Remember the days when you’d wait on line in the arcade to play those early classics like Asteroids and Missle Command? Do you know all the secret warps in (one of my all-time faves) Crystal Castles? Did your mind become a steel trap when doing your best to kill that Centipede? If so, this is the collection for you: 18 arcade originals, plus a whopping 80 titles from the Atari VCS, including home versions of most of those same arcade titles…while the VCS compilation didn’t do much for me, not having jumped on the home system bandwagon until the late 80s, it’s still fun if you wanna see how much technology has improved in the last 25+ years, yet these first home video games w/their simple graphics and SFX were once considered state-of-the-art(!). All told, it’s a great find for anyone who wants a firsthand look at the genre’s first true “Golden Age”.
I love the old classics they live on an on forever. Please make it for PS3 so I can live on. :)Thanks,Kenneth
Great games
this compleats the games i used to play in arcades as a kid i got activision,intellevision,and nanco so this atari compleates the arcade list too bad the companies don’t have these games bata tested before releasing them they would know of the problems and fix them before release or atleast give ya a sheet telling you how to fix the problems. this game is alot like the arcade feeling only you can pause it when ya need and nobody take your turn.
If you and 50 million others grew up with Atari you will find this a must have for your game collection! The 18 arcade games are worth the price alone.All are reproduced faithfully.The common complaint is the “paddle games” it’s true. The ps2 or any other controller just don’t work.The exception being Tempest! The 2600/VCS games are perfectly emulated here as well.I am constantly amazed at what they could pack in to a 2-4 k cartridge! Later games have more memory but we are still talkin about K’s! 85 games! Astroids to Yars Revenge! Plus all the variations will test your gaming skill to the limit! True gen y gamers may not “get it” but I’d challenge the best of them to a game of Astroids any day.Back in the day you didn’t win you survived! This is the perfect companion to Activison Anthology! Endless fun here don’t pass it up!
This game collection has so many cool old games. It would give many people the opportunity to have hours of fun. Thank you for selling this game collection online.
just like the original Atari games. Centipede, astriods and missle command will bring you right back to the early 80’s
Even though this collection has been out on the PS2 for a while, I just recently purchased it. I am very glad I did. There were games that I had forgotten that I even played in the arcade, until I started playing them again. The great thing about this collection is that is a combination of Arcade games and 2600 games. To be honest, most of the 2600 games aren’t that great, Yars’ Revenge is the best one, it still has the same appeal to me as it did when I bought it for the 2600 years ago.The main reason I bought this was for the Arcade games, which didn’t dissapoint. I had read some reviews where it was stated that it was organized poorly, I didn’t find that to be the case. I had no problem finding any game, and all the arcade games were in one place. The home versions of the arcade games were in it’s own section, which I thought was pretty good, it was easy to go between both versions to see the differences.It came with a neat bonus section, it included pictures of the original game cabinets, sales literature, instructions and trivia which I felt was pretty interesting.The options section was set up pretty well. All the arcade games had the option of playing with the cabinet viewable or without. It was great to see again what the actual controls looked like but i found that most games were unplayable with this enabled, the screen was too small. Luckily there was the option to play the game without the cabinet viewable and the games played just fine, you were even able to adju.
Five stars for Atari finally bringing out classic games, four for layout of the menus.The menus may be a bit confusing (The arcade ones are grouped together, but the Atari 2600 games are grouped separately), but shines overall.While the graphics are a bit dated for today’s standards (especially on the PS2), but it brings me back to the times when video games were simpler, had one or a few objectives to complete and didn’t require massive polygonal graphics. While some magazines that pertain to gaming say this game (mostly the games that are Atari 2600 versions) should be
Let’s face it, some play games for life-like graphics and others play games for challenge and to have fun. These classic games are for the latter.Some of the simplest games included on the disc (like Pong and Breakout) are the most difficult to master, but they were difficult to master back in the day. I mean to position the paddle right where the ball is coming is dang hard, right. If games are not challenging what is the point.My favorite games on this disc are Millipede, Lunar Lander, Asteroids and Defender. Which are yours?
