First off,I have to say that I grew up in the 80s and I used to play atari all the time,so my review may be a bit biased.For me, this game had so many memories in it that it was a blast!One of the main reasons I got this anthology was because it included the great game Seaquest in it.I used to play that game for hours on end back in the day! Some other great games included on it are,MegaMania,Frostbite, SpiderFighter,LaserBlaster,KeystoneKapers,RoboTank,and of course Pitfall.The 80s soundtrack put in the game made it even better;I mean playing these classics while listening to “Safety Dance”,”Tainted Love” or “Were Not Gonna Take It” is priceless in my opinion.If any of these songs do get on your nerves though( you can only listen to Mexican Radio so many times!) you are given the option to turn the music off.I just wish they would have given the option to only play certain songs while leaving other ones out..Oh well.The only minor complaint I have for this title,is that some of the games included were really,REALLY bad!I mean I remember hating these games when I used to own them as cartridges for the atari 2600.The really bad games include,Dragster(terrible!), Dolphin,TomCat and the “bonus” games Kabobber and Thwoker. However there are enough fun games in here to justify buying it esp. since you can buy this new for pretty cheap. That’s a great dealfor a gamer’s trip down memory lane.In conclusion,any gamer in his/her twentites would love this title.As for the younger genera.

These are the classic games I played as a kid. Although primitive, they were *very* addictive and kept you saying, “Just one more game!”And what a bargain! … Well worth it. Although about half the games are not really worth playing today, there are several must-have classics:Pitfall, Pitfall 2 (like 2D Metroid in a jungle), H.E.R.O., Kaboom, Cosmic Ark, Demon Attack.

If you like the old school games that were a lot of hand eye coordination and not focused on puzzle solving or blood splatter you might want to give this a try. Great fun with games that are enjoyable to play more than once and that you don’t need a cheat guide to understand.

My daughter is 6 years old and loves this game. This was one of only two gifts she asked Santa for this year. She loves the games but really enjoys the 80’s music that goes along with it. If you like the classic arcade games then you’ll like this collection.

This is a very awesome game for all the fans of atari, even if you aren’t a fan, you’ll like this game! Let me tell you that it has all the games from the PS One Activision Classics plus 20 more! Let me just say that you won’t be disappointed!P.S. By the way…all you Pitfall 2 fans will love this game!

Activision released their library of Atari 2600 games many times before but this time they succeeded in capturing the nostalgic 80’s feel that makes this package a great ‘musuem’ for those of us who cut our teeth on the early game systems. As you play through the games you unlock items like classic commercials and the patches Activision used to give away. You’ll also unlock ‘filters’ that range from annoying to nausea inducing. As you try to unlock more goodies you may find yourself actually finding some depth to these seemingly simplistic games. In this way, Activision has actually made a game I would’ve played for 5 minutes into an obsession to achieve a higher score to open a commercial. If that’s not enought, they also have ten 80’s songs playing in the backround (which can be turned off if you get tired of hearing Safety Dance) and the actual 3-D box and cartridge shots that you can examine (although a better zoom would’ve been nice). If you had any enjoyment with these Activision classics back in the day or enjoy 80’s nostalgia then this is definately worth the price of admission.

All the classic games in here are a blast to play again even in over a decade. Pick this one up if you’re an old school of the 80’s fan collector. Plus, the disk has tons of unlockable stuff, it even has 80’s retro music, how cool is that? Though, I think it should have more 80’s songs, but good enough.A must buy. You’ll enjoy it.

Back in the 80’s almost everyone owned the Atari 2600/VCS.Atari Anthology covers 85 games (18) arcade) and it’s fantastic! However,just like the 80’s Activision Anthology just rocks it harder! Activision was the first “third party publisher” for the Atari.Made up of former Atari programmers they made the 2600/VCS do things previously thought impossible.Better graphics,more colors,and intense action that to this day tests any gamers skill to the limit! Not only do you get 45 games but you get an 80’s soundtrack! Cool extras like virtual patch’s you can earn by hitting a certain score.All the greats are here from the groundbreaking Pitfall (Pitfall2 as well) Laser Blast,River Raid (River Raid 2) Starmaster and Kaboom to name a few.There are also a few classics not made by Activision as well. Demon Attack and atlantis from Imagic are here! Demon Attack being by far one of the best Invaders/galaxian type games ever produced IMO. Games thought impossible to make work on the 2600 like Space Shuttle,Tomcat the f-14 simulator are amazing.Games that atari made are one upped by Activison like Robot Tank (Battlezone),Spiderfighter/Megamania/Demon Attack (invaders/galaxian/Phoniex)Starmaster (star Raiders almost unplayable on Atari anthology due to a wierd controller sceme)Beamrider (Tempest) Enduro (Pole Position) and many more. They even made the paddle controls work (better but not perfect) for Kaboom! Even in the new century Activision beats Atari! This is the better anthology b.
