If you are an enthusiastic of old videogames or are curious of videogames history, you must have this collection. But beware. It's not just a bunch of ROMS, but a really interesting encyclopedia, and a very well crafted one. But letme do a clarification: there are so many classic Atari games, like Pacman, Moon patrol, Donkey Kong, Pole Position, Galaga, Riders of lost Ark, Joust, Defender, Tron, Space invaders, etc. you won't find here (I believe it's a matter of copyrights), so It might not be a golden return to your childhood games. But, on the other hand, remember the firsts virtual encyclopedias from the 90's? this is what this collection is. An interactive encyclopedia that will lead you throght the history of Atari, with videos, articles, interviews, pictures, and many examples of classic games. It won't give you back many memoirs, but it will guide you throught a knowledge of and historic behemot of the early years of videogames.

A fun compilation of several great arcade games, console games, and modern updated games. I wanted it just for Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Centipede, Fire Truck, I robot, Millipede, Tempest, Adventure (2600), Tempest (Jaguar), Atari Kart (Jaguar), Miner 2049 (Atari 800) and some Atari 5200 and 7800 games. I like it so much I purchased it for the Nintendo switch as well. It's a good deal on sale.

I posted a recommendation to improve their "Lunar Lander" game, and they implemented it!! Now, you can put in quarters while playing to add fuel, like we used to back in University. It's left-shift, btw. You're welcome, Lunar Lander fans!! #AtariListens

I'm lucky enough to have been a youngster who experienced the dawn of video games ( I remember queues of people waiting to play Space Invaders, Pacman and Galaxian, and was fortunate to have parents who thought the Grandstand video console would rock my world - how right they were!). Now as a middle aged man I feel lucky again to have Digital Eclipse and Atari take me back to my childhood. Rose tinted glasses? A big ol' pint glass of nostalgia? Sure, why not. Because progress, boys and girls, ain't all that.. gaming today has lost the magic of anticipation, the unknown, the sheer delight of coming back from a store with a physical copy of a game you saved your pocket money for months for.. My first exposure to Atari was my friend's 2600 VCS - we played Decathlon/Space Invaders/Donkey Kong for A WHOLE WEEKEND, and I'm talking 7am to 9pm for 2 days solid! I can't tell you how happy I am that projects like Atari 50 exist, because the current climate of video game rights and live service delivery mean that the sacred art of video gaming will be lost to the dusty ether of cloud storage history.. I know, I know, I'm typing this on Steam which could be regarded as one of the biggest obstacles to gaming preservation, but I'm only a member here because of a little game called Half Life 2 which arrived at a difficult time in my life and renewed my faith in digital storytelling and the power of video games.. If there's one thing I would suggest that might remind GenZ that video games didn't start with Zelda or Call of Duty, it would be to insist that all current and new coders (regardless of whether they work at Microsoft or Nintendo or Electronic Arts or Rockstar or Ubisoft or Epic or an independent studio etc.) are required to code a game as a homebrew 2600 project.. that could be the great leveller Peace Out Friends

Really solid package but I wish we got more interviews. Going through 50 years of Atari and being able to try these old games along the way and listening to the stories of how it all happened was very enjoyable. Welcome back, Atari!
