The PlayStation version is only compatible with the original PlayStation, as it has compatibility issues with the PlayStation 2.[citation needed] The model of the PlayStation 2 doesn't matter; the issue pertains to all models of the system.
The Windows version includes Gauntlet, Marble Madness, Paperboy, RoadBlasters, 720°, and Vindicators[3]

The compilation was well received, with the Official UK PlayStation Magazine saying that it was "the best retro collection to date", but that most of the games failed to hold their own in the 1990s. They noted that Marble Madness played better with a joypad than with the original trackball, and that Paperboy was the highlight.
