9Publishers will often bundle several previously released games on one disc and sell it as a compilation, usually several years after their initial releases and on a new console. The games usually are part of the same series or genre, and tend to be a MilestoneCelebration. To further this, these compilations may contain various "bonuses" such as concept art galleries and other behind-the-scenes goodies, and depending on the genre there might even extra features or modes added to one or more of the games.
10
11May count as a {{Revenue Enhancing Device|s}} if you're cynical, though they do allow late-coming fans a chance to experience older games in the series, and they occasionally contain games that may have been subject to NoExportForYou when they were first released. Theoretically, this could lead to an average game series being VindicatedByReruns, but most series that get this treatment are A-List series in the first place. UpdatedRerelease is similar, but it's usually just one game and more polish rather than a package.
12
13Music compilation albums, when properly done, offer a good "starter" opportunity for a new fan to get an overview of a band or a solo performer's best music. A strong suspicion of Revenue Enhancing Device applies, however, especially when the band's fortunes are on the skids and they haven't had original success in quite a while, or else the act is a relatively new one with not nearly enough success behind them to justify a "Best Of..." compilation and their few hits are padded out with {{B Side}}s and other material. and if the artiste has changed record labels during their career, then frustration can ensue when an album titled "''The Very Best Of...''" or "''The Definitive...''" omits the good stuff they did which wasn't for the issuing label.

20[[folder:Action Game]]
21* The ''VideoGame/{{Genocide}}'' series received an updated compilation on the FM Towns that gave both games better graphics, higher quality music and sound, new cut-scenes, and a new ending for completing both games in one sitting on Normal or Hard. It also rebalances the first game's difficulty while giving the player much more control of the Tracer and an independent Weapon Select button.
22* ''Interactive Movie Action - Time Gal and Ninja Hayate'' bundles ''VideoGame/NinjaHayate'' and ''VideoGame/TimeGal'' in one package.
23* ''VideoGame/LegoStarWars: The Complete Saga'' is ''LEGO Star Wars'' and ''LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy'' combined into a single extra-long game, with some tweaks to the gameplay, and new features like more unlockable characters and extra missions to complete.
24[[/folder]]

26[[folder:Action-Adventure]]
27* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''
28** ''Ezio Trilogy'' for Platform/PlayStation3 and Platform/Xbox360 included ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'', ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood Brotherhood]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations Revelations]]'', all chronicling the life of Ezio Auditore.
29** With ''The Ezio Collection'' released in November 2016 on [=PS4=] and Xbox One, containing all 3 Ezio games (minus multiplayer) and all their DLC.
30** ''The Americas Collection'', which consists of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII'', ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' and ''[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIIILiberation Assassin's Creed Liberation HD]]'', also for [=PS3=] and Xbox 360.
31** The stand alone release of ''Revelations'' on [=PS3=] [[EmbeddedPrecursor also included]] ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'' on the disc.
32* ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries'':
33** ''Batman: Return to Arkham'' brings both ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' and ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' to Platform/PlayStation4 and Platform/XboxOne, remade in Unreal Engine 4 (the originals used Unreal 3). The two were later compiled alongside ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'' as ''Batman: Arkham Collection'', for the same platforms.
34** In 2023, ''Asylum'', ''City'' and ''Knight'' were rereleased for the Platform/NintendoSwitch as the ''Batman: Arkham Trilogy''. ''Asylum'' and ''City'' both use the original graphics on Unreal Engine 3 rather than the ''Return to Arkham'' versions.
35* ''VideoGame/BlasterMaster Zero Trilogy'' for Platform/NintendoSwitch and Platform/PlayStation4 not only compiles [[VideoGame/BlasterMasterZero all]] [[VideoGame/BlasterMasterZeroII three]] [[VideoGame/BlasterMasterZeroIII games]], but it also adds voice acting to them as well. Notably, it was released on the same day the third game itself was released digitally.
36* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''
37** ''Castlevania Double Pack'' is a 2-in-1 Platform/GameBoyAdvance cartridge compiling ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDissonance Harmony of Dissonance]]'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow''. However, it doesn't include ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaCircleOfTheMoon'', or provide a [[OldSaveBonus second-slot bonus]] with ''Dawn of Sorrow'' as the original ''Aria of Sorrow'' cart did since ''Dawn of Sorrow'' only recognizes the stand-alone release.
38** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheDraculaXChronicles'', in addition to being a [[VideoGameRemake remake]] of ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood Rondo of Blood]]'', also has an unlockable remastered version of ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Symphony of the Night]]'', which features a new English translation and Maria as an additional playable character. This release is also notable for finally bringing ''Rondo of Blood'' out of Japan. These versions were later re-released as a bundle on the Platform/PlayStation4 as ''Castlevania Requiem''.
39** For a while, Konami had released a PC disc containing the three NES games, as well as both ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' and ''Super C''.
40** In 2019, Konami released the ''Castlevania Anniversary Collection'', which bundled the [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaI three]] [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest NES]] [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse games]], ''VideoGame/SuperCastlevaniaIV'', ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaBloodlines'', the first two [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaTheAdventure Game Boy]] [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIBelmontsRevenge games]], and the first official North American release of the NES ''VideoGame/KidDracula'', as well as translated versions of the Japanese games for most of them.
41** This was followed in 2021 by the ''Castlevania Advance Collection'', which included [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaCircleOfTheMoon Circle of the Moon]], [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyofDissonance Harmony of Dissonance]], ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'', as well as the non-Advance game ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDraculaX''.
42* ''The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection'' features HD versions of ''VideoGame/{{Ico}}'' and ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', along with some behind-the-scenes videos and two exclusive dynamic themes for the [=PS3=].
43* ''Franchise/JurassicPark: Classic Games Collection'' by Creator/LimitedRunGames collects seven titles in the franchise: the SNES, NES, and Game Boy versions of the Creator/OceanSoftware title, [[VideoGame/JurassicParkSegaGenesis the Sega Genesis version]], the SNES and Game Boy versions of ''VideoGame/JurassicPark2TheChaosContinues'', and ''VideoGame/JurassicParkRampageEdition''.
44* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda: Collector's Edition'' for [[Platform/NintendoGameCube GameCube]] featured slightly updated ports of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]],'' the original ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'', and ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'', plus a trial version of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]].'' It was packaged with certain [=GameCube=] console bundles for a limited time, and the only other ways to get it were to register at least two Nintendo-published games and a [=GameCube=] console on Nintendo's website or subscribe to ''Nintendo Power''. With this disc and the Game Boy Player, every ''Zelda'' game prior to ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass Phantom Hourglass]]'' (other than the CD-i games, which are officially CanonDiscontinuity) can be played on one platform (even ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'', which wasn't on the disc due to its GBA remake).

46
47[[folder:Adventure Game]]
48* ''VideoGame/AnotherCode Recollection'' is a 2024 compilation remake of the ''Another Code'' duology for the Platform/NintendoSwitch. The game's release served as the first time that the second game in the collection [[RemadeForTheExport saw a release outside of Japan and Europe]]. Interestingly, both games ([[AdaptationDeviation especially the latter]]) saw the original writer come back to re-write large chunks of the story in addition to the gameplay overhaul that both titles received.
49* ''VideoGame/DejaVu1985 I & II: The Casebooks of Ace Harding'' was released for the Platform/GameBoyColor, apparently based in part on the never-released Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem version of the second game.
50* ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'', the first Creator/LucasArts AdventureGame to lose money but which still achieved cult status, was eventually repackaged with three other cult adventure games of theirs: ''VideoGame/FullThrottle'', ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxHitTheRoad'' and ''VideoGame/{{The Dig|1995}}''.
51* Creator/{{Sierra}} released compilations for many of their popular {{adventure game}}s such as ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'', ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'', and ''VideoGame/QuestForGlory''. Notable in that the game launcher automatically launches the respective games in UsefulNotes/DOSbox without requiring the command to do so. Oh, and the games' manuals were stored in a PDF file on the disk, removing any players' worry of CopyProtection measures.
52* ''VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries'': The 2020 ''Henry Stickmin Collection'' compiled remastered versions of every single game in the series minus ''Crossing the Pit''[[note]]although the options from ''Pit'' did make it into a scene in the new game[[/note]], plus a new game (actually several different branching story paths leading on from various endings in ''Airship'' and ''Complex'') called ''Completing the Mission''.
53* ''VideoGame/TouchDetective: The Complete Case Files'' which features all three of the mainline games and two Funghi spin-offs with various content from the mobile version.
54* The first two ''VideoGame/TwilightSyndrome'' games were originally planned as a single release, but ended up being DividedForPublication due to time constraints. Two years later, ''Twilight Syndrome Special'' was released, bundling both of the duology's discs in a single package.
55[[/folder]]
56
57[[folder:Art Game]]
58* ''VideoGame/Journey2012'': The ''Journey Collector's Edition'', released August 28, 2012, includes ''Journey'', ''VideoGame/{{Flow}}'', and ''VideoGame/{{Flower}}'', as well as three unreleased mini-games, videos, commentaries, and other extras.
59[[/folder]]
60
61[[folder:Beat 'Em Up]]
62* The ''Creator/{{Capcom}} Beat 'Em Up Bundle'', 2018 compilation of seven old-school, classic BeatEmUp arcade games released by said company back in the late 80s and early 90s, including the original ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'', ''VideoGame/WarriorsOfFate'', ''VideoGame/ArmoredWarriors'', ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheRound'', ''VIdeoGame/TheKingOfDragons'' and ''VideoGame/BattleCircuit''.
63[[/folder]]
64
65[[folder:Eastern RPG]]
66* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'' and ''VideoGame/DragonQuestII'' were compiled for the Super Famicom (Japanese SNES), and later again for the Platform/GameBoyColor. The GBC version got an American release.
67* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' has had several compilations depending on whether you're in North America, Europe or Japan. In North America, there's ''Final Fantasy Anthology'' (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''), ''Final Fantasy Origins'' (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII''), and ''Final Fantasy Chronicles'' (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' and ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', which, strictly speaking, is ''not'' a ''Final Fantasy'' game), all for the Platform/PlayStation. Of these, Europe received ''Final Fantasy Origins'' and an edition of ''Final Fantasy Anthology'' which contained ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' instead of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', whose [=PlayStation=] version was released individually in Europe. There was also a Japan-only two-in-one Famicom cartridge containing ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'' and the ''Final Fantasy Collection'' (IV, V and VI) for PS. Most of the games were updated slightly, mainly with {{Pre Rendered Cutscene}}s and a bestiary and/or art gallery. There's also a Platform/GameBoyAdvance compilation of the first two games called ''Dawn of Souls'', and ''Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection'', a PSP remake of ''IV'' compiled with ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears The After Years]]'' and an {{Interquel}} bridging story, about what happened during the TimeSkip. There are also two "Double Pack" compilations for PC, which compile ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII III]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV IV]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII VII]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII VIII]]'' respectively. The HD remasters of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' and ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 X-2]]'' are available in a compilation for most platforms, with the exception being the Platform/PlayStationVita version, due to limited cart space.
68* Inversion: the first three ''VideoGame/MadouMonogatari'' games were released first in big bundles of disks for the Platform/MSX2 and Platform/PC98, and then individually for the Platform/GameGear. The next trilogy of games (''A-R-S'') made a similar package debut on the PC-98, though only the first received an individual release.
69* ''VideoGame/MegamiTensei I'' and ''VideoGame/MegamiTenseiII'' were compiled for the Platform/SuperFamicom as ''Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei'' ("Megami Tensei: The Old Testament").
70* ''[[VideoGame/{{Mother}} EarthBound Series]]'': The [[VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings first]] [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 two]] games were compiled into a single GBA cartridge and rereleased under the name ''MOTHER 1+2''. As is expected for this series, the compilation was [[NoExportForYou only released in Japan]].
71* ''Sega Ages 2500: VideoGame/PhantasyStar Collection'' for the Platform/PlayStation2, [[NoExportForYou but not in America]], which brings together the Master System original and Genesis sequels. The Platform/SegaSaturn received a ''Phantasy Star Collection'' with the same four games, and ''another'' was released for the Platform/GameBoyAdvance that omitted ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIV'' due to cartridge space, but was released in America.
72* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' has the ''HD 1.5 Remix'' which contains the [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI first game]], the UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'', and HD cutscenes (but no gameplay) of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2''. The subsequent ''HD 2.5 Remix'' contains ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', and HD cutscenes (again without gameplay) of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsCoded''. These were then followed up by ''[[WordSaladTitle HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue]]'', which includes a near-[[VideoGameRemake remake]] of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX Kingdom Hearts χ: Back Cover]]'' (a cinematic movie telling the story of the browser/mobile game from the perspective of the foretellers) and ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts02BirthBySleepAFragmentaryPassage'' (an exclusive playable mini-episode that serves as both a gameplay demo and lead-in to ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''), then the compilation re-release of compilation re-release released as ''Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 HD Remix'', and finally, ''Kingdom Hearts - The Story So Far -'', which includes everything from ''1.5+2.5'' and ''2.8'', making it a compilation re-release of a compilation re-release of a compilation re-release, which is followed by March 2020's ''All-in-One Package'' which further includes ''Kingdom Hearts III'' (but not its Re:MIND DLC)... which ''itself'' got one-upped in 2022 with the ''Integrum Masterpiece'', containing '''''[[NotHyperbole THE ENTIRE DARK SEEKER SAGA]]''''', including the Re:MIND DLC for ''III''.
73* ''VideoGame/ArcTheLad Collection'', published abroad by Working Designs, compiled the first three ''Arc'' games as the very first time they ever left Japan. They're now available separately on the Platform/PlaystationNetwork.
74* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
75** ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Chronicles'' is a compilation of the first and [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld second]] games for the Platform/PlayStation3, with HD remastered graphics, dual audio and Trophy support as well as new Tales series cameo costumes for the first game and the extras from the original PAL Wii release of the second game. Notably, the version of the first ''Symphonia'' game featured here is in fact a localization of the once [[NoExportforYou Japan-only]] [=PS2=] UpdatedRerelease, complete with all of its extras and none of its loading. Both games are also available individually as digital downloads off of PSN.
76** To a lesser extent, the [=PlayStation=] Store also offers a digital combo download of both ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces f'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia''.
77* ''VideoGame/{{MedaBots}} Classics'' for the Platform/Nintendo3DS was released in [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo both a beetle and kuwagata edition]] and contains the 5 Medarot games released on the Platform/GameBoyColor. It would recevive an port on the Platform/NintendoSwitch. ''Medarots Classics Plus'' includes all five Game Boy games while adding three Platform/GameBoyAdvance games: ''Medarot Navi'', ''Medarot G'' and ''Medarot 2 Core''.
78* The first three games in the ''VideoGame/WorldOfMana'' series have a compilation on the Platform/NintendoSwitch, called ''Collection of Mana''. The specific games on the collection are ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyAdventure'', ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'', and ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'', the last of which was Japan-only from its Super Famicom release in 1995 until the compilation's international release in 2019. The international release features English, Spanish, German, and French as the available languages.
79* Similar to the ''Mana'' series, a compilation of the ''VideoGame/{{SaGa|RPG}}'' series titled ''Collection of [=SaGa=]: Franchise/FinalFantasy Legend'' was released on Platform/NintendoSwitch in 2020 and on Steam in 2021. Titles included are ''VideoGame/TheFinalFantasyLegend'', ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyLegendII'', and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyLegendIII''.
80* The fourth ''VideoGame/MegaManXMavericks'' game came as this, containing remakes of the previous three games as well as the final game in the series.
81* ''VideoGame/{{YS}}'': The DS remakes of ''VideoGame/YsIAncientYsVanishedOmen'' and ''VideoGame/YsIIAncientYsVanishedTheFinalChapter'' games were combined into one package for the North American release, despite being released separately in Japan, and the PSP remakes of the same games are released in one package in all regions. The Windows versions they were based on had been bundled together in Japan as ''Ys Complete''.
82* Creator/NipponIchi released ''Prinny Presents NIS Classics'', a series of two-pack compilations for the Nintendo Switch, starting from 2021 (The games were also released individually on the PC). ''Volume 1'' includes ''VideoGame/PhantomBrave'' and ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters''. ''Volume 2'' includes ''VideoGame/ZettaiHeroProject'' and ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'', the latter being notable in that it's the first time the PSP version is released to the west. ''Volume 3'' includes ''VideoGame/RhapsodyAMusicalAdventure'' and ''VideoGame/LaPucelle'', also the latter being the first time the PSP version is localized.
83* ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' had [[VideoGame/{{Suikoden I}} its first]] [[VideoGame/{{Suikoden II}} two games]] compiled with several bonus features twice. The first one was for PSP, although [[NoExportForYou that one never left Japan]] and the bonus features instead ended up adding several new glitches/problems (albeit not too [[GameBreakingBug game-breaking]]). The second one, ''Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars'', is for [=PS4=], Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam, this time being actually brought outside Japan and contained several quality of life improvements (such as slightly redone dialogue lines so they don't [[BlindIdiotTranslation look too off]]).
84* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel III'' and ''IV'' received a Platform/PlayStation5 release as a two-pack in early 2024. Along with it being an enhanced version of both games, it will also include all previous DLC cosmetics in them.
85[[/folder]]
86
87[[folder:Fighting Game]]
88* ''Franchise/MortalKombat Kollection'' for the Platform/PlayStation2, which included ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception'', ''VideoGame/MortalKombatShaolinMonks'', and ''VideoGame/MortalKombatArmageddon''. Shaolin Monks also has the unlockable ''VideoGame/MortalKombatII''. Strangely, ''Deadly Alliance'' was not included.
89* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
90** ''Street Fighter Collection'' for the [=PlayStation=] and Saturn, a two disc compilation containing ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' and ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' on one disc and ''Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold'' on the second. It was followed by ''Street Fighter Collection 2'', which includes the original ''Street Fighter II: The World Warrior'', ''Street Fighter II′ (Dash): Champion Edition'', and ''Street Fighter II′ Turbo: Hyper Fighting''.
91** ''Street Fighter'' also had the ''Street Fighter Anniversary Collection'' for the [=PS2=] and Xbox, which was a two-in-one compilation of ''Hyper Street Fighter II'' (a pseudo-compilation of the ''Street Fighter II'' series) and ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII: 3rd Strike'', both of which were originally given individual releases for the [=PS2=] in Japan and Europe.
92** Later, there was ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Anthology'', which included most of the ''Alpha'' games (including ''Alpha 2 Gold'' and ''Alpha 3 Upper'') as well as ''VideoGame/SuperGemFighter Mini Mix''. The Japanese version, ''Street Fighter Zero: Fighter's Generation'', has all the Japanese versions included, along with the english version of ''Alpha 2'' unlockable, as well as making the Cammy-included version of ''Zero 2 Alpha'' an unlockable titled ''Zero 2 Alpha Dash''. Finally, a ''Hyper Street Fighter Alpha'' is included as a bonus unlockable that allows players to pit any Alpha version of the case against one another alongside a few other powerup modes.
93** For the series' 30th anniversary, Capcom released the ''Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection'', which includes ''VideoGame/StreetFighterI'', all five versions of ''Street Fighter II'' (''Hyper'' not included), the ''Alpha'' trilogy (though missing ''Alpha 2 Gold'' and ''Alpha 3 Upper'', strangely) and the three versions of ''III'' for a total of 12 games. The Japanese version, ''30th Anniversary Collection International'', includes both the English and Japanese versions of each game for a (technical) grand total of 24 games.
94** The series’ 35th anniversary saw the ''Capcom Fighting Collection'' release, which contained other ''Street Fighter'' games as well as games from Capcom’s other fighting game franchises. It contained ''Hyper Street Fighter II'' as well as ''Super Puzzle Figher II Turbo'' from the ''Street Fighter'' series, the original arcade ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' games, ''VideoGame/{{Cyberbots}}'', ''VideoGame/RedEarth'', and ''VideoGame/SuperGemFighter'', with many games containing both their English and Japanese versions.

