Story:Rare Replay is a 2015 compilation of 30 video games previously developed by Rare and its predecessor, Ultimate Play the Game, in their 30-year combined history. The emulated games span multiple genres and consoles - from the ZX Spectrum to the Xbox 360 - and retain the features and errors of their original releases with minimal edits. The compilation adds cheats to make the older games easier and a Snapshots mode of specific challenges culled from parts of the games. Player progress is rewarded with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews about Rare's major and unreleased games. GoldenEye 007 is added to the game library of anyone who purchases a digital copy of Rare Replay. Upon GoldenEye 007's release on Xbox One/Series consoles, it was retroactively added to the game library of anyone with a prior purchase of a digital copy.Show more

I know what a rather ambitious compilation game to bring here. I strongly felt if it's possible to do so. Rare Replay going to be a huge seller here. You got a decent lineup of games with every DLCs included. Sure they have to figure how to get the games you install separately originally to work. This is packed with content with a lot of it locked. You got to play this compilation hard to unlock a lot of stuff. Up to N64 games, you get some expected compilation features. It's not perfect but still works enough to help things a bit. There's a lot of challenges you can do. There's a few games with online multiplayer. There's such a huge variety of game play to keep things interesting for a few years. Sure some of the later games lag a bit. Most of the compilation game quite huge in size as well. In it's defense, still among the most impressive compilation games I ever played. They pulled games from ZX Spectrum, Arcade, NES, N64, Xbox original and Xbox 360 respectively. I would even argue the greatest Rare game I ever played!!! I also gotta mention the opening cut scene. A true timeless classic intro that perfectly describes what you're in for. As of a few years ago, digitally they added in GoldenEye. There was proof they originally planned to include it into the compilation but plans were scrapped. This is full blown fan service. I respected them going for Conker's Bad Fur Day over it's Xbox remake. It's such an impressive compilation game it deserves to be saved.

A lot of the games within this are the only ways people can buy and play these games. Being trapped to playing these games on Xbox is also detrimental, since I really, REALLY want to be playing Perfect Dark with mouse and keyboard controls finally.
Those games also need your vote!

Metropolis: Lux Obscura
Metropolis: Lux ObscuraMetropolis Lux Obscura is a unique game with a film noir atmosphere, seductive wanton women, and dirty dangerous secrets. Gameplay is based on a motion comic with a non-linear plot mixed with MATCH3 puzzle fights. This city is rotten to the core. You can’t even tell night from day in this hell where big money runs everything. And the best way to prove you’re right is with brute force. Jon Lockhart walked through the prison gates a free man, after spending years imprisoned as the supposed murderer of an old friend. He returned once more to the city where it all started intent on figuring out who it was that framed him for the murder and make them pay in blood for the crime. It'd take some work with the key witness dead, but that just meant he'd have to flush out every rat from hiding. Old friends and new enemies. Search for the truth, for loyalty and sanity - but all you can find here is redemption, betrayal and death. Welcome to Metropolis.

Stunts
StuntsStunts (also known as 4D Sports Driving) is an early 3D racing video game developed by Distinctive Software, Inc.. The game places emphasis on racing on stunt tracks and features a track editor, it is clearly influenced by the earlier arcade game Hard Drivin' and has many similar elements to the game Stunt Driver which was released around the same time. In Stunts, players race a lap around the circuit, with the aim of completing the lap as quickly as possible without crashing. However, these laps often feature special track areas such as loops, jumps (including over tall buildings), slalom roads and corkscrews. The game area is restricted by a large fixed size square area defined and surrounded by a fence which the game is designed to prevent the player from leaving. Players can either race against the clock or choose between six different opponents; there is no support for real-time multiplayer. Stunts features 11 different drivable cars, with either automatic or manual transmission. Replays of races can be saved and reviewed. There are four camera views available during replay and actual driving, and the dashboard is an optional overlay on all views. It is also possible to continue the race from any point in the replay, however the time for that race will not be recorded. Another major feature of the game is the built-in track and terrain editor which allows the user to design arbitrary new tracks or modifications of existing tracks.[2] The cars can drive on paved roads, gravel roads, icy/snow roads, and grass if driving off the track — which all offer different levels of grip. The game has a relatively advanced pseudo-physics engine for its time which can simulate oversteer and understeer, grip is also proportional to the banking of a curve. The game features a 3D engine with flat shading and no textures, it uses polygonal graphics for most objects, including trees and road signs, there are few sprites. The resolution is 320×200 with 256 colors. There is an option to select high and low detail. The game is written for DOS and executes in real mode.[3] Stunts includes a form of copy protection. Each time after running the program, players must complete a specific phrase found in the game manual before being allowed to race. If the player fails to complete the phrase three times, the next race will still load. However, approximately four seconds into the race, the player is informed that he or she did not deactivate the car's security system, the car crashes, and the player is returned to the main menu.
