Portable Versions
Of the portable versions, the Game Boy Advance version has the most games, including several homebrew games that do not appear on the PS2 or PC versions. It does not include Commando or the Imagic titles, nor does it play music during gameplay. It does have some custom 80s-style songs that play in the menu screens, however.
The PlayStation Portable version has the Imagic titles (Demon Attack, Atlantis, Moonsweeper), full-speed emulation, and 1980s tunes featured on the PS2 and computer versions, but does not include Commando, the "Absolute" titles, titles exclusive to the other handheld releases or the homebrew titles.
There was also a mini version of the collection released on mobile phones with only 3 titles. It included Pitfall, H.E.R.O., and River Raid.
A version of the collection was released to Android and iOS devices on August 30th, 2012. The game Kaboom! is offered as an initial free game, while the rest of the games were offered as an in-app purchase. This version includes the Imagic game Dragonfire, but does not include the homebrew games, or the games Commando, Baseball, Skate Boardin', Title Match Pro Wrestling and Tomcat F14. This version does not contain any licensed 1980s music.