Another compilation was released titled ''Darkstalkers Ressurection'' for Platform/Xbox360 and Platform/PlayStation3, although it only includes ''Night Warriors'' and ''Vampire Savior''.
96** Capcom's [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom crossover games with Marvel]] got a similar re-release with 2012's ''Marvel vs. Capcom Origins'', which packaged together ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroes'' and ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfTheSuperheroes'' for download on Xbox Live Arcade and the [=PlayStation=] Store.
97* ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'':
98** ''Anthology'' for the [=PlayStation=] 2, [=PlayStation=] Portable, and Wii compiles ''Samurai Shodown I''-''VI'' on a single disc, however it only features ''Samurai Shodown V'' and not its updated re-release ''V Special''. For Western players, this compilation was the only overseas release of ''VI'' as it was previously released only in Japan up until this compilation, and then years later, through [=PlayStation=] Network for [=PlayStation=] 4. The version of ''Samurai Shodown VI'' included in this collection is based on the previously Japan-only [=PlayStation=] 2 port, which added much more playable characters and three new spirit systems to use, but everything is unlocked right from the start.
99** A second collection later released in the late [=2010s=], titled ''Samurai Shodown: Platform/NeoGeo Collection''. This collection omits ''Samurai Shodown VI'', but not only includes all of the Neo Geo originals, but the up-til-then unreleased ''Samurai Shodown V: Perfect'', an update of ''V Special'' that adds a story alongside other tweaks.
100** SNK released a number of [=NeoGeo=] fighting game compilations for the [=PS2=] in Japan. They include ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Orochi Hen'' (''[='95=]''-''[='97=]''), ''NESTS Hen'' (''[='99=]''-''2001'', featuring both original NG and later console ports), ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes Gorgeous'' (''WH''-''Perfect'', also received a US release), ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Anthology'' (''[=AoF=]''-''[=AoF3=]'', received US release), ''VideoGame/FatalFury: Battle Archives'' Volumes 1 and 2 (Vol. 1 includes ''FF''-''[=FF3=]'' and Vol. 2 the ''Real Bout'' trilogy, both volumes receiving US releases), ''VideoGame/TheLastBlade 1 & 2'', and ''[[VideoGame/FuunSeries Fu'un]] Super Combo'' (''Savage Reign'' and ''Kizuna Encounter'', released in the US). The first five ''King of Fighters'' installments were also bundled in a unique compilation in the US in place of the ''Orochi Hen'' collection called "''The King of Fighters: The Orochi Saga''" for the Wii, [=PlayStation 2=], and PSP that includes distinct features from their other compilations. The NESTS installments have never seen a western compilation release (although ''2000'' and ''2001'' were bundled together for [=PS2=] sometime earlier, as were ''2002'' and ''2003''). As for {{Dream Match Game}}s ''The King of Fighters '94'', ''[='98=]'', and ''2002'', they received [[VideoGameRemake remakes]] on [=PS2=] instead (''[='94=] Re-Bout'', ''[='98=] Ultimate Match'', and ''2002 Unlimited Match'').

