If you're looking for something that's going to keep you busy for a fair few hours, then look no further than this epic collection of Capcom from US Gold. Each of the blasts in this compilation are instantly recognisable names, each guaranteed to glue you to the screen and offering as much variety as you could ask for in one go.

There's not much room on one page to take you through a guided tour of each of the offerings on this collection, so just take a look through the names and you'll see that value for money is guaranteed.

Not only do you get the original Strider blast here, but you also get the sequel, Strider II, as well. If you know this one, then you'll know that the graphics are a treat, as you take on the alien forces, armed only with your sweeping net of death.

US Squadron takes you up into the skies, battling it out with the latest in high-tech weaponry against some formidable enemy positions. Excellent graphics make this one shoot-em-up you won't forget in a hurry.

If it's shoot-'em-ups you're into, then you won't want to miss Last Duel while you're about it. Take on a friend in some real fast blast action in this head-to-head challenge to set your pulse rate racing.

Also included in the list is one of the best arcade conversions of the year, Forgotten Worlds. Extraterrestrial adventure is at its level best here as you take on some of the ugliest beasts around to save the day.

If you like racing, then try a trip out on LED Storm, a futuristic speed offering with a difference. Totally addictive and guaranteed to keep you glued til the finish line.

On a totally different note, Dynasty Wars sees you entering the world of oriental combat arts in a big way, featuring a superb scenario and some truly atmospheric sound effects as you fireball your way through the bad guys.

Last, but by no means least on this epic collection, is the classic Ghouls 'n' Ghosts. A true classic of a game which sees you wandering through the graveyards, armed with daggers or sword, taking on all manner of zombies and ghoulies on your travels.

I think you get the drift of what I'm saying from that little lowdown. There's an awful lot on offer in this amazing compilation.

There's certainly something for everyone and with these names on board, quality is guaranteed from the very start. Whatever you like in a game, it's sure to be included here somewhere, so go out and reserve your copy now.
