The games with most appearances on Ocean/Imagine compilations

Post by PeteProdge »

Spent half an hour working this out on a spreadsheet, and prior to that, I had guessed Green Beret was the game that made most appearances. Was I right?

Yes.

Green Beret has made 5 appearances on compilations under the brands of Ocean, Imagine and The Hit Squad.


The Great Escape and Yie Ar Kung-Fu are second with 4 appearances each, but hold on - that does not count the existence of Yie Ar Kung-Fu 128K (a compilation exclusive on Ocean's Stars On The 128K). If you count that in with Yie Ar Kung-Fu, then I guess that would be 5 appearances each, tying it with Green Beret for top place.


Quite a few games have 3 appearances

Daley Thompson's Supertest by Ocean
Double Dragon by Melbourne House
Frankie Goes To Hollywood by Ocean
Hyper Sports by Imagine
Operation Wolf by Ocean
Ping Pong by Imagine
Rambo by Ocean

However, there's a similar situation to Yie Ar Kung-Fu, in that there is a 128K-specific version (Daley Thompson's Supertest 128), so if you count that in with the others, that would be 4 appearances for that title. From what I can see, it's on the Stars On The 128K compilation but was aslo available separately.

2 appearances:

Arkanoid by Imagine
Army Moves by Dinamic
Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior by Palace Software
Bubble Bobble by Firebird