105[[folder:First-Person Shooter]]
106* In preparation for ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'', Irrational Games brought out ''[=BioShock=]: Ultimate Rapture Edition'' for Xbox 360 and [=PlayStation=] 3 containing ''VideoGame/BioShock1'' and ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' and [=DLC=]s for both games, including the [=PlayStation=] 3-exclusive Challenge Rooms DLC pack for the original ''[=BioShock=]'' on the Xbox 360 version that also features a NewGamePlus option upon beating the game. In 2016, 2K Released ''The [=BioShock=] Collection'' for Platform/PlayStation4, Platform/XboxOne, and PC, once again including all 3 games in the series, but with the first two being remastered to take advantage of eighth generation consoles and modern [=PCs=].
107* The ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'' games each had compilations of one game plus its expansions, respectively "One Unit: Whole Blood" for [[VideoGame/Blood1997 the first game]] and the European-exclusive "The Blood Group" for the second game. These names have since been used for the Website/GOGDotCom rereleases of the games and, in the former's case, the Platform/{{Steam}} release as well (''VideoGame/BloodIITheChosen'' on Steam is just "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Blood II: The Chosen + Expansion]]").
108* ''VideoGame/{{Descent}} I and II: The Definitive Collection''.
109* ''The Ultimate VideoGame/{{Doom}} Trilogy: Collector's Edition'' was a compilation of ''The Ultimate Doom'', ''VideoGame/DoomII'', and both halves of ''VideoGame/FinalDoom'', all set up so that they could easily run on Windows and use TCP/IP to play over the Internet.
110** The ''VideoGame/Doom3: BFG Edition'' release includes ''Ultimate Doom'', ''Doom 2'', and the formerly-Xbox 360-exclusive "No Rest for the Living" expansion from the XBLA release of the classic games on Platform/{{Xbox 360}}, Platform/PlayStation3, and PC. [[GameMod You could extract the wad files from the PC version as you could with all the other releases and play them on a source port of the original games, as well.]]
111** Before BFG Edition, there were ''Doom 3 Collector's Edition'' and the console version of its ExpansionPack ''Resurrection of Evil'', which included full ports of ''Ultimate Doom'' and ''Doom 2'' (the latter added ''Master Levels for Doom II''), complete with four player split screen deathmatch and cooperative game modes, as well as a pair of new secret levels.
112** id Software compiled all of the classic PC ''Doom'' games along with the first ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'', ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'', and the entire ''VideoGame/CommanderKeen'' series in the (very rare) ''id Anthology''. The compilation also featured several collectors items (an T-shirt, a miniature Cyberdemon statue, dog tags, and a poster), ''The Book of id'' that covers the company's history, and the infamous ''ComicBook/{{Doom}}'' comic book.
113** All of the classic ''Doom'' games (save for ''Doom 64'') were eventually brought to the [=PlayStation=] Store in the ''Doom Classic Complete'' collection for [=PlayStation=] 3, compiling the XBLA versions of the first two games, ''Final Doom'', and ''Master Levels for Doom II''.
114** An early example includes ''Doom'' and ''Final Doom'' on the Platform/PlayStation. The former contained both the first and second games, while the latter had Master Levels to go along with both halves of its wad. In this case, most of the maps were redesigned or replaced.
115* The ''Franchise/FarCry Compilation'' for Platform/PlayStation3 and Platform/Xbox360 includes ''VideoGame/FarCry2'' and ''[[VideoGame/FarCry3 3]]'' on one disc (the former requires full installation), plus a download voucher for ''[[VideoGame/FarCry3BloodDragon Blood Dragon]]''. The equivalent ''Far Cry: The Wild Expedition'' set released in Europe has all the same games, [[RegionalBonus plus another voucher]] for ''VideoGame/FarCry1 Classic''.
116* Valve would release the ''VideoGame/HalfLife1 Anthology'' in 2005 for PC, a compendium of Half-Life games on the "[=GoldSrc=]" engine featuring ''VideoGame/HalfLife1'', ''VideoGame/HalfLifeBlueShift'', ''VideoGame/HalfLifeOpposingForce'', and ''VideoGame/TeamFortressClassic''.
117* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':
118** Microsoft released a box set containing ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'', ''VideoGame/Halo2'', and the ''Halo 2'' Multiplayer Map Pack (a disc-based method of obtaining most of the DLC maps).
119** Similarly, ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' for the Platform/XboxOne contains ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', a new Anniversary Edition of ''Halo 2'' (featuring switchable graphics like ''CE Anniversary'', new FMV cutscenes, story-expanding beacons done similarly to ''CEA''[='s=], and a bonus multiplayer mode made with a new engine), ''VideoGame/Halo3'', and ''VideoGame/Halo4'', as well as the original multiplayer components for each. Due to problems plaguing the game's online mode at launch, Creator/ThreeFourThreeIndustries [[WinBackTheCrowd later added]] the campaign from ''VideoGame/Halo3ODST'' via a patch as well as another map for ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' multiplayer. It was then given a major overhaul in 2018 that included support for the Xbox One X. In 2019 it was announced that ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' will be added to the collection along with bringing the collection to the PC. In September 22, 2020, the Firefight mode from ''ODST'' was finally released (around the same time ''Halo 3 ODST'' was added to the PC port). 2020 will see the collection brought to the Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS a week after the launch of both consoles.
120** Somewhere between this and MissionPackSequel, ''Halo 3: ODST'' included the multiplayer half of ''Halo 3'' rather than making a separate multiplayer. Likewise, ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' has ''Halo Reach'' multiplayer packaged in, only playable on remakes of the ''Halo 1'' maps.
121* ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}}'' had a trilogy package that included ''Killzone HD'', ''2'', and ''3''.
122* Creator/{{Nintendo}} pulled the UpdatedRerelease variant of this trope with the ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy'' for the Platform/{{Wii}}. While Japan got separate {{Updated Rerelease}}s in the form of New Play Control ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' and ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes'' at $30 (equivalent) a pop, the compilation is $10 less and includes ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'', so you actually save $60 if you didn't already have them... if you bought the game while it was being printed. For a good while, it was out-of-print, and effectively became a LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition that was almost entirely [[http://www.ebay.com/ctg/99386649?_trksid=p4340.l2644 in the hands of eBay scalpers.]] CrackIsCheaper. Fortunately, in January 2015, Nintendo rereleased ''Trilogy'' on the Wii U eShop for a much more affordable price of $20.
123* ''The Orange Box'', which has ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', the two pseudo-expansion Episodes, ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', and ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''. This ''started'' as a compilation, and is now sold as separate titles. Also, it was originally announced as both ''The Orange Box'', which includes everything, and "The Black Box", which would have just contained the new stuff (''Episode Two'', ''[=TF2=]'' and ''Portal''), though the latter was cancelled (outside of third-party promotions, like for purchasing some ATI Radeon [=GPUs=] at the time) in favor of Steam introducing the ability to give games bought in a compilation which you already own a copy of to friends.
124* ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}'':
125** The first game had two: the first, ''Super Postal'', was a Japan-only exclusive compilation which included both the original game and the ''Special Delivery'' expansion, as well as Japanese voice acting and two exclusive levels set in Tokyo and Osaka. The second, ''Postal Plus'', was released in 2001 in North America and 2002 in Europe (as ''Postal: Classic and Uncut''), which included only the ''Special Delivery'' levels.
126** The ''Postal Fudge Pack'', released in 2006 for PC and Mac, contained ''Postal Plus'' and ''VideoGame/Postal2'' with both ''Share the Pain'' and ''Apocalypse Weekend'' expansions, as well as the ''A Week In Paradise'' and ''Eternal Damnation'' mods. The second game, its expansions and the ''A Week In Paradise Lost'' were later bundled with ''The Postal 2 Collection'' bundle on Steam alongside the ''Paradise Lost'' DLC.
127** The Postal 20th Anniversary Collection includes the Steam releases of ''Postal'', ''The Postal 2 Collection'', ''Postal Redux'', the 2007 ''Film/{{Postal}}'' movie and... ''VideoGame/Postal3''.
128* ''VideoGame/{{Resistance}}'' was released in a dual pack, including 1 and 2, before being released in a ''collection'' package which had 3 included.
129* The ''VideoGame/{{Unreal}} Deal Pack'' for digital releases includes almost all the PC games in the ''Unreal'' series, with much of the content from their most recent rereleases; all that's missing is ''Unreal Tournament 2003'', owing to ''[[VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004 2004]]'' [[MissionPackSequel including all of its content]], as well as the second disks for ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament''[='=]s Game of the Year edition and ''2004''[='=]s Editor's Choice edition, both of which included several optional {{Game Mod}}s for the respective games.
130[[/folder]]
131
132[[folder:Hack and Slash]]
133* For a while, physical versions of ''VideoGame/Bayonetta2'' on Wii U served as one as it also included an updated version of [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} the first game]] on two separate discs. However, since Bayonetta's inclusion into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'', ''Bayonetta 2'' was reprinted at a cheaper price point without the first ''Bayonetta'', but the first game can still be downloaded through the Wii U [=eShop=].
134* Before the ''HD Collection'' re-release, ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' had the ''5th Anniversary Collection'' containing the [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 first]] [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry2 three]] [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening games]] in the series. Other than using the [[UpdatedRerelease Special Edition]] of ''3'', there were no additions or changes from the original releases.
135* ''VideoGame/{{Rune}}'' was given a re-release in 2001, titled ''Rune Gold'', containing the original game and its standalone expansion pack. In 2012, it was re-released to Steam and a year later to GOG.com as ''Rune Classic'', which is the content of ''Rune Gold'' with the addition of new enemies from the [=PS2=] port and streamlining of the game's larger levels.
136[[/folder]]
137
138[[folder:Light Gun Game]]
139* Namco collected most of their [=PlayStation=] {{Light Gun Game}}s on the Japan-only [=PS2=] release ''Gunvari Collection + VideoGame/TimeCrisis'', "Gunvari" being the Japanese series title for ''VideoGame/PointBlank1994''.
140* ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis2'' had an interesting example of this: It includes three additional games. One called ''Agent Trainer'', and the other two are digital releases of physical machines: ''Shoot Away II'' and ''Quick & Crash''.
141* ''Silent Scope Complete'' for the Platform/{{Xbox}} collected all the ''VideoGame/SilentScope'' games, including the previously arcade-exclusive ''Silent Scope EX''.
142* ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers I & II'' for the Platform/PlayStation.
143* ''Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack'' for the Platform/{{Wii}}.
144[[/folder]]
145
146[[folder:Pinball]]
147* ''3-D Ultra Pinball Power'' was a compilation that collected ''VideoGame/ThreeDUltraPinball, VideoGame/ThreeDUltraPinballCreepNight,'' and ''3-D Ultra Pinball: Lost Continent,'' along with ''VideoGame/TheIncredibleMachine'' and a demo of ''3-D Ultra Golf.''
148* In 2000, Interplay collected all four games of the ''VideoGame/ProPinball'' series (''VideoGame/ProPinballTheWeb, VideoGame/ProPinballTimeshock, VideoGame/ProPinballBigRaceUSA,'' and ''VideoGame/ProPinballFantasticJourney'') in ''Gamefest: Pinball Classics''.
149[[/folder]]
150
151[[folder:Platform Games]]
152* ''VideoGame/BubbleBobble also featuring VideoGame/RainbowIslands'' ([=PlayStation=], Saturn, PC). The same two games were compiled with ''VideoGame/TheNewZealandStory'' in Ocean's ''Rainbow Collection''.
153* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy'' is a compilation [[VideoGameRemake remake]] of the original three [=PS1=] games released on the [=PS4=]: ''VideoGame/{{Crash Bandicoot|1996}}'', ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot2CortexStrikesBack'', and ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot3Warped''. Developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Creator/{{Activision}}, ''N. Sane Trilogy'' features updated graphics, improved gameplay, and even the option to play as Crash's sister Coco in all three games, as well as having several {{Scrappy Mechanic}}s from the original trilogy fixed and rectified to make them more fair.
154* ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter Collection'' ([[MarketBasedTitle alias]] ''Jak and Daxter Trilogy'') for the Platform/PlayStation3, later ported to the Platform/PlayStationVita.
155* ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamCollection Special Edition'' on the Wii contains ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand'', ''VideoGame/KirbysAdventure'', ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand2'', ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'', ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'', and ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards''. In addition to the re-releases, it features challenges using the engine of ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' that involve making use of copy abilities to get through an area (similar to in that game, but with brand-new challenges) as well as races with Magolor from that game and also a museum feature chronicling release dates of Kirby games and Creator/{{Nintendo}} consoles and real-life events (such as the UsefulNotes/OlympicGames and UsefulNotes/UnitedStates presidential elections) as well as a couple of episodes from ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa''.
156* ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}'' finally got a rerelease compilation in Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series. Which includes the 2 mainline games, Door To Phantomile and Lunatea's Veil. While the Door To Phantomile remake is based on the Wiimake, this marks the first time Lunatea's Veil officially got rereleased and remade.
157* The ''Franchise/MegaMan'' series has had quite a few compilations.
158** The earliest one was ''VideoGame/MegaManTheWilyWars'' (JP: ''Rockman Mega World'') for the Platform/SegaMegaDrive, a ''Super Mario All-Stars''-style compilation of the first three NES games that was released in Japan, Europe and Brazil only (until the Sega Genesis Mini arrived in America, that is). It also included a bonus game called "Wily Tower" that centered around Mega Man doing battle with Wily's newest creations, the Genesis Unit, three robots based off of ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''.
159** The six NES games were given individual re-releases for the [=PlayStation=] as part of the ''Rockman Complete Works'' series, along with a two-in-one compilation for the [=PS2=] of the arcade games ''Power Battle'' and ''Power Fighters'', although westerners got a better deal in the end by receiving the ''Mega Man Anniversary Collection'', a compilation of ''Mega Man 1--8''[[note]]with ''8'' being the [=PlayStation=] version[[/note]], with the arcade games as hidden extras.
160** There was also the ''Mega Man X Collection'', a compilation of ''VideoGame/MegaManX 1-6'' as well as the Japan and Europe-only ''Battle & Chase''. It should be noted that the version of ''Mega Man X3'' they used in this collection was the [=PlayStation=] re-release.
161** ''VideoGame/MegaManZero Collection'' was released for the Platform/NintendoDS, compiling the four GBA games and bringing the previously [[NoExportForYou Japan-exclusive]] ''Zero 3'' e-Reader features outside of Japan.
162** Beginning in 2015, the franchise would release compilations under the ''Legacy Collections''[[labelnote:*]](though each collection has a unique name in Japanese)[[/labelnote]] brand:
163*** The ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}}'' series was split into two collections, the first covering the first six games from the NES console while the second had the remaining four main titles[[note]]with ''8'' again being the [=PlayStation=] version; ''VideoGame/MegaMan11'' isn't included because the collections predate it[[/note]]. Both compilations were combined into a single compilation for the Platform/NintendoSwitch in 2018. The collections also feature unique challenges based on scenarios in the games, which includes a BossRush for every game.
164*** The ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series received the same treatment with the ''X Legacy Collection'' with the first one containing ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX1 X1]]''-''[[VideoGame/MegaManX4 X4]]'' (with the Super NES version of ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX3 X3]]'' being used this time) and the second one containing ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX5 X5]]''-''[[VideoGame/MegaManX8 X8]]''. Both versions contain an extra mode called the ''X Challenge'', a boss rush of the Mavericks (and a few other bosses) featured from ''X1''-''X6'' where players have to take on [[DualBoss two of them at once]], and the Day of Σ OVA from ''VideoGame/MegaManMaverickHunterX''.
165*** A third one was released in 2020 with the four ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' games and the ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' duology combined into one ''Zero/ZX Legacy Collection'', along with a new Z-Chaser mode, a competitive speedrunning mode with select stages from each game. It also included the ''Zero 3'' e-Reader features along with the ability to link ''Zero 3'' and ''Zero 4'' to ''ZX'' in order to access both halves of the optional BossRush in Area N, simulating how you would insert the GBA cartridges in question into the DS to access them in the original release (and leaving you out of luck if you were playing on a [=DSi=] or [=3DS=]).
166*** A fourth for ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' was released in 2023 in two volumes with three games each, with those that got the OneGameForThePriceOfTwo treatment (that being every game starting from ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man Battle Network 3|WhiteAndBlue}}'') having both versions available. It also featured access to event-exclusive chips, official and concept art galleries, and a music collection; for the latter trilogy, you can even use Patch Cards that were designed for a Japanese-exclusive peripheral. Only the main GBA games were featured in the compilations; side games like ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleChipChallenge'', ''VideoGame/RockManEXE45RealOperation'', or ''Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team DS'' were not included.
167* ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvoltSeries: Striker Pack'' (JP: ''Armed Blue Gunvolt: Striker Pack'') is a compilation published by ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' developer Yacht Club Games that bundles the [[VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt first]] and [[VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt2 second]] game in the ''Gunvolt'' series in a physical package. This compilation also serves as an update for the first ''Gunvolt'' by relocalizing the game and restoring the cut dialogue and voice-overs from the Japanese version, however those with the digital version prior to the ''Striker Pack'' eventually received a patch to bring the cut story content back into the game. This collection later received an updated version on the Platform/NintendoSwitch and later [=PlayStation=] 4 which brings both games running at 60 FPS, revises the menus and HUD to fit in a single screen, HD cutscene artwork, bundles every [=DLC=] available from the sequel, adds a new song for Lumen, supports multiple languages, controller vibration support, and incorporating ''Gunvolt 2''[='=]s difficulty system and balance tweaks for the first game.
168* ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Trilogy'' for the SNES collected all three NES games with relatively few enhancements other than the addition of a PasswordSave.
169* ''Franchise/PrinceOfPersia Trilogy'', a compilation of ''[[VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime Sands of Time]]'', ''[[VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaWarriorWithin Warrior Within]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheTwoThrones The Two Thrones]]'', originally released in 2006 for the Platform/PlayStation2 (in Europe only) and then remastered in 2010 for the Platform/PlayStation3.
170* The Game Boy Advance version of ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'' was re-bundled along with ''Rayman Advance'' as a little 10th anniversary package.
171* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
172** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioAllStars'' is a VideoGameRemake compilation of these for the Super NES. It has ''Super Mario Bros. [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 1]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 2]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 3]]'', plus the previous Japan-only ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels The Lost Levels]]'', but with updated graphics and sound as well as a save feature to allow players to play the games in smaller sittings (''The Lost Levels'' saves each level of the worlds to make it easier to progress through the [[NintendoHard very hard]] game, while the other, less difficult games in the compilation only save the world and not each individual level). It, too, was often packed with the system, and a later edition was made bigger by including a slightly edited ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''. Years later, it was ported to the Platform/{{Wii}} for the 25th anniversary of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''. This edition lacks ''Super Mario World'' due to it already being on the Platform/VirtualConsole, but it has {{feelies}} instead, consisting of an artwork book and a soundtrack CD.
173** ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'' is a compilation of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine Sunshine]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Galaxy]]'' for the Nintendo Switch, marking the series' 35th anniversary in 2020. All three games have higher resolution, as well as ''Sunshine'' being playable in a 16:9 aspect ratio. It also features the soundtrack of all three games.
174* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
175** The first ''Sonic'' compilation was the ''Sonic Classics 3-in-1'' for the Sega Genesis, which combined the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 first]] and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 second]] games with ''VideoGame/DrRobotniksMeanBeanMachine'' on a single cart.
176** One of the most noteworthy collections in ''Sonic'' history is ''VideoGame/SonicJam'' for the Platform/SegaSaturn, which included the previous two platform games along with ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' (which could be played separated, locked-on to each other, locked onto ''Sonic 2'', and ''VideoGame/BlueSphere''). The thing that sets this collection apart is the inclusion of "Sonic World" -- a free-roaming 3D museum that lets the player run Sonic around to various exhibits of ''Sonic'' media and history as well as completing various objectives in the 3D world[[note]]This was a leftover of the scrapped plan to make the original ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' for the Sega Saturn[[/note]]. Another unique trait of this collection is the games are not emulations but actual ports with various changes (such as adding the Spin Dash function to ''Sonic 1'' and offering up simpler maps to make the game easier), causing them to run slightly differently from their Sega Genesis originals.
177** Although it is called a "collection", ''Sonic & Knuckles Collection'' for Windows 95 is more of a way to play ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'' on PC while also allowing the player to split them up as well as play ''Blue Sphere'' (the GameMod ''Sonic 3 Complete'' could be seen as the Sega Genesis equivalent of this). It's mostly notable for its MIDI soundtrack and the complete replacement of the music from the latter three Zones of ''Sonic 3'' (later discovered to be recomposed versions of unused music that was intended for ''Sonic 3'' but changed following the involvement of Music/MichaelJackson during production). It also included the ''Sonic Screen Saver'' application. This version itself was later compiled into other compilations, including the ''Sonic & Garfield Pack'' that packed it along with ''Videogame/GarfieldCaughtInTheAct'' and ''Baku Baku'', the ''Sonic Action Pack'' that included it with ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD Sonic CD]]'' and ''VideoGame/SonicR'', and the ''Sonic Action 4 Pack'' that added another compilation (''Sega Smash Pack 2''[[labelnote:Contents]]''VideoGame/ComixZone'', ''VideoGame/{{Flicky}}'', ''VideoGame/KidChameleon'', ''Sega Swirl'', ''VideoGame/ShiningForce'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'', ''Super VideoGame/HangOn'', and ''VideoGame/{{Vectorman}} 2''[[/labelnote]]) to the existing compilation.
178** For the Platform/NintendoGameCube there is ''Sonic Mega Collection'', which encapsulates a range of emulated 16-bit ''Sonic'' titles including the core platforming trilogy (along with their locked-on variants), ''Mean Bean Machine'', ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogSpinball Sonic Spinball]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3DFlickiesIsland Sonic 3D Blast]]'' (and even non-''Sonic'' games ''VideoGame/{{Flicky}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Ristar}}''). Also included were some other extras such as [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Archie Comics]] scans. This collection was re-released as ''Sonic Mega Collection Plus'' for the Platform/PlayStation2 and Platform/{{Xbox}} and added ''VideoGame/ComixZone'', ''VideoGame/TheOoze'', and several Game Gear ''Sonic'' titles. Several of the games need to be unlocked by starting the pre-unlocked games a specific number of times.
179** Falling between a CompilationRerelease and EmbeddedPrecursor, ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure DX'' for the [=GameCube=] and PC (2004 version only) includes the ability to unlock every Game Gear game from the ''Sonic'' series, which marks the first official release of ''VideoGame/SonicDrift'' and ''VideoGame/TailsSkyPatrol'' in western territories. These extras were dropped from the later ports to the Platform/Xbox360, Platform/PlayStation3, and PC via Steam in 2011.
180** A "sequel" of sorts to ''Mega Collection'' came to the [=GameCube=] and [=PlayStation 2=] only in the form of ''Sonic Gems Collection''. The centerpiece of this collection was ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD Sonic CD]]'', which had missed out on the previous ''Sonic'' game collections in the past (however it was not the Platform/SegaCD original but the Windows 95 port from 1996). Also included were the first home port of ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' and ''VideoGame/SonicR'' (also ported from the Windows version of the game) and more Game Gear titles. For non-''Sonic'' games the collection included the two ''VideoGame/{{Vectorman}}'' games and, only in the Japanese release, the ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'' trilogy and ''VideoGame/BonanzaBros'' (they were likely dropped from the western releases over concerns of raising the rating beyond the target demographic). There was also a large unlockable collection of ''Sonic'' stuff to find, which included timed demos for the other ''Sonic'' games not included in the collection.
181** Exclusive to the Platform/NintendoDS is ''Sonic Classic Collection'', which features slightly modified emulated versions of the Genesis trilogy (and locked-on titles, minus ''Blue Sphere''). There are also a few extras to be found (such as artwork from the series early years).
182** Steam and Sega released the mega bundle Sonic Hits Collection, which contains 14 Sonic games -- ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', ''Sonic the Hedgehog 2'', ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'', ''Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine'', ''Sonic Spinball'', ''3D Blast'', ''Sonic Adventure DX'', ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', ''Sonic CD'' (the remake), ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 Episode 1 and 2'', ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]'' and ''Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed''. It also contains the DLC to turn ''Sonic Adventure 2'' into ''Sonic Adventure 2 Battle'', add in the Casino Night Zone minigame to ''Generations'' and added Metal Sonic and the Outrun stage to ''Transformed'', all of these games can be purchased individually.
183** On the 31st Anniversary of the franchise, SEGA released ''Sonic Origins'', a collection consisting of remasters of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'', and ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles''. The release includes special animated cutscenes that properly ties each of the games' stories together, the ability to play as Tails and Knuckles in every game with the exception of ''Sonic CD'', and a bunch of extra content like a BossRush, TimeTrial mode, and the Drop Dash from 2017's ''VideoGame/SonicMania''. Most notably, ''Origins'' is the first time in 11 years that ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'' sees a rerelease and is developed by Headcannon, the same team who handled the remasters of every prior Classic-era title as well as ''Mania''. It would get an UpdatedRerelease in the form of ''Sonic Origins Plus'', which bundles all of the content from the premium [=DLCs=], adds in a number of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' Game Gear games, the ability to play as Amy in the original four games, and adding Knuckles in ''CD''.
184* ''VideoGame/SpyroReignitedTrilogy'' follows the similar line of Crash, being a recreation of the games ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon1998'', ''VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage'', and ''VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon'' from the original [=PlayStation=] Era for the [=PS4=]. Developed by Toys For Bob, Reignited follows a similar model done by the aformentioned N. Sane trilogy for Crash, improving on the graphics and designs, to the point of redesigning and recasting every single one of the 80 adult dragons.
185* ''Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King'' has the Sega Genesis version of ''VideoGame/{{Aladdin|VirginGames}}'', a final cut version and a prototype version as well as the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo versions of ''VideoGame/TheLionKing''. Both have the Game Boy ports available as well. An UpdatedRerelease, ''Disney Classic Games Collection: Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book'', adding ''VideoGame/TheJungleBook'' and the SNES version of ''VideoGame/{{Aladdin|Capcom}}'' was released later on. It is also available as DownloadableContent for those that own the original game.
186* ''VideoGame/{{Valis}}: The Fantasm Soldier Collection'' for the Platform/NintendoSwitch compiles the first three games in their PC Engine forms.
187[[/folder]]
188
189[[folder:Party Game]]
190* The first three games of ''VideoGame/{{Richman}}'' series is bundled together as ''Richman: Classic'', avaliable on Platform/{{Steam}} as well as a limited physical release. The fourth, fifth and sixth game also get a limited released known as ''I'm the Richman''.
191* ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' has had a ton of compilation re-releases over the years.
192[[/folder]]
193
194[[folder:Puzzle Game]]
195* ''VideoGame/AmateurSurgeon'' received a compilation release with its fourth title ''Regenerations'', containing each installment barring the Christmas edition.
196* ''Nintendo Puzzle Collection'', a Japan-only [=GameCube=] compilation of ''VideoGame/DrMario'', ''Yoshi's Cookie'' and ''VideoGame/PanelDePon''. A GBA edition was also made, and actually released outside of Japan, but it only included ''Dr. Mario'' and ''Puzzle League'' (basically, ''VideoGame/PanelDePon'' without any personality).
197* ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}: Companion Collection'' is a Nintendo Switch compilation of the two ''Portal'' games. Released in 2022, it also includes the bonus levels from ''Portal: Still Alive'', an Xbox Live Arcade port of the first game.
198* ''VideoGame/PuzzleAndDragons Z'' and ''Puzzle & Dragons: Franchise/SuperMarioBros Edition'' were released as separate games in Japan, but in North America, Europe, Australia, and South Korea, both games come in the same product for the price of one game, a deal that [[NoExportForYou has never hit Japan]].
199[[/folder]]
200
201[[folder:Real Time Strategy]]
202* ''VideoGame/RiseOfNations'' got a compilation rerelease with its ExpansionPack ''Thrones and Patriots'' twice. First there was a box set that gave ''T&P'' top billing, then in mid-2014 that collection got an UpdatedRerelease on Platform/{{Steam}} (with improved graphics and Steamworks integration) as ''Rise of Nations: Extended Edition''.
203* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' had compilations, most notably:
204** ''Command & Conquer: The First Decade'' (2006) had the C&C games up until 2003's ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals'' expansion ''Zero Hour''. It includes the FPS spinoff ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRenegade Renegade]]'' but leaves out ''Sole Survivor'' (an [[TechDemoGame experimental, multiplayer-only, deathmatch style game with no plot]] and is considered CanonDiscontinuity).
205** ''Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection'' (2012) is a digital-only release with the above plus ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquer3TiberiumWars C&C 3: Tiberium Wars]] + Kane's Wrath'', ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3 Red Alert 3]] + Uprising'', and ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianTwilight C&C 4: Tiberian Twilight]]''.
206** The series also had various smaller compilations of random games, notably "Worldwide Warfare" (1998, the first game and ''Red Alert'' with all expansions), "Theater of War" (2001, the first four games without expansions), and "The Command & Conquer Collection"[[note]][[MarketBasedTitle alternately]] the "Command & Conquer: Combat Pack" in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, or "Command & Conquer: Collected" in Oceania[[/note]] (2003, ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun Tiberian Sun]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2 Red Alert 2]]'' plus their expansions, ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRenegade Renegade]]'', and a demo for ''Generals'').
207** The [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianDawn first game]] and ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert Red Alert]]'' got the ''Remastered Collection'' in 2020, which features some minor graphics updates and gameplay changes, all three expansion packs (''Covert Ops'' for ''Command and Conquer'', ''Counterstrike'' and ''Aftermath'' for ''Red Alert''), the [[VersionExclusiveContent PS1 and Nintendo 64 exclusive]] missions for the first game, the [=PS1=]-exclusive ''Retaliation'' cutscenes for the ''Red Alert'' expansions, easily accessible secret campaigns (Dinosaur missions for ''C&C'', Ant missions for ''Red Alert'') and a functional 6-player skirmish and multiplayer for the first game (8-player for ''Red Alert'').

