to redirect to the arcade to play, small time saver, but I like it. Symphony of the Night was the big draw for me because I wanted to replace my PS copy but the other two games are also enjoyable. And yes, they do have achievements, 200 points each. If you are only interested in one or two of the games, you may as well just download them off the marketplace, but if you don't have any of them and want them all, pick up the disc and spare your hard drive a few extra megabytes of space.

Great pickup for the Castlevania and Contra fansApr 05, 2011
By Scottypiper I purchased this for Castlevania, symphony of the night. Contra was a nice addition and I haven't played frogger, so I can't comment on that.
Castlevania is excellent. It's the same as the original game and worth picking up for the Castlevania fan. Contra was a fun game, but one play through should be enough.
Classic!Jun 27, 2011
By Wendy M. Falzone This game combination is awesome! You have castlevania, frogger, and that other game title. (Don't remmeber it.) Some poeple are complaining that it isn't the ORIGINAL Frogger, but I assure you it is. This is a deal! three games for 10$! Buy it! is it worth it!

Castlevania muy bueno, los demás...May 21, 2010
By Arnulfo Jesus Avila Leon Saludos desde México. Obviamente, el motivo de comprar este videojuego fue conseguir el Castlevania Symphony of The Night. ¿Quien que lo haya jugado antes no deja de recordarlo?. Y conseguirlo de esta forma es muy barato ya que el videojuego por si solo cuesta en original de 800 a 1300 pesos, aunque sea de segunda mano. Respecto al castlevania es practicamente igual al original, excepto (si, excepto)... que al usar los ticket mails (de comida) al menos con el duplicador se queda trabada la màquina (si, tendràs que apagarla). Y eso quizà disminuya la posibilidad de lograr el 200.06 % del castillo. Por otra parte, si se pueden lograr los otros trucos: 250 joyas, abrir las habitaciones de los mermans (merman cave), etc. Respecto al contra, lo que me interesaba era la mùsica, y ¡oh decepciòn!: se reproduce con un volumen muy bajo. Y respecto al frog, es más bien del tipo de juegos dignos de la consola de atari: de ese nivel. En fin. De cualquier forma me conformo con tener el Castlevania SOTN. Otras formas de conseguir este juego, por si les interesa, es en amazon por 10 dolares teniendo conexiòn a xbox live, con la PS3 conectada a internet y configurada una cuenta (también corre excelente el juego, aunque si se quema el disco duro supongo que habrás de comprarlo otra vez) o conseguir su original (aunque casi ningún vendedor envia fuera de los U.S.A.). ¡Suerte a todos!.
