Ok. Maybe I used the world legendary a bit too rash. But then again, as shadow pointed out, it's all relative, isn't it?
I mean if you like arcade games, it's friggin awesome. And although it might be a clone of some other arcade games, it's a darn good one. I mean, epic didn't just take ideas from one game, jj2 has elements of more games than just sonic. I mean, sonic with a gun? what more could you wish for.
I mean for me, it was love at first sight. You could run like hell and shoot. I mean Mario was all about making that jump, or stomping someone and evading something/someone, which is OK I guess, but I prefered raw action. Sonic is one of my fav characters ever, but I never liked the games as much.
And don't get me started on the theme song
Or the absolutely yummy 3d bonus levels.
Plus, epic classics isn't for Joe the Plummer - they play FIFA(or NBA if they're american) and Halo and whatever else the gaming industry deems the general public should play. If you're into games from the 90's, you're a gaming conneseur. You're the gaming equivalent to people who watch James Cagney movies, or legendary Hitchock and Kubrick creations. Maybe JJ1 won't go down in history in the same category as Doom, but it's deifnitely in our hearts and I'd sooner pay 25 bucks for JJ1 than for some new world war 2 FPS. To each their own. But I seriously doubt epic classics were set up for the general public. And alhtough 25 bucks isn't cheap, it isn't that bad.

One could be a bit critical of Epic though, cuz some other companies (former Shiny studios for example) have put their games old games up on their webpages, so you can download them (Sacrifice for 9.99 dollars). In that respect, I can feel all those people who think 25 is too much - cuz Sacrifice is friggin awesome. But you know, nobody's perfect, although jj1 got close

And when Newspaz gets done with the add-ons it's gonna be friggin outa dis world

A nice strategy from epic would be to put their old games (say, all games from jj1 to ut99) up on their webpage and then you could download them if you would be willing to pay anything upwards from one dollar. i'm sure there would be quite a couple of downloads. But i'd still keep the classics division, for people who want CD's and extra goodies.