213* ''VideoGame/BitTrip SAGA'' is a compilation of all six ''BIT.TRIP'' games for the Platform/Nintendo3DS. ''BIT.TRIP COMPLETE'', likewise, is a compilation for Platform/{{Wii}} that takes the original [=WiiWare=] games and gives them DifficultyLevels, online leaderboards, challenge modes, and UnlockableContent. Notable that this will be the first time the games have gone retail with the former collection receiving a digital version in late 2012, making both also available digitally on both platforms (albeit still individually on the Wii).

216[[folder:Shoot 'em Up]]
217* ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Collection'' on PSP in 2006. This is particularly significant for North American players, because it is the first official NA release of ''Gradius Gaiden'' (first released in 1997 in [[NoExportForYou Japan only]]) and ''Gradius II'' (which only saw a European and Australian release in the arcades under the title of ''Vulcan Venture'' in 1988, and all of its console ports were exclusive to Japan).
218** ''Salamander Portable'', which had ''Salamander'', ''Life Force'', ''Salamander 2'' and ''XEXEX'' (previously arcade-exclusive), was also released for the PSP, but in Japan only.
219** ''VideoGame/{{Parodius}} Portable'' was another Japan-only PSP compilation. However, the earlier ''Gokujou Parodius Da! Deluxe Pack'', a compilation of the first two arcade games for the Platform/SegaSaturn and Platform/PlayStation, did get a European release.
220** Also exclusive to Japan were ''Gradius Deluxe Pack'' and ''Salamander Deluxe Pack'' for the original [=PlayStation=].
221** The [=PS2=] had ''Gradius III & IV'', the former being a direct port of the notoriously NintendoHard arcade version, although it included an EasierThanEasy difficulty setting and a few unlockable powerups from the SNES game.
222* ''VideoGame/GingaForce & VideoGame/{{Eschatos}} Wonder Pack'' for the Xbox 360, bundling ''Eschatos'' and its spiritual sequel, along with a soundtrack. ''Eschatos'' also includes colored versions of the [=WonderSwan=] games ''VideoGame/JudgementSilversword'' and ''Cardinal Sins''.
223* The ''Gundemonium Collection'' consists of three BulletHell {{Shoot Em Up}}s (''Gundemonium Recollection'', ''[=GundeadliGne=]'' and ''Hitogata Happa'') originally independently developed by Platine Dispositif, and then published by Rockin' Android for PC (its original platform) and the Platform/PlaystationNetwork.
224* Creator/HudsonSoft put the Famicom version of ''Star Force'' together with ''VideoGame/StarSoldier'' and ''Hector '87'' in a compilation released for the Platform/SuperFamicom as ''Caravan Shooting Collection'' and for the Platform/GameBoyAdvance as ''Hudson Best Collection Vol.5''.
225* In Japan, the first and second ''VideoGame/PanzerDragoon'' games were re-released as ''Panzer Dragoon I & II'' several months after the second game was released.
226* ''The VideoGame/{{Raiden}} Project'' for the original Platform/PlayStation regroups ''Raiden'' and ''Raiden II''.
227* ''Raiden Fighters Aces'' for the Platform/{{Xbox 360}} is a compilation of all three ''VideoGame/RaidenFighters'' games, released in 2008 in Japan and 2009 in North America (10 and 11 years, respectively, after the newest game in the compilation, ''Raiden Fighters Jet''). This is after two failed attempts to port the series--once for the Platform/SegaSaturn in 1997, and once for the original Xbox and PC in 2003.
228* ''[[VideoGame/RType R-Types]]'' for the original [=PlayStation=], and ''R-Type Dimensions'' on XBLA and later PSN.
229* ''VideoGame/{{SUGURI}}'' and its spin-off, ''Acceleration of SUGURI'', plus its expansion pack was released overseas by Rockin' Android in physical form as ''SUGURI - Perfect Edition'' and digitally as ''SUGURI Collection''. Both compilations also includes the games' original soundtrack as an added bonus.
230* ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders Anniversary'' had various incarnations of the first game, upright and tabletop versions of ''Space Invaders Part II'', and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhDEP2KgFT0 new 3D version of the first game]].
231* ''VideoGame/ThunderForce Gold Pack 1'' and ''Pack 2'' for the Platform/SegaSaturn had the three ''Thunder Force'' games released for the Platform/MegaDrive plus ''Thunder Force AC''.
232* ''Creator/{{Toaplan}} Shooting Battle Volume 1'' for the Platform/PlayStation included ''VideoGame/TigerHeli'' and both the Japanese and international versions of ''VideoGame/TwinCobra''. No second volume was released.
233* Konami's ''Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection'' is functionally one, as it includes only one game (''VideoGame/HauntedCastle'') that is not a shoot 'em up. It includes ''{{VideoGame/Scramble}}'', ''VideoGame/TwinBee'', ''[[{{VideoGame/Gradius}} Nemesis]]'', ''{{VideoGame/Salamander}}'', ''Typhoon'', ''Vulcan Venture'', and ''VideoGame/ThunderCross''.
234* ''VideoGame/{{ExZeus}}: The Complete Collection'' for PC, [=PlayStation=] 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch is a compilation of ''[=ExZeus=] Arcade'' (the updated mobile re-release of [=ExZeus=]) and ''[=ExZeus=] 2''.
235* ''[=MileStone=] Shooting Collection: Karous Wii'' for Wii compiles three of [=MileStone=]'s shoot 'em ups games: ''VideoGame/{{Karous}}'' with ''VideoGame/ChaosField'' and ''VideoGame/{{Radirgy}}'' as unlockable bonus games; it was later localized as ''Ultimate Shooting Collection'' in the US with the latter two games already unlocked.
236** ''[=MileStone=] Shooting Collection 2'' is the same as the above, adding ''illvelo'' and ''Radirgy Noa'' with the aforementioned games.
237** ''Sakura Flamingo Archives.'' for the Xbox 360 developed by KLON after the dissolution of [=MileStone=], Inc. is also the same as the previous collection, only this time it adds two modes using assets and ships from the included games. Despite the inclusion of ''Radirgy Noa Massive'', it is based off the arcade version however rather than its standalone Xbox 360 release which offers other modes to play.
238* ''Ray'z Arcade Chronology'' by Creator/{{M2}} is a compilation of Creator/{{TAITO}}'s ''VideoGame/{{RAY|Series}}'' trilogy consisting of their original arcade versions plus ''[=RayStorm=] Neo-HD''[[note]]to differentiate from the 2010 ''HD'' console version on Xbox 360 and [=PlayStation=] 3, ''Neo-HD'' is a remaster based on its arcade version retaining its original 4:3 aspect-ratio[[/note]] and ''[=RayCrisis=] HD''. There is also ''[=RayStorm=] X [=RayCrisis=] HD Collection'', which has the same content as the ''Ray'z Arcade Chronology'' sans ''[=RayForce=]'' made primarily for those who already own the ''Layer Section & Galactic Attack S-Tribute'' port by City Connection.

242* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
243** ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater Metal Gear Solid 3]]: [[UpdatedRerelease Subsistence]]'' came with a second disc with various extra game modes, [[EmbeddedPrecursor including updated versions]] of the original ''VideoGame/MetalGear1'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake'' originally released for the [=MSX2=].
244** ''Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection'' is a box set released in commemoration of the [[VideoGame/MetalGear series]]' [[MilestoneCelebration 20th anniversary]] that includes ''[=MGS1=]'' for the original Platform/PlayStation, as well as ''[=MGS2=]'' and ''[=MGS3=]'' for Platform/PlayStation2. Although the ''Subsistence'' version of ''[=MGS3=]'' is the one included, the second disc is absent because of ''Metal Gear Online'' no longer being active. This also meant that all the other game modes in the second disc, including the [=MSX2=] games, were absent, along with all the unlockable camo patterns and items for the main game that the player gets for clearing all the Duel Mode and Snake vs. Monkey missions.
245*** The ''Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Collection'', a similar set released in Japan, includes the same games as the ''Essential'' set[[note]]The main difference being that ''[=MGS2=]'' is the original ''Sons of Liberty'' edition and not ''Substance'', due to ''Substance'' only having the English dub.[[/note]], along with a special [=PS2=] disc containing the two [=MSX2=] games, the rare ''Document of [=MGS2=]'' disc and ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPortableOps Portable Ops]]'' for the Platform/PlayStationPortable in a special UMD case.
246** ''Metal Gear Solid HD Collection'' includes ''[=MGS2=]'' and ''[=MGS3=]'', along with a console port of ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Peace Walker]]'', all [[UpdatedRerelease updated]] for the [=PS3=], Xbox 360, and Vita (although the Vita version doesn't include ''Peace Walker'', because Konami assumed that people would use a digital copy of the PSP version). The version of ''[=MGS3=]'' included has the [=MSX2=] games as well, but excised ''Subsistence''[='=]s multiplayer component (in favor of the ''Peace Walker'' multiplayer), the "Guy Savage" nightmare sequence (since the game [[ProductionForeshadowing its engine was intended for]] was cancelled), and the ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'' crossover minigame (due to ''Ape Escape'' being a Sony property).
247** ''Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection'' was released exclusively for the [=PS3=] in 2013, which includes all the games from the ''HD Collection'' and the motion comic adaptations of the ''[=MGS1=]'' and ''[=MGS2=]'' graphic novels on the same disc (both are fully voice-acted and treated as movies), as well as ''[=MGS4=]'' on a second disc and voucher codes to download ''[=MGS1=]'' and ''VR Missions'' from Platform/PlaystationNetwork, giving players the most complete collection yet.
248** ''The Master Collection'' was released for the series' 35th anniversary, including main titles updated for new consoles and featuring additional content with ConceptArtGallery, a SoundTest, and a screenplay and a [[LoreCodex Master Book]] covering every plot detail for the entire storyline.
249*** ''Volume 1'' features ''VideoGame/MetalGear1'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake'' alongside the NES version and ''VideoGame/SnakesRevenge''. The original version of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' coupled with ''VR Missions'', ''Special Operations'', and the ''Integral'' rerelease. The HD versions of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater''.

