It's average because they should have put more work into the emulator. I have only played Asteroids so far, but the controls are very difficult to handle. You have to remember that the original Atari controls were not proportional to the deflection of the joystick so they were much less responsive. You would think that's a good thing, but it makes the game hard to play, and not as enjoyable.

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.

Fantastic Collection that isn't just a romdump

Not only does this include a lot of older Atari games that have never seen re-releases (5200, 7800, Lynx and Jaguar) in addition to some new and long requested releases, but it is all put together in this fantastic package that functions as a bit of a museum tour through atari's history. the presentation is great, the emulation is great, the obscurity of games represented here is great and this switch port is great. this game sets a new standard for what retro compilation titles should be. Digital Eclipse really outdid themselves.

In addition to being able to play a lot of old school Atari games, they included art work, and video interviews, and so much more. It is definitely worth the money.

It has many games to choose from and I can play many of the games with my kids. The timeline of history included with the game is also cool to see.

A collection of Atari games from throughout the years. A deep dive of the company's history and backstory of the development of each system with a number of videos from the developers.

Very interesting game - it provides the history of the games, as well as some pretty cool lowfi beats. I used to play the Atari with my mom growing up, so this is a very fun throwback.

Very good selection from each gen, from arcade to jaguar. There are some duds in here too, but it leaves them open to release a volume 2.

A remarkably clever "interactive museum" blending gameplay with some deep cuts into the history of Atari. A must-purchase for fans of retro gaming. =)
