Sure, of those eight included games, all are either better than the Cruis'n games (and probably Arctic Thunder) or I've never heard of them (Badlands)... it's just strange to leave out at least one title from a series as popular as the Cruis'n titles were (and popularity is perhaps most important factor, probably, in deciding what games to include in a collection...). Perhaps it's because they were copublished with Nintendo and they don't have complete rights to republish those games or something?
Disk space could also be an issue, of course... there are some newer games in this collection that are much larger than the old stuff. Perhaps that's why we just get two of the three arcade Rush games (not standard Rush 1)... and we get Hydro Thunder and Off-Road Thunder but not Arctic Thunder (I played it once and yeah, it's not their best racing game ever, and is probably the worst of the three Thunder games, but it's not SO awful that I'm happy when they leave it out of a racing game collection...). Oh well. It's still a very good collection.
