Personal note: This is a poor review written by someone who didn't even look at the press-kit. I hate being negative, but this is a review of 2x8 games and the author seems to focus on Zero Wing's notoriety, and graphics, etc., when (I think) some of these variants have never had a modern console release (except on Evercade).

Edit: here is a review with game-by-game commentary

I will likely get these collections when my pay comes in (and maybe Gradius too...).
