264. Iron Maiden / Ed Hunter. 1999. 4/5.

This was a 3-disc collection released in 1999, which basically incorporated the PC game Ed Hunter, which had Eddie The 'Ead running around killing things in very Iron Maiden type locations, with the band members getting involved along the way.

It also had what proclaimed to be the fan's Top 20 favourite Iron Maiden songs of all time, in order, as voted by the fan's on websites and stuff. Now, if this is true, there are some weird fans out there. You cannot convince me of ANY Iron Maiden fans who think Iron Maiden the song is their best song ever! Anyway, I guess it is good for an argument.
And for argument's sake, here is a list of what I consider to be Maiden's Top 20 songs of all time, not in any particular order, and only up to the release of this compilation:

Remember Tomorrow
Phantom Of The Opera
Murders In The Rue Morgue
Killers
Children Of The Damned
The Prisoner
Where Eagles Dare
Revelations
The Trooper
To Tame A Land
Aces High
2 Minutes To Midnight
Powerslave
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Wasted Years
Heaven Can Wait
Alexander The Great
Infinite Dreams
Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter
The Clansman

Rating:  Reasonable game and reasonable song selection.  4/5.
