    blends classic retro games with documentary film

    Truly impressive multimedia experience that blends classic gameplay with documentary film quality videos in an interactive/playable timeline. Lots of fun games and some that are worth a play just to appreciate how far gaming has come since they were first made available to homes. Outlaw, Pong, Yar's Revenge are just a few titles but there's plenty to choose from.

    I am an older gamer. (48) I can’t spend a lot of time on it, (responsibilities) but, it’s great to go down memory lane. I really enjoyed the videos from the programmers. Nice touch, Great Game.

    Haven't yet played most of the games included in this set, but it's been fun to play these Atari games on a modern console like the Nintendo Switch! May not be as impressive to younger gamers, but it's got nostalgic value for those looking for it.

    A great love letter to fans of classic Atari or people interested in video game history. Great selection of games spanning multiple Atari systems. Chock-full of extras including box art and details from developers.

    Fabulous if like me you grew up with the Atari 2600 and 800. Includes not just a nice selection of games from those and other Atari systems, but also an interactive timeline with select videos relating to the history of the systems and games.

    I love Atari and the developers of this game did a really good job not only for the games themselves but also the history or Atari. Thought this was a great buy,

    As an 80s gamer, I enjoy revisiting the titles in this package. My son, and old soul at 14, loves these retro games as much as I did back then. We have had hours of enjoyment. But some games don't work very well with the controllers. Pong great example. All analog games are difficult

    Digital Eclipse did a fantastic job with Atari 50. Just the inclusion of Tempest 2000 for Atari Jaguar makes it worth it. All of the arcade, console, and computer releases by Atari on this collection are polished to be very enjoyable with modern controllers, with plenty of quality-of-life features for today. Digital Eclipse with Atari have raised the bar on what to expect from a compilation sharing its history. It would be nice to see a similar release of the same caliber celebrating the heritage of other prolific video game companies.

    More (Good) Documentary Than Game Collection

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I found the documentary elements of this title far more interesting than most of the games included. Atari games just don't age well, and I say that as someone who played them enthusiastically as a child. There's still some fun to be had with a handful of the games, but it's not a long lasting experience. The behind the scenes videos and documentation, on the other hand, are fascinating, and worth viewing/reading through. Very interesting stuff, although maybe not worth the full retail price of a Switch cart. Atari die-hards or those interested in video game history are sure to enjoy this, however.

    Building out an interactive timeline that lets you watch videos, look at art, production models, and play games is maybe the most ingenius way to explore Atari’s 50 years in the industry. Well crafted and perfect for portable play.

    I have played the old Atari games for years and was so happy to see a compilation of one of the most important and influential game studios of all time. Without Atari, games would be completely different. This collection was awesome and I am so glad to have these classics on modern systems.

    I have purchased pretty much all Atari collections for nostagic memories. Some have been good, many have not. Out of all Atari collections, this one is by far the best and closest to what I remembered playing. The Atari Jaguar games is a huge plus since i was never able to play them before.

    would give it 5 stars but i need to use both controllers to play games that were invented before controllers- and it says we can have 4 players so now i would need to buy more controllers for everyone to play. annoying. but the games are fun.