252[[folder:Survival Horror]]
253* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' had a ''Pure Evil'' box set on the [=GameCube=], which included ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'', ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' (the remake), and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''.
254** The Japan-exclusive ''Biohazard Collector's Box'' for the [=GameCube=] included not only the ''Biohazard'' remake and ''Biohazard 0'', but also the ports of ''2'', ''3'' and ''Code: Veronica'', as well as a copy of the ''Wesker's Report'' DVD, all in a unique chest-like case. The later released ''Biohazard Double Feature'' only include the remake and ''0'', but came with a demo for ''Biohazard 4''.
255** Earlier than that, Capcom released the ''[[MilestoneCelebration Biohazard 5th Anniversary Special Package]]'' box set, which included the first three games of the series for the original Platform/PlayStation and ''Code: Veronica X'' for the [=PS2=], along with other kinds of goodies, all in a briefcase-like case with CD holders for all the discs.
256** The Platform/PlayStation2 also had its own compilation release called the ''Essentials'', which included ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak'', ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica X'', and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''.
257** The ''Anthology'' edition of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' on [=PS3=] had download vouchers for the original [=PS1=] trilogy, ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 HD Edition'', and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 Gold Edition''. The similar themed ''Archives'' edition for the Platform/{{Xbox 360}} included vouchers for ''Code: Veronica'' in addition to ''4'' and ''5'', as well as a DVD of the CGI film ''Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration''.
258** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheUmbrellaChronicles'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles'' were put together on one disc for the [=PS3=]. The same has been done with ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica HD'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4''. [[NoExportForYou But only in Japan.]] Thankfully, the [=PlayStation=] 3 is region-free, and even then, all four of these games are downloabable, and are also put together in a bundle for a small discount.
259* ''Franchise/SilentHill HD Collection'' had the [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 second]] and [[VideoGame/SilentHill3 third]] games redone for HD. Unlike most examples, there were lots of changes in this version, including the option for new voice acting for [=SH2=] (although you only have new voice acting for [=SH3=]), reducing the amount of fog, and changing up a few other elements. Many long time fans, and new comers, argued that these changes were really unnecessary. [[PortingDisaster It also wasn't handled that well.]]

262[[folder:Third-Person Shooter]]
263* ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' has the Triple Pack, which bundles the first and second games, as well as all their DLC.
264* ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'':

267** 2022 saw the release of the ''Legacy of Thieves Collection'', which included Platform/Playstation5 ports of ''VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd'' and ''VideoGame/UnchartedTheLostLegacy'', but also marked the first instance of any ''Uncharted'' game being released on PC.

269
270[[folder:Visual Novel]]
271* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
272** ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Trilogy HD'', an UsefulNotes/{{iOS Game|s}} compilation of the first three ''Ace Attorney'' games. This compilation was later released for the Platform/Nintendo3DS eShop under the title ''Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy'' (the HD in the title is dropped because the size of the screen of a 3DS is much smaller than an iPhone's or an iPad's). Both versions feature new artwork in place of the original slightly pixellated sprites and the 3DS version includes minor 3D effects to work with the system's features. (Mostly limited to the text box, character sprite and background appearing as 3 separate layers) Another release of the compilation hit the Platform/PlayStation4, Platform/XboxOne, Platform/NintendoSwitch and PC in 2019.
273** ''Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy'' compiles the next three games in the series (''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'', ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'' and ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice''). The first game in this collection features the same kind of new artwork the games in the first compilation received, and all of the DownloadableContent from the latter two games is included. Also included are new language options, an in-game SoundTest, a ConceptArtGallery for all three games (which includes the prologue anime for ''Spirit of Justice''), an animation studio to mess around with character animations (comes with a convenient greenscreen), and an optional StoryDifficultySetting. It is available on the same platforms as the 2019 release of the first compilation.
274** ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney Chronicles'' is a 2021 compilation of the two formerly Japan-exclusive ''Dai Gyakuten Saiban'' titles that were originally released on the Nintendo 3DS. This compilation was released for the Nintendo Switch, [=PlayStation=] 4, and PC via Steam.
275* ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'':
276** ''1•2 Reload'' for the Platform/PlayStationVita and Platform/PlayStation4 compiled the first two games in the series, ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' and ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', with better graphics, touch controls, and a "School Mode" for the first game.
277** ''Danganronpa Decadence'' for the Platform/NintendoSwitch is compilation of not only the [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc three]] [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair main series]] [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony games]], but the spin-off ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaSUltimateSummerCamp'' as well. This compilation is only in physical format, as the downloadable versions will only be able to be bought individually.
278* After releasing a bunch of episodes of ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert'', the developers would periodically release downloadable bundles of episodes.
279* ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape: The Nonary Games'' for Platform/PlayStation4, Platform/PlaystationVita and Platform/{{Steam}} presents a Main/UpdatedRerelease edition of ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' with better graphics, voice acting, the Flowchart system from later entries of the franchise and some reworked puzzles, bundling it with its sequel ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward''.

282[[folder:Western RPG]]
283* Creator/InterplayEntertainment released the [[Franchise/BaldursGate Bhaalspawn Saga]]; or as it's known, ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'', ''[[VideoGame/BaldursGateTalesOfTheSwordCoast Tales of the Sword Coast]]'', ''[[VideoGame/BaldursGateII Shadows of Amn]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/BaldursGateIIThroneOfBhaal Throne of Bhaal]]''.
284* Creator/{{Atari}} released ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Anthology: The Master Collection'', which included all four parts of the ''VideoGame/BaldursGate Saga'', ''VideoGame/IcewindDale'' and its sequel, ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', and ''VideoGame/TheTempleOfElementalEvil''.
285* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' kept issuing new compilations as new expansions came out. The final one was the Diamond edition, which comprised the original campaign, ''Shadows of Undrentide'', ''Hordes of the Underdark'', and (after a patch) nine premium modules. [[VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2 The sequel]] followed suit and ended up on the Platinum edition after ''Storm of Zehir'' came out. Website/GOGDotCom took it one step further, adding in the ''Mysteries of Westgate'' premium module to create ''Neverwinter Nights 2 Complete''.
286* ''The VideoGame/{{Ultima}} Collection'', which included not only Ultima I-VIII (including ''Serpent Isle''), but all of the original manuals and maps in PDF format.
287* Creator/{{Bethesda}} has ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls Anthology'', which includes the five games in the main ''Elder Scrolls'' series: ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsArena Arena]], [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]], [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]], [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'', and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', as well as all the {{expansion pack}}s and DownloadableContent for ''Morrowind, Oblivion'', and ''Skyrim''. Even considering that ''Arena'' and ''Daggerfall'' were (and still are) available as {{freeware}}, it's still a damn good deal.
288* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' and it's MissionPackSequel ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands The Pre Sequel}}'', originally released on the [=PS3=], Xbox 360, and PC, were re-released on the [=PS4=] and Xbox One, complete with their ''boatloads'' of DLC[[note]]Good thing, too, especially since ''Borderlands 2'' was notorious for the amount of DLC that wasn't featured on it's own UpdatedRerelease.[[/note]], as ''Borderlands: The Handsome Collection''.
289** A second compilation was then released, again on the [=PS3=] and Xbox 360, containing everything that was in ''The Handsome Collection'' in addition to the original ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' and all of it's expansion packs. One might wonder why it wasn't included in ''The Handsome Collection'' in the first place, but at least the whole trilogy, and the mind-boggling amount of DLC, was finally packed into one box.
290* The ''Franchise/MassEffect'' trilogy (consisting of ''VideoGame/MassEffect'', ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' and ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'') got two of these: one was the ''Trilogy'' collection for the [=PS3=] that was released in 2012, which contains the three games as-is, while the other was the ''Legendary Edition'', released in 2021 for Windows [=PCs=] and current and next-generation [=PlayStation=] and Xbox consoles, which contains the base games with almost all the existing single-player [[DownloadableContent DLC]] [[note]] Only the ''Pinnacle Station'' DLC for the first game was not included, and only because the source files for it got corrupted on Bioware's end [[/note]] and a plethora of upgrades to the first game to bring it more in line with the other two, making it also an UpdatedReRelease.
291* The ''{{VideoGame/Fallout}} S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Anthology'' includes (nearly) every game in the series released up until that point (including ''VideoGame/FalloutTactics'' and ''VideoGame/Fallout76'', but not including ''VideoGame/FalloutBrotherhoodOfSteel''). The codes for all seven games are also presented as a set of collectible cards styled like the perk decks of ''Fallout 76'', and they're contained on a miniature nuke casing that plays a detonation sound when its top is taken off.

298** For the [=3D=]-era, ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII'' and ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity Vice City]]'' got a ''Double Pack'' for the original Xbox and [=PlayStation=] 2 in 2003. Another collection re-release that later added ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas San Andreas]]'', entitled ''Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy'', was released in 2005 for the Xbox, 2006 for the [=PlayStation=] 2, 2009 for Windows, and 2010 for Macintosh. ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCityStories Vice City Stories]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoLibertyCityStories Liberty City Stories]]'' also received a double pack for the [=PlayStation=] 2 in 2009. These re-releases for the Xbox also double as an UpdatedRerelease as those ports received some visuals enhancements and new features over their original [=PlayStation=] 2 counterparts. On October 8th, 2021, Rockstar announced ''Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition'' as part of the 20th anniversary of ''Grand Theft Auto III'', which includes ''III'', ''Vice City'' and ''San Andreas'', for Platform/PlayStation5, Platform/PlayStation4, Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS, Platform/XboxOne, and Platform/NintendoSwitch.

299** ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV Episodes from Liberty City]]'' was bundled with ''VideoGame/LANoire'', ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'', and ''VideoGame/MidnightClub: Los Angeles'' in 2012 as part of ''Rockstar Games Collection: Edition 1'' for Xbox 360 and [=PlayStation=] 3.

304[[folder:Miscellaneous Game Compilations]]
305* ''VideoGame/AmateurSurgeon 4: Regenerations'' contains all surgeries from the previous games (except the ones from ''Christmas Edition'' and the bonus ones from ''Tag-Team Trauma''), with the justification that a clone of Dr. Bleed is viewing Alan's memories.

The former had a Platform/PlayStationPortable release.
308** ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic%27s_Ultimate_Genesis_Collection Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection]]'' (named ''Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection'' in America; a case of SpotlightStealingTitle) on the Xbox 360 and [=PS3=], which contains a whole bunch of games featured in both collections.
309** ''[[http://www.amazon.com/Sega-Genesis-Collection-Gold-Edition-Pc/dp/B004GGO1JA Sega Genesis Collection Gold Edition]]'' including 46 games in one.

It was later updated to include ''Sonic Adventure 2'', ''Jet Set Radio'', and ''VideoGame/NightsIntoDreams''[[labelnote:*]]Despite that ''[=NiGHTS=] into Dreams...'' was never released on the Dreamcast; it was released on the Sega Saturn and later ported to the [=PlayStation=] 2 prior to its HD re-release[[/labelnote]].
311** ''[[https://genesisclassics.sega.com/ Sega Genesis Classics]]'', released for [=PS4=] and [=XBox=] One, containing most of the games previously featured on ''Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection'' and adding some new ones like ''Alien Soldier'', ''Bio-Hazard Battle'', ''Landstalker'', and a few others (though annoyingly, leaving off ''Sonic 3'' and ''Sonic & Knuckles'' despite having the first two games).

