Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the classic gameplay and the affordable price of Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 1, finding it a fun way to revisit childhood favorites. Many enjoyed the nostalgic experience, while some found the controls challenging to master. The game's simple control scheme, however, proved difficult for some users to adapt to.

    Honestly who'd have thought that anyone would still be interested in these games but they're so much fun and on;y for $19.99 and there is 50 games on the disc. UGH! If only I has waited 40 years I could have saved a TON of money. LOL, seriously though the recreation of these classic arcade and 2600 games is a blast. Your kids may or may not agree but who cares. This is for me. :)

    Missing a few of the iconic games, like Pac-man and Space Invaders, but has most of the classic games. Fun and good value for $20.

    Classic ATARI games are nice to have 'on hand'

    Sometimes, you DO need a break from '1st person shooter' games, or far-too-realistic ZOMBIES trying to kill & eat you. Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 1 is nice to have 'on hand' when it's time to give more realistic PS4 games a break.

    A great choice for anyone looking for the return of the early days of video gaming. A bunch of fun to play with my son and have him experience what gaming was like when I was a kid.

    50 classic Atari games, both arcade and 2600... Including almost every cartridge that I ever owned. Even has 1-4 player, leaderboards, and online play... Classic artwork, arcade cabinets and history. Only $20 each. Gonna log some serious "Haunted House" and "Star Raiders" time.

    This is a Great Way to get your Nostalgic Atari fix without utilizing the original Atari system or one of the Flashback compilation Atari game systems. I have a Flashback system n' its Aight, but a PS4 controller performs better than the Archaic Joysticks. The graphics are dated & this game is really only meant for Atari enthusiasts. The game does not use much of your playstation's GBs so I say go for it & be #AtariStrong

    It's a lot of fun to see the games from my childhood, but there is a reason they didn't make it to the bigger screen. It's also hard to play many of them because they were paddle based, and the PS controllers are actually too advanced. Still a lot of great nostalgia and a lot of fun for the price.

    At first I wasn't going to buy this collection since I already owned the PS2 collection. I didn't play the PS2 game much. I didn't like the menus; you had to navigate through a hierarchy of categories like "Sports Games" and "Arcade at Home". The controls were also a bit touchy. Centipede and the paddle games were difficult to play. I'm glad I finally bought the PS4 version. The single flat menu is much more convenient, and the controls are much improved. Having scans of the game manuals is also a nice touch.

    This is a good mix of games for someone looking to replay some classic games from around 30 years ago. Although there are plenty of good games on this disc, expect some filler as well.

    The first one I tried to play was centipede which I remember playing over 30 plus years ago. That was great! Wore off quickly though. Many of the other games I didn't remember, all of them in 8-bit graphics not very good to today's standards obviously. One racing game started out decent but stuck in a curve and finally locked up after about a minute of turning. Pong was moving so fast you couldn't get the paddles to move quick enough to play that game otherwise that would have been good Nostalgia not enough.

    A collection of first and second generation Atari games; the UIX is a little strange with the PS4 controllers. Possibly it's just because Atari style games create a desire for a simpler joystick/knob controller, but I found games like Pong and some of the standards a little unwieldy. While I'm okay with the price point, truth is, it's probably worth a little less due to the actual experience.

    You will enjoy playing the old games, but will likely soon miss the modern gaming. A little bit goes a long way.
