Instead of getting discs with old games that you play on your PS2, have you checked out emulators? You can easily emulate games for most consoles on a regular computer. If you have a USB joypad and can connect your PC to a TV, then it can be a pretty nostalgic experience.
yes i have tried emulators

they're not quite as close to the original arcade versions as the ones I have on my PS2 - well, the Taito, Capcom and Midway comps, anyway - because the programmers tried to stick as close to the original arcade graphics and sound as possible

the Sega ones look nothing like the arcade version - and there's still not a decent Space Harrier arcade version emulator on the PC, i've only found the Amiga one (which was only ok) and the Genesis version (Space Harrier 2), which I didn't quite like
