Why you can trust 12DOVE
Along with these six true classics come a bevy of games that demonstrate the more forgettable side of these classic eras. Platformer B.O.B., early one-on-one fighter Budokan, and Virtual Pinball aren't necessarily bad games. They're just not all that good, either.
Ultima VII, part of the venerable PC RPG series suffers because the version on EA Replay is not the PC version, but actually the almost unplayable SNES port. Even doing something as simple as walking up to townsfolk and talking to them is a chore here. Syndicate is, likewise, based on the console port. While the original is a very good PC game, the console version just didn't cut it then, and doesn't cut it now.
The biggest tragedy in EA Replay, though, has to be the two Wing Commander games. Again, these are based on the SNES versions, not the fantastic PC games. And while the SNES versions were actually quite respectable back in the day, the PSP's tiny screen, streaking issues, and low frame rate combine to make these two classics pretty much unplayable. Dammit.
