CompletexboxFeb 202680/100Despite the nostalgia rose tinted glasses I played while playing all the games in this collection, part of my brain was constantly reminding me of how old these games are and how far gaming has come. Obviously, we wouldn’t have the platforming masterpieces of today, without the originals such as these and the ingenious developers and programmers who performed almost miracle work with the limited abilities of 1980s hardware and software. £6.99 is the asking price for a good amount of content and an amazing, but very outdated, collection of classic games. Highly recommended if you grew up with titles such as these and retro systems, however your kids might not understand the attraction. Now if you excuse me, I’m off to die another hundred times on the first screen of Wanted: Monty Mole. For fun, no less!

Gaming FureverSean PhillipsFeb 20263/5While just seeing the games brought back to a modern audience is great and is a step in the right direction for game preservation, this collection isn't really worth your time unless you grew up playing these titles and want to relive your childhood.

Digitally DownloadedAlex KidmanJan 20242.5/5 starsThe Monty Mole Collection isn’t extremely expensive, and that’s perhaps its saving grace, because examining its fare won’t set you back a lot. But in the shadow of far superior collections that genuinely pay homage to why retro gaming is so important to not only be preserved but played, this is definitely second-rate. Monty may or may not be innocent, but he deserved better than this.
