Bunch of shooters and Haunted Castle. Don't know why that one wasn't on the Castlevania collection.

Great shooters though and arcade versions...

I believe the Contra and Castlevania collections are on sale for the same price. Do you want to add those to this post as well?

Ah, memories. Wish Parodius were in there as well, but not bad for $5.

Yea I hear ya, that has happened to me one too many times... I try to only purchase collections when they go on a super discount. I think I purchased these both at $4.99 and even the megaman collections when they were at an all time low. Man nostalgia is really adds up and is eventually expensive!!

For some reason I never thought these would get discount much. Never dream it'll ever be 75% off.
