Reception

All versions of the compilation received generally mixed to negative reviews, with the first volume of the Dreamcast version earning a 64.00%,[7] the second volume of the Dreamcast version earning a 70.00%,[8] the Nintendo 64 version earning a 63.43%,[9] and the Game Boy Advance version earning a 54.50%[9] from video game aggregator GameRankings. The first volume of the Dreamcast version,[10] the Game Boy Advance version, and the Nintendo 64[11] were criticized for poor sound and visual emulation, especially the Game Boy Advance version, which has been developed by Pocket Games, rather than Digital Eclipse (the developer for the console titles), which has missing voice samples and "shrunk" visuals in Sinistar, glitchy collision detection in Joust and intense slowdown in Defender.[12]
