* CashCowFranchise: Vision Home Entertainment really wanted this to become one, but sadly couldn't. No, it wasn't due to lawsuits(see below).
* CreatorsOddball: These compilation discs are the only games this company has released, & in fact the only things they released in the United States. Just let that sink in for a moment...
* CutSong: Volume 1 would've had a different tune for the game selection screen, but it was according to one of the programmers, "so bad that it was a disgrace that it even exists".
* ExecutiveMeddling: Executives decided to make them bump the number of games up to 40 after Volume 2 was released.
* FollowTheLeader: This was made to cash in on multicarts that were filled with games on them, only this time on the PS1 using a custom-made DOS emulator. They even blatantly steal backgrounds from several ones on PCs.
* KillerApp: Or at least Vision wanted it to be one, but it ultimately never became one.
* NoExportForYou: Despite these compilations being developed in the Philippines by Filipino company Starchaser Entertainment, & being published by Indonesian company Vision Home Entertainment, they only saw releases in the United States.
* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: Octolris, the last game on Volume 2 was given by a fan who's name they sadly don't remember.
* OldShame: Vision Home Entertainment's website no longer mentions these compilation discs due to them simply having no interest in re-releasing them. Starchaser Entertainment has a bigger case of this. Not only do they not mention it on their site, but they absolutely they said to never do something like that ever again as that's the kind of stuff they hate.
* PopCultureUrbanLegends: People believe that it didn't sell well, nor were ever re-released due to [[ScrewedByTheLaywers lawsuits for copyright infringement that forced Vision to stop making them]]. In reality, it was due to the fact that [[GenreKiller the genre was shortening in popularity]].
* PreOrderBonus: If you were to buy Volume 3 the day it was released, you would've gotten a special note to win an RC car with Vision Home Entertainment branding on it.
* StreisandEffect: The person that made ''Gobman'' tried to make them stop selling Volume 2 due to [[OldShame him not wanting anyone to know that it even exists]]. Vision didn't stop however. He tried to force Vision to stop, but he wasn't as big as them. This led to people buying Volume 2 [[JustHereForGodzilla just to see what Gobman was]].
* VindicatedByReruns: These compilation discs became the reason why these DOS games, & demos have became more known than before.
