    Not much to say about the games, 103 games Atari classics from 50 years, including some remakes. The jaguar classic Cyber Morph aka "Where did you learn to fly?"The sleeve for the Steelcase is the wrong size and i could barely take it out. I had to break the sleve.

    I've always been a big Atari fan, having used their products from back in the days of the standalone home Pong machines, ranging up to their very last console, the Jaguar, and that included owning one of just about every device in between. This 50 year anniversary collection has a decent selection of titles from just about every Atari platform during that time, including tons of console and arcade classics, as well as a few newer games that were written as tributes to games from the past. This title includes a timeline that gives a nice history lesson as well as insights from various insiders, along with the chance to play both your favorites and games that you never had a chance to back in the day. About the only thing missing here is software that was published on the Atari ST line of computers, but considering that Atari themselves didn't publish many games on their 16 bit computers, this is hardly a surprise. Really, it's hard to find any faults with this well put-together title.

    Not only is a collection of Atari's earlier games, but a comprehensive look at the history of the company. The game will have you watching interviews with creators of these classic games before you can move on to unlock the next game. Well worth cost of admission. My only complaint with this collector's edition is the packaging. The slipcover doesn't quite fit over the steelbook case, so it will be a chore to get it off without damaging the slip. I was able to take mine off carefully (took some time), but can't get it back on in fear of damaging it.

    This collection has over a hundred games. But this collaboration goes beyond just the games, it breaks down the full history of Atari which starts with Pong and it's arcade prototype. It also has video documentaries and testimonials. There's lots of pictures of the arcade cabinets, ads and concept art. Whether you're a fan of Atari or someone curious about the history of arcades or home consoles, this is a must buy for every gamer. Thank you Atari for 50+ years of memories.

    A lot of compilation games exist these days but the historic journey you'll go through with interviews and design notes is unlike any other! The steelbook is beautiful too!

    Atari at it's best. This collection is amazing AND the steel case is next level! Beware, the steel case is in a paper cardboard sleeve and fits very tight. I do not remove it from it a lot. This is a very nice item to add to your collection!

    This is worth it for the documentary portion of it by itself, And the games are just the icing on the cake. Definitely worth the price for Atari lovers.

    Fun travel back in time. I like the intetviews with the developers telling you the history of atari. The game selection is great, and nice to see some Lynx and Jaguar games on there. My only gripe is it’s very difficult to remove the sleeve from yhe steel book without damahinging, as it’s on super tight.

    I grew up playing the Atari at my cousins in the early 80s before getting my NES in '86. This entire collection was a walk down memory lane I didn't expect, with a few bonuses thrown in for good measure such as remastered games and even the illfated Jaguar! Try it out if you have even the slightest nostalgia.

    It's a good game, but removes some games

    The game is great, but they screwed up with the cardboard sleeve, it's too small for the steelbook. Getting it off was a pain and if you try to put it back on, removing it a second time is just as difficult as the first time. I really wish they made the cardboard sleeve just a little bit wider. The biggest downside though is some games such as Bowling from the previous release were removed from this release, so you can't just sell off the old one if you have it, you need to keep both to play all the games both offer.
