Favorite arcade hits I like to see on the next gen

Call me nostalgic, but I really enjoyed playing those quarter-munching arcade games when I was a teen. Right now, I have the Namco Museum for PS2 and Midway Arcade Treasures for the GC. Here, hoping the Atari Arcade Hits comes to the console. Here the lists I liked to see come out.

Taito Arcade Hits
Space Invaders (natch)
Arkanoid
Darius and Darius 2
Operation Wolf
Qix

Capcom Arcade Hits
Ghouls n Ghosts
Strider (this game made me get the Genesis)
Alien vs Predator
All the 1940 vertical shooters

Nintendo Arcade Hits
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Mario Brothers
Popeye (anyone remember this one)
Punch-Out!!
Super Punch-Out!!

What your wish lists.

I'd love to see a faithful version of Karate Champ (not the horrible NES version, either!). With the PS2 and GC's dual-analog controls, I think the gameplay could be decent too!

I'd love to see a collection of all those Capcom sidescrolling fighters/shooters. (sure a lot of them are near identical, but that doesn't make them less fun for it).

Captain Commando
Punisher
AvP
Final Fight
Knights of the Round Table
Captain America
X-men
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
etc.


(was it capcom who made the arcade version of Moonwalker or was that someone else). Not to mention other sidescrolling shooters like "In the Hunt", etc.

I really want to see a Metal Slug Collection for xbox as well. If I could get all the games in a single set, that'd be a system seller for me -- even if it was a Sony system

X-Men!

Was this ever released on home consoles?

I'd like disc with the entire Monster World series on it, with improved 2D graphics and CD quality music, and the option for new "expert" modes.

1. Wonder Boy in Monster Land
2. Monster World II (aka Wonder Boy III: Dragon's Trap or Dragon's Curse)
3. Monster World III (aka Wonder Boy in Monster World or Dynastic Hero)
4. Monster World IV
