The most lovingly produced collection of games I think I have ever seen. The timeline approach is such a smart way to present this package, and all of the videos are insightful and well produced.
I also really like how a lot of the games support the use of the touchpad, but it would be nice if some of them could support gyro, or even a mouse. It would also be nice if a 3D printable design for the paddle attachment could be released for PlayStation consoles.

Atari 50 is the single best retro collection that I've ever played. The presentation, scans, interviews & emulation are all fantastic. There are several hours of content to explore. It's truly like an interactive museum exhibit. Sure there are gaps and omissions due to licensing issues but I accept that. As a life-long Atari fan & gamer I could not be happier. The collection does a fantastic job of telling the story of this pioneering brand. Amazing work from developer Digital Eclipse and Atari.

Pretty cool how it reminds me of the games i grew up with in the 70s and 80s. What can I say? I’m an Atari kid. Overall, I think it’s worth it at the sale price offered.

Many great Atari titles are on a modern platform thanks to this game. And there's also som reimagining here as well. But for many, it's the history and knowledge (along with old games) that makes it a winner. One note, while I'm glad to see Jaguar titles in the mix, other than T2K, they're inherently bad (like most Jaguar games).

Love the documentary portions but the games don't "feel" the same without the joystick controller (or knob controller). Glad I only paid $30 for it all