313** At the end of the [[Platform/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast's]] life came the ''[[https://segaretro.org/Sega_Smash_Pack_Volume_1 Sega Smash Pack]]'', which featured mostly Genesis games; this one became infamous for being a PortingDisaster. (The name had previously been used for two separate PC-only collections released earlier.)
314* Midway/Williams has a habit of releasing compilation games on many consoles, mainly Platform/PlayStation, typically called ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_Arcade%27s_Greatest_Hits Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits]]'', ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway%27s_Greatest_Arcade_Hits Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits]]'', and ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_Party_Pak Arcade Party Pak]]'', each containing their own library of games.
315** The ''Midway Arcade Treasures'' trilogy (''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Arcade_Treasures 1]]'', ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Arcade_Treasures_2 2]]'', and ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Arcade_Treasures_3 3]]'') on Platform/PlayStation2, Platform/{{Xbox}}, and Platform/NintendoGameCube collected many well-known and obscure UsefulNotes/{{Arcade Game}}s from the Creator/MidwayGames, [[Creator/{{Atari}} Atari Games]] and Williams libraries. This was preceded in the 1990s by the ''Arcade's Greatest Hits'' compilations for various consoles; the ''Atari Collection'' volumes actually included pre-Crash Atari games which Midway otherwise didn't have the rights to.
316*** It should be noted that ''Mortal Kombat'' 1 was absent from this version of ''Midway Arcade Treasures 2'', as it got released as a lesser-known Plug-and-Play device. It eventually got released on two later versions below.
317*** There was a [[Platform/MicrosoftWindows Windows]] release called ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Arcade_Treasures_Deluxe_Edition Deluxe Edition]]'', and a Platform/PlayStationPortable release called ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Arcade_Treasures:_Extended_Play Extended Play]]''. ''Extended Play'' combines some of the games listed for ''Midway Arcade Treasures'' 1 and ''2'', while ''Deluxe Edition'' was essentially almost all of ''2'' and ''3'' in one package, save for ''Mortal Kombat'' 1 replacing ''VideoGame/SpyHunterII''.[[note]]The PC did get the first ''Midway Arcade Treasures'' release, but not the original ''2'' and ''3''.[[/note]]
318** ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Arcade_Origins Midway Arcade Origins]]'' included almost all the games from ''Treasures'' 1 and ''2'', excluding ''Mortal Kombat'' due to its digital release as ''Mortal Kombat Kollection'' for Xbox 360, [=PS3=], and PC.
319* ''Sonic Mega Collection'' on Platform/NintendoGameCube collects Sonic's entire Sega Genesis/Mega Drive library (including all three ''Sonic & Knuckles'' lock-ons) as well as ''VideoGame/{{Sonic 3D Blast}}''[='=]s ancestor ''VideoGame/{{Flicky}}'' and the unrelated classic ''VideoGame/{{Ristar}}''. It also had an UpdatedRerelease in ''Sonic Mega Collection Plus'' for [=PlayStation=] 2, Xbox, and PC which added half of the Platform/GameGear ''Sonic'' titles, ''VideoGame/TheOoze'' and ''VideoGame/ComixZone'' (the latter two were formerly exclusive to the Japanese release of the original [=GameCube=] collection because Sega of America was originally worried about the ESRB rating).
320** Followed by ''Sonic Gems Collection'' on [=GameCube=] and [=PlayStation=] 2 (except North America for the latter), which includes three niche ''Sonic'' games (''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' in its first console port ever, ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'' and ''VideoGame/SonicR'') and the rest of the Game Gear games. The only Genesis/Mega Drive titles happen to be non-''Sonic'' games: the ''VideoGame/{{Vectorman}}'' duology (which was originally unreleased in Japan), the ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'' trilogy and ''VideoGame/BonanzaBros.''[[note]]Though the latter two were unavailable outside of Japan because they were too violent for ''Sonic''... [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog yeah, right]].[[/note]]
321** In an odd mix of this and EmbeddedPrecursor, ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure [[UpdatedRerelease DX: Director's Cut]]'' included Sonic's entire Game Gear library as unlockable games (although the Game Gear games were removed in later rereleases).
322** ''Sonic and Knuckles Collection'' which has ''Sonic 3'', ''Sonic & Knuckles'', and ''Sonic 3 and Knuckles''.
323** ''Sonic Action 4 Pack'' released for the PC contains ''Sonic CD'', ''Sonic R'', ''Sonic and Knuckles Collection'', and ''Sega Smash Pack 2''.
324** Released for PC is the ''Sonic Anniversary PC Pack''[[note]]made to celebrate Sonic's 20th anniversary, also came with a mouse and a mouse pad[[/note]], which included (at the time) the entirety of Sonic's PC collection[[note]]excluding some outliers like ''Sonic R'' and ''Sonic and Knuckles Collection''[[/note]]: ''Sonic Adventure DX'', ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'', ''VideoGame/SonicRiders'' and ''Sonic Mega Collection Plus''.
325* Sega released a large number of compilations of older Genesis/Mega Drive consoles, often as pack-in titles for the European and Brazilian markets, all drawing from a similar pot of early Genesis releases to keep the cartridge ROM sizes down and expose late adopters to early titles. However, only three of these came out in North America: ''6-Pak'' (with ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1'', ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'', ''VideoGame/GoldenAxe'', ''Super Hang-On'', ''VideoGame/{{Columns}}'' and ''VideoGame/TheRevengeOfShinobi''), ''Triple Score 3 Games In 1'' (with ''Columns'' & ''Super Hang-On'' again, plus ''World Championship Soccer''), and ''Sonic Classics'' (with ''Sonic The Hedgehog'' 1 & 2 plus ''VideoGame/DrRobotniksMeanBeanMachine''--known as ''Sonic Compilation'' in Europe). Of these, ''6-Pak'' is arguably the best known, due to it's size and inclusion as an American pack-in title.
326** The Sega CD also recieved a Genesis compilation, ''Sega Classics Arcade Collection'', which was basically ''6-Pak'' with ''Sonic'' & ''Super Hang-On'' traded for ''Super Monaco GP'', and some minor sound enhancements. The Japanese Mega CD had the two-volume ''Game no Kanzume'' compilation of games that were originally released in Japan through Sega's Meganet download service, including all the ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarII'' text adventures.
327* A lot of Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem consoles had ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' and ''VideoGame/DuckHunt'' compiled into a single cartridge. Some copies also include ''World Class Track Meet''. All three of these games already had a standalone release, so seeing these together was pretty cool at the time. Europe would later get a collection of ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'', and ''[[VideoGame/KunioKun Nintendo World Cup]]''.
328* Some compilations don't even bother with a console. Some are standalone devices that run on batteries, package the game system into a controller, and connect to the TV over AV cables directly, and sell under $20US. Midway, Namco, and a few other old-school arcade brands have licensed their old catalogs for this treatment, most of them by the toy company JAKKS Pacific for their "TV Games" line.
329** In a similar vein, Atari has released two Flashback consoles, which each have 20-30 Atari 2600 games built-in to them. Interestingly enough, the Flashback 2 is actually based on the 2600's hardware, and, if you're handy with a soldering iron, it's quite simple to add a cartridge slot to play old 2600 cartridges.
330** Sega have done the same thing with the Megadrive/Genesis- these [=AtGames=] models have a bunch of built in games, and a cartridge slot to play all your old ones.
331** This appears to be a fad among game companies in the late 2010's, with Nintendo pushing out a SNES Mini and NES Mini, and have dropped rumors in regards to a [=N64=] Mini being worked on. Sony, as per usual with their rivalling streak against Nintendo, pushed out a [=PlayStation=] Classic (not ''mini'') to compete; although sales of the device were initially lackluster, it is quickly gaining interest due to how easy it is to hack the console (something Sony probably did on purpose). And Sega, despite already having game compilation consoles thanks to [=AtGames=], put out two mini Genesis consoles because their previous endeavors are all ''full-sized'' casing replicas. Additionally, SNK worked with Tommo to create the much maligned Neo Geo X, and then created the (oft-criticized) Neo Geo Mini. And let's not get started on those officially licensed 1:4 scale arcade cabinets from Numskull Designs...
332* In the late '90s, "the Creator/LucasArts collections", five or more games along with a demo disc for another half a dozen more, arranged in rough genre. For example, volume II was dedicated to ''Franchise/StarWars'' games (and included ''VideoGame/TIEFighter'' and the ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsRebelAssault Rebel Assault]]'' games), while volume III was for adventure games (including the first two ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' games and the aforementioned ''The Dig'' and ''Full Throttle'').
333** The ''[=LucasArts=] Archives'' series of PC/MAC releases (from the 90's) included most of the company's early titles (including ''VideoGame/FullThrottle'', ''VideoGame/ManiacMansion'', ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxHitTheRoad'' and others) and most of their ''Star Wars'' offerings (including ''X-Wing'', ''TIE Fighter'' and ''VideoGame/DarkForces''), not to mention several games which even for a long while since hadn't been rereleased, including the ''Rebel Assault'' series and the ''Star Wars Screen Entertainment'' desktop utility. The games are incompatible with modern operating systems, but can still run on the Scumm virtual console.
334** There have also been a pair of ''Star Wars'' Fan Favorite compilations for PC: the first packs the first two ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront'' games up with ''VideoGame/StarWarsRepublicCommando'', while the second includes ''Star Wars Starfighter'' with ''VideoGame/JediKnightIIJediOutcast'' and ''VideoGame/JediKnightJediAcademy''.
335* The ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Battle Chest'', which includes both the first two ''Diablo'' games and the second game's expansion pack ''Lord of Destruction''. Be aware that some versions of this battle chest does not include the first game, but does have the second with the expansion, plus a strategy guide.
336* Blizzard released Battle Chests for ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' and at least some of the games in the VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} series. There's also the [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition Collector's Edition]] of ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'', which includes ''[=StarCraft=]'' and ''Brood War'' on a USB stick.
337* The ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' series has a compilation release of the [[VideoGame/Hitman2SilentAssassin second]], [[VideoGame/HitmanContracts third]], and [[VideoGame/HitmanBloodMoney fourth]] games. The reasons for [[VideoGame/HitmanCodename47 the first game]] not being included are that it was a PC-only game (while the rest are both PC and console titles) and also that the third game is essentially a remake of the first in the form of an [[WholeEpisodeFlashback extended flashback]] with better graphics and gameplay.
338* The various ''VideoGame/NamcoMuseum'' collections.
339** The most complete versions are arguably the Platform/PlayStation versions. Besides including many classic 1980s arcade games such as ''Pac-Man'', ''Galaga'', ''Dig-Dug'', ''Pole Position'', etc, they also gave titles such as ''VideoGame/TheTowerOfDruaga'', ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfValkyrie'' and ''[[VideoGame/GenpeiToumaden The Genji and the Heike Clans]]'' their first-ever Western releases. You can get the first five volumes as digital downloads on the [=PlayStation Network=].
340** The sixth and final [=PlayStation=] volume, ''Namco Museum Encore'', was a Japan-only release that contained titles such as ''VideoGame/WonderMomo'', ''VideoGame/RollingThunder'', and ''VideoGame/SkyKid''.
341** There had been many different versions. Those to note are the first collection on Platform/PlayStation2, [[Platform/NintendoGameCube GameCube]], and Platform/{{Xbox}} (which included arranged versions of Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, and Galaga, along with Pac-Attack and Pac-Mania), Namco Museum and Pac-Man Collection on Game Boy Advance (essentially the previous version split in two, not including Pole Position 1 and the arranged versions of Dig-Dug and Galaga), Virtual Arcade on [=Xbox 360=] which has most of the classics with an online mode, and ''Battle Collection'' on Platform/PlayStationPortable with the ability to tilt the game screen into the regular arcade resolution (much like flipping a TV on the side for games like Galaga). [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namco_Museum#Namco_Museum_Battle_Collection You may look at the complete list of games and their respective museum games here.]]
342** Namco also released the (Japan-only) ''[=NamCollection=]'' for the [=PS2=] in 2005, a [[MilestoneCelebration 50th anniversary release]] that includes, in release order, ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer'', ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', ''VideoGame/AceCombat2'', ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}: Door to Phantomile'', and ''VideoGame/MrDriller'', all with minor enhancements such as a car in ''Ridge Racer'' that was previously only in the ''Turbo'' remake.
343** In 1998, two Japan-only ''Namco Anthology'' collections were released for the Platform/PlayStation. These two compilations are notable for the fact that, instead of containing titles from Namco's arcade history, they instead draw from their console library (specifically games from the [[Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem Famicom]] and the [[Platform/SegaGenesis Mega Drive]]). They also contain new "Arrange" versions of said titles, which are straight remakes (or in the case of ''Valkyrie no Boken'', a totally different game) that feature remarkable graphical upgrades and various alterations to gameplay.
344* Creator/{{SNK}} Playmore compilations include:
345** ''VideoGame/MetalSlug Anthology'' (Wii, PSP, [=PS2=])
346** ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Anthology''. (Wii, PSP, [=PS2=])
347** ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Anthology''. ([=PS2=])
348** ''VideoGame/FatalFury Battle Archives Volumes 1 & 2''. ([=PS2=])
349** ''SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1'' (Wii, [=PS2=], PSP), a compilation of 16 Platform/NeoGeo titles.
350** ''SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 0'' (PSP) included 20 pre-Neo Geo games from the 1980s. It wasn't released in the U.S. or Europe, but most of the individual titles have been released digitally as PS Minis.
351** ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''
352*** ''The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga'' (Wii, PSP, [=PS2=]) a compilation made specifically for the overseases market (developed by Terminal Reality, who also made ''Metal Slug Anthology'') that bundles all of the KOF games from '94 to '98.
353*** A separately developed compilation was released exclusively in Japan titled ''The King of Fighters: Orochi Hen'' for the [=PS2=] (developed by [=G1M2=], the same company that did the ''Fatal Fury'', ''Art of Fighting'', and ''World Heroes'' compilations), which only includes '95 to '97 (since '94 and '98 were given [[UpdatedRerelease stand-alone remakes]] in Japan). However, some fans actually prefer the Japanese compilation despite having two games less due to the lack of loading times and extra features missing in the overseas version such as a character palette editor, online matchmaking support, and the choice to play each game with the remixed music from the Neo-Geo CD versions (the overseas version only allows players to use the standard chiptune soundtrack).
354*** This was followed by ''The King of Fighters: NESTS Hen'', which includes the Neo-Geo and Dreamcast versions of '99, 2000, and 2001. [[NoExportForYou It was also exclusive to Japan.]]
355** ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes Anthology''. ([=PS2=])
356** ''Creator/{{SunSoft}} Collection'', a Japan-only compilation that contains ''VideoGame/WakuWaku7'' and ''Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors''. ([=PS2=])
357** ''Creator/{{ADK}} Tamashii'', another Japan-only compilation that includes ''VideoGame/AggressorsOfDarkKombat'', ''Ninja Combat'', ''Ninja Commando'', ''VideoGame/NinjaMastersHaoNinpoCho'', and ''VideoGame/TwinkleStarSprites''. ([=PS2=])
358** ''[[VideoGame/FuunSeries Fu'un]] Super Combo'', yet another Japan-only compilation that contains ''Savage Reign'' and ''Kizuna Encounter''. ([=PS2=])
359** ''Bakumatsu Roman Gekka No Kenshi 1 + 2'', another Japan-only compilation of ''VideoGame/TheLastBlade'' and its sequel. ([=PS2=])
360** ''[[VideoGame/SengokuSNK Sengoku]] Anthology'' ([=PS2=] and PC). In addition, SNK Playmore released two boxsets that contained most of these compilations. Again, only in Japan.
361** ''SNK 40th Anniversary Collection'' (Switch, [=PS4=], Xbox One), a collection of SNK's pre-Neo-Geo games, including ''Athena'' and its sequel ''Psycho Soldier'', ''Blast Bros'', the NES action-RPG ''Crystalis'', ''[=Fantasy=]'', ''Guerilla War'', ''VideoGame/IkariWarriors'' and its two sequels, ''Iron Tank'', ''Munch Mobile'', ''Ozma Wars'', ''Paddle Mania'', ''[=P.O.W.: Prisoner of War=]'', ''Prehistoric Isle'', ''[=SAR: Search And Rescue=]'', ''Sasuke vs. Commander'', ''Street Smart'', ''Time Soldiers'', ''TNK III'', popular early 1980s arcade shooter ''Vanguard'', and ''[=World Wars=]''. It also includes the NES ports of several of the arcade games.
362* Creator/{{Capcom}} had release quite a few compilations since the [=PlayStation=]/Saturn days.
363** Five volumes of the ''Capcom Generation'' series for the PS and Saturn, which covers series such as ''VideoGame/{{Ghosts n Goblins}}'', ''VideoGame/NineteenFortyTwo'', and ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII''. The first four volumes were released as a bundle in Europe ([[BadExportForYou the first three in the German version]]) titled ''Capcom Generations'', but only Vol. 5 (aka ''Street Fighter Collection 2'') got a stand-alone release in America and Europe.
364** The 16 games in the ''Capcom Generation'' series were later rereleased again in a new compilation titled ''Capcom Classics Collection'' for the [=PS2=] and Xbox, which also included other games such as ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' and ''Forgotten Worlds''. This was followed by ''Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2'', which included ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' (skipping the original ''Super Street Fighter II'') and ''VideoGame/StriderArcade'', plus a ton of other games.
365** There was also ''Capcom Classics Collection: Remixed'' and ''Reloaded'', which more or less contain the same lineup of games as its console counterpart (missing only ''Trojan'' and ''Super Turbo''), as well as ''Capcom Classics Mini-Mix'' for the GBA, which includes the NES versions of ''Manga/{{Strider}}'', ''Final Fight'', and ''VideoGame/BionicCommando''.
366** There is also the ''[[http://capcom.wikia.com/wiki/Capcom_Arcade_Cabinet Capcom Arcade Cabinet]]'' on Platform/PlayStation3 and Platform/{{Xbox 360}}. It comes with a free copy of ''Black Tiger'', with the rest of the lineup requiring to be purchased.
367** The ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capcom_Digital_Collection Capcom Digital Collection]]'' on Xbox 360, which has 9 games you could download off of Platform/XboxLiveArcade, all on a physical release. This includes ''Magic Sword'', which was packaged with ''Double Impact'', and the DLC for ''Rocketmen''.
368** ''Capcom Essentials'' for [=PS3=] and Xbox 360, which includes five games: ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'', ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'', ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'', and the digital code for ''VideoGame/MegaMan10''.
369** The ''Mega Man Legacy Collection'' for the Platform/XboxOne, Platform/PlayStation4, Platform/Nintendo3DS, and PC compiles the six NES ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' games, with the addition of a Challenge Mode, Museum Mode, online leaderboards and video replays. The [=3DS=] version of the collection also includes additional Challenge Mode levels which are unlocked with the Mega Man {{Toys/amiibo}}. It's since been followed by a second collection, bundling the post-NES games in the series[[note]]at the time; they predate ''VideoGame/MegaMan11''[[/note]], another two-part ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' collection with four games in each, a combined ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZX ZX]]'' collection, and a ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' collection.
370** The ''Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle'', featuring the following games: ''VideoGame/FinalFight'', ''VideoGame/CaptainCommando'', ''VideoGame/TheKingOfDragons'', ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheRound'', ''VideoGame/WarriorsOfFate'', ''VideoGame/ArmoredWarriors'' and ''VideoGame/BattleCircuit''.
371* ''Platform/XboxLiveArcade Unplugged'' is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a collection of games from the Xbox 360's Arcade library]]. There were two volumes so far.
372* ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taito_Legends Taito Legends]]'' 1 and 2 compile a bunch of Creator/{{Taito}} arcade games, released on [=PS2=], Xbox, and PC. There is also a [=PSP=] version, titled [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taito_Legends_Power-Up Taito Legends Power-Up]].
373** There was also a [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] series called ''Taito Memories'', four releases in total that contained all but five of the games that ''Legends'' did, plus about 30 or so more. There is a discussion of the differences and a complete list of games [[http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156427 here]].
374* The ''VideoGame/{{Journey|2012}}'' Collector's Edition, released August 28, 2012, includes thatgamecompany's three titles released during their tenture with Creator/{{Sony}}: ''Journey'', ''[=flOw=]'', and ''VideoGame/{{Flower}}''. The compilation contains documentaries, artwork, commentaries, screenshots, et al. Also has three [[{{Minigame}} "Game Jams"]]: the {{Retraux}} SurvivalHorror ''Gravediggers'', the crudely designed ''Duke War!'', and the {{Animesque}} ActionGame ''Nostril Shot''.
375* ''Activision Anthology'' on the [=PS2=] and PC gathers nearly all of Creator/{{Activision}}'s Platform/{{Atari 2600}} library. It also goes the extra mile in putting you in TheEighties with its 1980s gamer's room interface and licensed songs from the era playing in the background during gameplay if you want to. The PC version even includes some homebrew games in the list.
