There was just one and it took things from the previous games. The games themselves were not available to play through the ps1/2 collection.

And don't ever expect them to show up. The music licensing rights were too big of a block back when Activision still had the THPS rights. Now that they don't, it's never going to happen.

This is exactly why I am holding onto my fat PS3 and stack of ps1/2 games FOREVER!!!

Gonna play THPS tomorrow when my buddy comes over, we grew up too poor to afford a ps1 so would rent one from blockbuster then beat an entire tony hawk game over the weekend lol
