Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration

The games are boring and old and I didn't play them! But I really enjoyed the museum feature! It's very well designed and educational! I spent like six hours just poring over it and watching the little mini documentaries! One of them was about this old Asian chick who did graphic design for Atari! Then it started showing pics of her from the 70s and she was hot! Time gradually ruins everything! We're getting older every second and we're all going to die!

i wish it had all the games , no fast food, gate keeper and some other famous games are missing :( and keys are not that good !

Ok, these games are very much 'of their time' and most of them are probably only going to appeal to hardcore video game historians and people who are nostalgic about them from their childhood. But that being said, there are some real gems in this collection - as fun and addictive as they no doubt were when they were hot off the shelves. O.G. Pac Man, Breakout, Dig Dug, Bezerk, Frenzy, Galaxian, Galaga, Xevious, Asteroids, Dark Chambers; the list goes on - all fantastic games and well worth the price. Looking forward to the next DLC!

I won't recommend this because Atari confiscated my paid-for Atari Vault that had Battlezone to launch this.

Could definitely be the best compilation game ever made. If you care about pre NES era gaming this is a must buy. The Jaguar titles included is just icing on the already yummy cake

I grew up with some of these. Going to the arcade to play games with friends was the highlight of weekends and after school. This set of games is well worth the money. Surgery every 6 months means I get to play games for not only killing time but to keep my mind off pain levels until I recover. I buy games primarily for surgery recovery purposes. This set of games is the best value so far of all the games I have in my collection.

Excellent and interesting interactive documentary. Digital Eclipse has found quite a groovy way to do these things, I have to say. It's fun to be able to muck about with the games as you read and watch videos about them, and also try out unreleased things, new things and more obscure versions. To be fair, I don't have any real nostalgia for early Atari, and in my opinion there aren't many games from that era that hold up today. Quite few actually. But I love the fact that this exists and it's fun to mess around with. To see the rise of the glory days with innovation and trendsetting, to the horrible decisions that spelled their downfall.

This is more a Documentary with some cool games tacked onto them. I usually avoid doing the whole Pro and Con cliche for reviews but for the sake of brevity... Pros: This includes some new games to celebrate the anniversary but these should be treated more like mini games but for what it is worth, they are really good. VCTR-SCTR is amazing If you want to learn more about the great grandpappy of the industry, this is a great way to do so, a lot of love went into making this game. Decent showcase of Atari through the ages, I did not expect to see Jaguar or some homebrew games. The Cons: The game selection leaves a lot to be desired but that is mostly because Activision did not want to play ball. Activision was incredibly important to Atari and not having classics like Pitfall hurts this collection. Similarly Burgertime is missing from the M collection, and so is Frogger and Pole Position. The Jaguar selection could be better but again most of those games are in a legal Limbo and they did not include Battlemorph which was a killer sequel for Cybermorph and exclusive to the Atari Jaguar CD but I can guess why they did not want to mention that device in particular. All in all, this is Digital Eclipse best work, and there is a lot of charm and fun to be had here. Friggin Berzerker is so good. You got to love Tempest 2000, the music slaps. I enjoyed it a whole lot more than I thought I would, as a game collection is not that great but as a piece of history, yeah this is gnarly.