376* After the smash success of ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' in 2008, Interplay re-released ''VideoGame/Fallout1'', ''VideoGame/Fallout2'', and ''VideoGame/{{Fallout Tactics|BrotherhoodOfSteel}}'', optimized for modern operating systems and fully patched. What did they call this bundle? The Fallout Trilogy. Never mind that each of these games have totally independent plots. And that there was another game in the series not included. And that one of the games in the "Trilogy" is a GaidenGame. Bethesda later released their own compilation, titled the ''Fallout Anthology'' (See also their ''Elder Scrolls Anthology'' above), to promote the then-upcoming ''VideoGame/Fallout4''. The container is actually a roughly 1:1 scale replica of a Mini-Nuke from the series. Unscrewing the top reveals the discs[[note]]Not that you actually ''need'' them if you bought it new, as the set also comes with a Steam activation code[[/note]] for the aforementioned ''Fallout'', ''Fallout 2'', ''Fallout Tactics'', and ''Fallout 3'', as well as ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' and all of ''3'' and ''New Vegas''' additional DownloadableContent. And of course, there was also an empty slot for ''Fallout 4''.
377* ''Rare Replay'' for the Platform/XboxOne, released as a celebration for Creator/{{Rare}}'s 30th anniversary, contains 30 Rare games, from their first game, ''VideoGame/{{Jetpac}}'', up to ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooieNutsAndBolts''. Though a few of their more notable ones, such as the entire ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' trilogy, ''VideoGame/{{GoldenEye|1997}}'', and ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'', are absent from the compilation due to licensing issues (especially the ''Donkey Kong'' and ''Star Fox'' games, due to being owned by Nintendo, one of Microsoft's chief rivals in the console market), and ''VideoGame/KinectSports'' and ''Kinect Sports Season 2'' were left out due to technical issues with Platform/XboxOne's Kinect software. In addition to the 30 games, it also includes milestones for each of them and special challenges known as Snapshots for many of them. There are also both in-game cheats and a rewind feature for the Platform/ZXSpectrum, Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, and arcade games to make them easier. It even optimized many games and fixed some glitches, including ''[[VideoGame/{{Battletoads}} Battletoads’]]'' infamous co-op glitch in “Clinger Swinger”.
378* Creator/HumongousEntertainment did a LOT of these. Let's see, there's the Humongous Classics Collection, Super Duper Arcades 1 and 2, the Junior Field Trips Collection, the Triple Treat Packs, VideoGame/BackyardSports Three pack, the three double packs for VideoGame/PuttPutt, VideoGame/FreddiFish, and VideoGame/PajamaSam...do we need to go on any further?
379* Famicom and NES pirated carts did it very often, having 2 to 50 games per cartridge, [[CoversAlwaysLie though some tend to have a number far higher than the actual amount, most infamously, the 9999999-In-1 cartridges]]. ''VideoGame/Action52'' wasn't one of these, though it was inspired by them.
380* Subverted with ''VideoGame/RetroGameChallenge'', where none of the games you play actually exist [[ShowWithinAShow outside of the game itself]].
381* The ''Sega Ages 2500'' line, though originally focused around {{Video Game Remake}}s, ended up with a lot of compilations, including (but not limited to) ''VideoGame/SpaceHarrier Collection'', ''VideoGame/GunstarHeroes Creator/{{Treasure}} Box'' (with ''VideoGame/AlienSoldier'' and ''VideoGame/DynamiteHeaddy''), ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}} Collection'', ''[[VideoGame/WonderBoy Monster World]] Collection'', and ''VideoGame/FantasyZone Complete Collection''. These include lots of alternate versions, such as the rare Brazilian Platform/SegaMasterSystem port of ''VideoGame/DynamiteHeaddy'', previously unreleased Platform/MegaDrive versions of ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' derivatives, and a completely original 16-bit remake of ''Fantasy Zone II''.
382* ''VideoGame/WingCommander'':
383** ''VideoGame/WingCommanderTheKilrathiSaga'' was composed of the first three games, re-released for Windows 95, with remastered audio and music. For the first two games, it was the only way to play the games on modern computers (aside from the MS-DOS issue, the original games played ''ridiculously'' fast on a Pentium computer).
384** ''Prophecy'' and ''Secret Ops'' were released in the compilation ''Prophecy Gold'', with an expanded, combined manual for both instead of just putting the two manuals (one of them originally electronic). However, they did ''not'' include the fiction from the ''Secret Ops'' site, due to copyright concerns from EA's German branch.
385** The Amiga [=CD32=] had a pack-in CD that bundled ''Dangerous Streets'' with an enhanced version of ''VideoGame/WingCommander''.
386* Since Infogrames bought (and then became) Creator/{{Atari}}, they've released many compilations of arcade and Platform/{{Atari 2600}} games, largely featuring the same games. The first were two PC collections of six arcade games called ''Atari Greatest Hits'' released when Atari was still the intellectual property of Hasbro. When Infogrames bought the company, they packaged the 12 games into one compilation called ''Atari Anniversary Edition'' for the PC, [=PS2=], Dreamcast and Game Boy Advance. Then, several years later, Infogrames/Atari released a compilation for the PC, [=PS2=] and [=XBox=] called ''Atari Anthology'' which featured 18 arcade games and 62 Atari 2600 games. Finally, in 2010, Atari released the two-part ''Atari Greatest Hits'' series for the DS, which splits the contents of ''Atari Anthology'' into [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo two different DS compilations]] (one came out in 2010, the other in 2011) with 9 arcade and 30-something 2600 games on each (some of the 2600 games are exclusive to the DS games, but the 18 arcade games are the same ones that are on ''Atari Anthology'').
387* ''VideoGame/ShiningForce CD'' for the Sega CD was a compilation of the two ''Shining Force Gaiden'' games for the Game Gear.
388* Creator/{{Konami}}:
389** There were several collections of their {{Platform/MSX}} games on [=MSX2=] disks and later on the Platform/PlayStation and Platform/SegaSaturn.
390** Collections of their classic 1980s UsefulNotes/{{Arcade Game}}s have appeared on the Platform/PlayStation, Platform/GameBoyAdvance, and Platform/NintendoDS.
391** The Konami GB Collection Platform/GameBoy games (with 4 volumes), which compiled some of their Game Boy releases ([[SuperTitle64Advance like the title would suggest]]). The Japanese version was for the Game Boy, and the European version was for the Platform/GameBoyColor. [[NoExportForYou Unfortunately, they were never released outside of Japan and Europe]].
392** There is also a PC collection of the NES ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' games.
393** ''Konami Classics'' had two volumes released on the Xbox 360. One had ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'', ''Super Contra'', and ''Frogger''. Two had ''Contra'', ''Rush N' Attack'', and ''Track and Field''.
394** '' Contra Anniversary Collection'' contains the arcade and nes versions of ''Contra'' and ''Super C'', ''Contra III: The Ailen Wars'', ''Operation C'', and ''Contra: Hard Corps''. It also includes the Japanese versions of the games and both ''Super Probotector: Alien Rebels'' and ''Probotector'', the European versions of Contra 3 and Hard Corps respectively.
395** ''Castlevania Anniversary Collection'' contains all three NES games, ''Super Castlevania IV'', ''Bloodlines'', the two Game Boy games and ''Kid Dracula'' translated in English for the first time. The Japanese version of all the games are included as well.
396** ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles: The Cowabunga Collection'' consists of all of Konami's licensed ''TMNT'' console and arcade games from the 90s. It consists of ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheArcadeGame'' (Arcade and NES versions), ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTurtlesInTime'' (Arcade, SNES, and ''Hyperstone Heist'' for Genesis), ''VideoGame/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1989}}'' for NES, ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheManhattanProject'', ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters'' (NES, SNES, and Genesis), and the three Game Boy games ''Fall of the Foot Clan'', ''Back from the Sewers'', and ''Radical Rescue''. The Japanese versions are also included as well. It also comes with a bunch of built-in enhancements, such as the Genesis version of ''Tournament Fighters'' [[PromotedToPlayable promoting the boss characters into normal playability.]] (Beforehand, such feature is only available for those who hack the game)
397* ''[[VideoGame/DigimonAdventureAnodeCathodeTamer Digimon Anode/Cathode Tamer: Veedramon Version]]'', a Platform/WonderSwan Color title compiling [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo two near-identical]] ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' games (''Anime/DigimonAdventure Anode Tamer'' and ''Anime/DigimonAdventure Cathode Tamer''), giving them a colour facelift and an English translation in the process.
398* ''Creator/DataEast Arcade Classics'' on the Wii.
399* The Platform/Xbox360 has a compilation of ''VideoGame/PlantsVSZombies'', ''Peggle'', and ''Zuma''.
400* ''Microsoft Arcade'', released for the IBM PC and Platform/AppleMacintosh in 1993, was a compilation of golden age Creator/{{Atari}} games. Microsoft later released ''Return of Arcade'' and ''Revenge of Arcade'' for Windows 95; both were compilations of old Namco games.
401** Also from Microsoft, [[http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/microsoft-solitaire-collection/1a36fd17-5161-4651-ae2d-13384e427ea8 Microsoft Solitare Collection]] and [[http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/microsoft-minesweeper/45ac18d7-e742-494f-a1b1-009aa412a179 Microsoft Minesweeper]], both for Windows 8. Made to replace ''Solitare'', ''Freecell'', ''Spider Solitare'', and ''Minesweeper'', which were removed from Windows 8. Both games have Xbox Live Support, Solitare collection adds "Tripeaks" and "Pyramid" in addition to the other three, and Minesweeper adds an "Adventure Mode".
402* The ''Hudson Best Collection'' series on the Platform/GameBoyAdvance repackaged much of Creator/HudsonSoft's Famicom releases in portable form. ''VideoGame/BomberMan'', ''VideoGame/LodeRunner'' and ''VideoGame/AdventureIsland'' each get a volume of their own, as does the aforementioned shooting collection; the remaining volumes are filled out with ''Challenger'', ''VideoGame/MilonsSecretCastle'', ''VideoGame/NutsAndMilk'', ''Binary Land'' and ''VideoGame/PrincessTomatoInTheSaladKingdom''.
403** The ''Platform/PCEngine Best Collection'' series for the PSP compiled games from the ''VideoGame/TengaiMakyou'', ''VideoGame/GalaxyFrauleinYuna'', and ''VideoGame/StarSoldier'' series, plus the rare Arcade Card games ''Kabuki Ittou Ryoudan'' and ''Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire''.
404* ''Irem Arcade Hits'' for the PC compiled together many Creator/{{Irem}} games excluding ''VideoGame/RType'' (though it did include ''R-Type Leo'').
405** Earlier, two single-disc collections were released in Japan for the Platform/PlayStation and Platform/SegaSaturn: ''Irem Arcade Classics'' (''10-Yard Fight'', ''Zippy Race'' and ''[[VideoGame/KungFuMaster Spartan X]]'') and ''Image Fight & X-Multiply'' (ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin).
406* ''Arcade Smash Hits'' for the Platform/SegaMasterSystem had ''VideoGame/MissileCommand'', ''VideoGame/{{Breakout}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Centipede}}''.
407* ''Ultimate Play the Game: The Collected Works'' for the Platform/ZXSpectrum compiled 11 games by Creator/{{Rare}}'s predecessor company onto two cassette tapes or floppy disks. Three of these games (''Jetpac'', ''Lunar Jetman'' and ''Alien 8'') were also compiled for the Platform/BBCMicro under the bizarre title ''Cosmic Battlezones''.
408* The [[Platform/TurboGrafx16 Turbo Duo]] was released with a pack-in compilation of ''Gates of Thunder'', ''VideoGame/{{Bonk}}'s Adventure'', and ''Bonk's Revenge'' on a single Super CD, with ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' as a hidden extra.
409* The ''Intellivision Lives!'' compilations for the PC, Macintosh, Platform/PlayStation, Platform/{{Xbox}}, Platform/PlayStation2, Platform/NintendoGameCube, and Platform/NintendoDS have emulated versions of most of the Platform/{{Intellivision}}'s first-party releases, plus a few bonus games that were never released for the actual system. There was also the ''Intellivision Rocks!'' compilation, mostly featuring games developed for the system by Activision and Imagic, and again including a few previously unreleased games. The ''Triple Challenge'' cartridge released for the Intellivision consisted entirely of previously-released board games; Mattel Electronics, before they went under, had similar [[http://www.intellivisionlives.com/bluesky/games/credits/1984.html#albums plans to bundle their older games into "album" cartridges]].
410* ''Sega Ages Volume 1'', a US-only release for the Platform/SegaSaturn, crammed onto one disc {{Arcade Perfect Port}}s of ''VideoGame/OutRun'', ''VideoGame/SpaceHarrier'' and ''VideoGame/AfterBurner II'' which had been released separately in Japan. A similar collection (including ''Super Hang-On'') was later released for the Platform/GameBoyAdvance.
411* ''Creator/{{Tecmo}} Classic Arcade'' for the Platform/{{Xbox}} featured 11 of their old arcade games. 7 of these were released the year before for the Platform/PlayStation2 as ''Tecmo Hit Parade''.
412* ''VideoGame/KunioKun Nekketsu Collection'', another Japan-only compilation of Famicom games for the Platform/GameBoyAdvance, with two on each of three volumes.
413* Factor 5 meant to release a compilation of the three ''VideoGame/RogueSquadron'' games for the Wii, but (due largely to ''VideoGame/{{Lair}}'' flopping) they went bankrupt before that could happen.
414* Ocean Software released an enormous number of compilations of various games for the Platform/AmstradCPC, Platform/ZXSpectrum, Platform/{{Commodore 64}}, Platform/AtariST and Platform/{{Amiga}}. Titles of these compilations included ''100% Dynamite'', ''2 Hot 2 Handle'', ''The Biz'', ''Chartbusters'', ''Dark Force'', ''The Dream Team'', ''The In Crowd'', ''Light Force'', ''The Magnificent Seven'', ''Power Up'', ''Precious Metal'', ''Special Action'', ''Super Fighter'', ''They Sold a Million'' (and its NumberedSequels) and ''We Are the Champions''. Some of these compilations were loosely themed: ''Hollywood Collection'' and ''Screen Heroes'' featured games based on movies and TV shows, while ''Battle Stations'', ''Conflict Command'' and ''Live Ammo'' had militaristic games. Ocean was also responsible for the special pack-in compilation tapes and disks for Platform/AmstradCPC and Platform/ZXSpectrum models sold at Dixons.
415* ''Kessakusen! Ganbare Goemon 1+2'' for the Platform/GameBoyAdvance was a compilation of the first two Platform/SuperFamicom ''VideoGame/GanbareGoemon'' games.
416* ''Franchise/MassEffect Trilogy'', which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, but this also marks the first time that the first game will be playable upon the Platform/PlayStation3, either within the compilation or as a separate download.
417** On May 14, 2021, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition was released. This compilation contains all three games and their respective [=DLC=] [[note]]But not everything as Mass Effect 3's multiplayer was removed and Mass Effect 1's Pinnacle Station [=DLC=] was missing because the coding was corrupted[[/note]]. All the games were remastered with updated textures and ran on higher frames. The first Mass Effect got the most attention as the combat system was updated to follow the sequels and included auto saving.
418* [[UpdatedRerelease High-definition upscaling]] compilations of Platform/PlayStation2 games for the Platform/PlayStation3 (and later Platform/PlayStation4) are so rampant, Website/TheOtherWiki [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_remasters_for_PlayStation_consoles actually has an article on those.]] Franchises which have been given this treatment include, but are by no means limited to, ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'', ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'', ''Franchise/SilentHill'', ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' and ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry''.
419** The originator of them all is the ''VideoGame/GodOfWar Collection'', an UpdatedRerelease of the first two games in a Blu-Ray compilation disc, with full Trophy support and anti-aliased 720p visuals running at a constant 60 frames per second to tithe players over until the release of ''God of War III''. Little did Sony know it'd take off beyond their wildest dreams... There's also a [=PS3=] rerelease of the two PSP titles (Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta), titled God of ''War Origins Collection''. There was also a collection that combined '''both''' collections, AND ''God of War III'', titled ''God of War Sagas'' (although the Origins part is a digital download).
420** ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders HD Collection'' which has all games of the series (save for the GBA one) on one disc, plus [[PreviewPiggybacking a demo for]] ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', just like how the first ZOE had an [=MGS2=] demo.
421** ''The Franchise/RatchetAndClank Collection'', which contains the first three [=PS2=] ''Ratchet & Clank'' titles. Also supports HDMI and has trophies for all three games, as well as Platform/PlaystationNetwork use of the online multiplayer for ''Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal''.
422* The ''VideoGame/{{X}}-Superbox'' combines this with a LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition. In addition to combining the first five (six after ''X3: Albion Prelude'' came out) ''X'' games into one package, it adds an encyclopedia, hours of music, wallpapers, {{Game Mod}}s, and various other goodies.
423* Website/GOGDotCom does this quite frequently with its retro releases, combining (for instance) the first three ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' games into one package, the next three into another, ''VideoGame/UltimaVII'' and its ExpansionPack into a third, and the ''VideoGame/UltimaUnderworld'' duology into yet a fourth.
424* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins -- Ultimate Edition'' is composed of ''DA:O'', ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening Awakening]]'', and every DownloadableContent package.
425* ''Creator/TomClancy's Counter Terrorism Classics'' packages together ''VideoGame/RainbowSix'', its sequel ''Rogue Spear'', and the video game adaptation of ''Literature/TheSumOfAllFears''.
426** The "Rainbow Six Collection" on Platform/{{Steam}} includes ''Rainbow Six 3'', ''Lockdown'', and the two ''Vegas'' spinoffs.
427* Creator/QEntertainment compiled their games ''VideoGame/EveryExtend Extra Extreme'', ''VideoGame/{{Lumines}} Live'' and ''VideoGame/{{Rez}} HD'' for the Platform/{{Xbox 360}} under the title ''Qubed''.
428* The Platform/SegaMasterSystem game ''Astro Warrior'' was compiled on a cartridge with ''Hang On'' in North America, and in Europe with ''Pit Pot'' (a game only released separately in Japan). ''Hang-On'' and ''Safari Hunt'' (a LightGunGame only available on this and another compilation) were combined in the U.S. Master System pack-in cartridge and were built-in games in one version of the console.
429* The ''VideoGame/{{Dizzy}}'' compilations released for various systems include:
430** ''Dizzy Collection'' for the Platform/{{Amiga}} had ''Magicland Dizzy'', ''Fast Food'', ''[=KwikSnax!=]'', ''Treasure Island Dizzy'' and ''Fantasy World Dizzy''.
431** ''The Big Six'' for the Amiga [=CD32=] had ''Crystal Kingdom Dizzy'', ''Fantastic Dizzy'', ''Magicland Dizzy'', ''Spellbound Dizzy'', ''Treasure Island Dizzy'' and ''Prince of the Yolkfolk''.
432** ''The Excellent Dizzy Collection'' for the Platform/SegaMasterSystem and Platform/GameGear included ''Dizzy! The Adventurer'' (an enhanced version of ''Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk''), ''Panic! Dizzy'' (essentially ''Dizzy Panic!'' under a new title) and ''Go! Dizzy Go!''.
433* The ''[[VideoGame/{{Genocide}} Genocide^2: Genocide Sqaure]]'' compilation for Platform/FMTowns includes the first and second games of the ''Genocide'' series with the addition new cutscenes, an arranged soundtrack, re-balances the difficulty of the first game and removes your Betty's cooldown meter in the second game.
434* Arguably, ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' on the [[Platform/NintendoGameCube GameCube]] could be considered this as it has a list of NES games you could unlock through a variety of methods. Nowadays, while some can still be unlocked, you may need a hacking device, like a Code Breaker or Action Replay, in order to access all of them. [[http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/NES_Games You may see the list here.]]
435* The ''Children's Miracle Network'' compilation included three full games on Platform/{{Xbox 360}}: ''Viva Pinata: Party Animals'', ''Shrek the Third'', and ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006''.
436* The ''Atari Vault'' contains 100 classic Creator/{{Atari}} titles from TheSeventies and TheEighties, which includes arcade releases and Platform/Atari2600 releases, and includes such classics as ''VideoGame/{{Asteroids}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Centipede}}'', ''VideoGame/MissileCommand'' and even ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'', which help revolutionize the history of video gaming. In addition, online multiplayer and leaderboards have been added (so yes, you can play ''Pong'' online), along with 3D recreations of the original box arts and cabinets.
437* The ''VideoGame/GameAndWatch'' series of handhelds got re-released in a series of compilation games for the Game Boy known as the ''VideoGame/GameAndWatchGallery'' series. In this series, the games can be played in either "Classic" style, where the games appear [[{{Retraux}} as they did on the original handheld]], and "Modern" style, which uses a new art style utilizing the characters from the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series.
438* ''Fantasy Five'' for the Platform/{{Commodore 64}} includes ''VideoGame/DancingMonster'', ''VideoGame/BuffaloRoundup'', ''VideoGame/SaveMeBraveKnight'', ''VideoGame/PhotonReflection'', and ''VideoGame/SpatialBilliards''.
439* The ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy Collection'' released through Platform/{{Steam}} in May 2022 is a compilation of various main series and spin-off games that had originally depended on the now-retired UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash, including turn-based battlers ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy1'' and ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy2'', ShootEmUp ''VideoGame/BulletHeaven'', reflex tester ''VideoGame/BrawlRoyale'', and dress-up game ''Mecha Dress Up''.
440* British publisher Beau Jolly specialised in licensing games from other companies to release as compilations, such as ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} II'' plus ''VideoGame/{{Command And Conquer|TiberianDawn}} Gold''.
441* ''VideoGame/TheElephantCollection'' is a compilation of all of the blue elephant games created by Creator/{{jmtb02}} (With the exception of ''LOOT: The Game'', which [[WordOfGod jmtb02 admits he just forgot about]]), now with updated resolutions, uncompressed resources, and an overarching story connecting it all together.

444!!Non-Video Game Examples
445[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
446* WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies:
447** ''WesternAnimation/SupermanShazamTheReturnOfBlackAdam'' also came with extended versions of the ''DC Showcase'' shorts before it: ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseTheSpectre'' (included with ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths''), ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseJonahHex'' (included with ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood''), and ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseGreenArrow'' (included with ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanApocalypse'').
448** Likewise, ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseBatmanDeathInTheFamily'' came with ''DC Showcase: Sgt. Rock'', ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseDeath'' (included with ''WesternAnimation/WonderWomanBloodlines''), ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseThePhantomStranger'' (included with ''WesternAnimation/SupermanRedSon''), and ''WesternAnimation/DCShowcaseAdamStrange'' (included with ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar'').
449[[/folder]]
450
451[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
452* ''Film/{{Unbreakable}}'', ''Film/{{Split}}'' and ''Film/Glass2019'' were rereleased in a single Blu-ray box and titled "Eastrail 177 Trilogy" (an {{ascended|fanon}} FanNickname).
453* Ever since the release of the second film, ''Film/SawII'', there have been a number of increasingly large DVD/Blu-ray compilations of multiple films in the ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' series, starting with a two-movie pack including the first two films and culminating with a box set containing all the nine films up to ''Film/Spiral2021''.
454[[/folder]]
455
456[[folder:Literature]]
457* ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' is usually published in the same volume with its sequel, ''Through the Looking-Glass''.
458* ''Literature/LifesLittleInstructionBook'' was originally released in three volumes throughout TheNineties, and a later-in-the-decade release bundled them all into one book, ''The Complete Life's Little Instruction Book''.
459[[/folder]]
460
461[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
462* When both Creator/DerrenBrown's ''Series/{{Apocalypse}}'' and ''Series/FearAndFaith'' were released onto Creator/{{Netflix}}, both specials are packaged into a single series called ''Apocalypse and Fear''.
463[[/folder]]
464
465[[folder:Music]]
466* This has been done many times with Music/TheBeatles' catalog, starting even before the band broke up, with the 1969 album ''Hey Jude'' which was a compilation of singles releases. The 1970s saw the release of two compilation albums, ''The Beatles: 1962-1966'' and ''The Beatles: 1967-1970'', which were compilations of both singles and album tracks. ''Music/PastMasters'', a grab-bag compilation of everything the band ever officially released that did not appear on their studio albums (famous hit singles like "Hey Jude" and "I Feel Fine", but also all the {{BSide}}s and oddities like the German-language versions of "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand"), was released in the 1980s.
467* Music/YuuheiSatellite has released several 3-in-1 albums that contain every song from three previously released albums, in addition to a new one.
468* Exaggerated by Music/YellowZebra, whose ''Yellow Zebra Finale Box'' is a massive 11-disc compilation box containing almost all of their old songs (as well as six new ones). On top of that, it also contains a DVD featuring [=MP3=] versions of almost every Yellow Zebra release ever -- including most limited bonus [=CDs=]!
469* Also exaggerated by Music/RNote, Yellow Zebra's successor circle, which released a DVD containing the ''twenty-nine'' albums they'd released between 2012 and 2018.
470* Music/AkatsukiRecords likes to release event-limited singles, and later put all their tracks on compilation [=CDs=].
471* [[Music/ShinRaBansho ShinRa-Bansho]]'s ''Synchro'' albums feature all the tracks from various event-limited singles.
472* Around the 2000s, it became common for record labels to issue {{boxed set}}s containing multiple albums by the same artist, usually either the standard releases in a single slipcase or a collection of mini-LP replicas. Often these were either an artist's most popular albums or ones that were related somehow (e.g. ''Music/KidA'' and ''Music/{{Amnesiac}}'' by Music/{{Radiohead}}, which were DividedForPublication).
473* CD reissues of Music/SimpleMinds' ''Sons and Fascination'' consistently combine it on one disc with its companion album, ''Sister Feelings Call'', since the two were meant to be a double album at first before being DividedForPublication. This configuration, appropriately titled ''Sons and Fascination/Sister Feelings Call'', is considered the canonical one.
474* Music/PinkFloyd released a double album titled ''A Nice Pair'' in 1973 containing their first two albums: ''Music/ThePiperAtTheGatesOfDawn'' and ''Music/ASaucerfulOfSecrets''.
475* When Compact Cassettes became a rival to [=LPs=] at the turn of the 80's, labels began releasing tapes that had an album on each side. The later emergence of [=CDs=] and their similarly lengthy capacity only ramped up the practice, with either two albums on one disc or two standalone releases packaged together. Similar double albums had already been released in the LP era. Less common are CD compilations containing an album and an EP.
476* Music/YellowMagicOrchestra's [[Music/YellowMagicOrchestraAlbum 1978 debut album]] and their 1983 megahit ''Music/NaughtyBoys'' both came in two separate versions back in the day: the former had different mixes for the Japanese and American markets, while the latter had a vocal version and an instrumental version. The 2003 remasters package the two versions of each album together as double-CD releases, with this configuration becoming standard across formats until the 2019 remasters (which re-separated the two mixes of the debut album, though ''Naughty Boys'' and ''Naughty Boys Instrumental'' remain together outside digital releases).
477* Sometimes, at the end of an album series, Music/{{BTS}} will release a compilation album of songs of said album series with additional new songs, functioning both as a retelling and a conclusion of the series' story. Examples are ''The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever'' (compiling almost all songs of parts 1 and 2 of ''The Most Beautiful Moment in Life'' with some remixes and extended versions, plus new songs "Fire", "Save Me" and "Epilogue: Young Forever") and ''LOVE YOURSELF: Answer'' (compiling most songs of ''LOVE YOURSELF: Her'' and ''Tear'', plus new songs that help retell and conclude the ''LOVE YOURSELF'' story in a restructured tracklist).
478** For a more traditional example, ''BTS: THE BEST'' compiles most of their Japanese songs.
479* ''Daft'' by Music/ArtOfNoise brings together almost all of the group's released material from the Trevor Horn era, including the ''Into Battle with the Art of Noise'' EP, the ''Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise?'' studio album, and the "Moments in Love" remix single.
480* Music/MissionOfBurma released a [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled]] compilation in 1988 collecting the "Academy Fight Song" single, the ''Signals, Calls, and Marches'' EP, the ''Vs.'' studio album, the "Trem Two" single, the live album ''The Horrible Truth About Burma'', and a few previously-unreleased tracks all on one CD, thus acting as a comprehensive overview of the band's brief career up to that point.

482
483[[folder:Music -- Video Game Soundtracks]]
484* The soundtracks to all three ''VideoGame/RaySeries'' games were all released individually and later as part of ''Ray'z PREMIUM BOX -BEYOND-''.
485* Some official releases to a game's soundtrack arrange the tracks in the form of a compilation where they crossfade into each other if you listen to them in order.
486** This appears to be part of Matt Uelmen or Creator/RunicGames' style as both the official soundtrack albums to ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' and its SpiritualSuccessor, ''VideoGame/TorchlightII'' are arranged as a compilation of individual tracks that transition into each other.
487** The official soundtrack to ''VideoGame/NitronicRush'' from "Abandoned Utopia" to "End to a Violent Heart" is also arranged as a compilation and applies portions of a song's VariableMix throughout with the exception of the {{Overheating}} klaxon and the high-pass filter used in tunnels.
