Okay, so I didn’t nessesarily grow up when Atari was popular, but I certainly did grow up with much respect for it. I got my hands on a compilation of Atari 2600 goodness for the PC quite a few years ago, and it opened up a brand new interest of mine. After this, I became fascinated with the system and I started playing more and more of it while everybody was playing Goldeneye and such….Well, years passed and I was about 15 years old, and I decided I needed to know everything from this ancient system. I downloaded an emulator and packs of ROMS to all I didn’t possess including prototypes, and it sort of saddened me to see the neglect of such an awesome thing here.About a year later, I heard of Activision Anthology and I just had to buy it… maybe it was because it contained a never before released Kabobber, in which I had already had the privalege to play, but would have loved to have played it properly. I had played every single one of the games on this compilation, but it was a pain to have to play them on a crummy emulator, so this was nessessary. I was surprised to find so many extra features unique to this release, including the greatest soundtrack to date on the PS2! Everything worth mentioning of the 80’s music scene is found here (well, not really, but its all very good,) and you have an opportunity to unlock various things such as commercials and new gameplay modes by reaching certain scores.I am a unique sort of person. Everything in my room is either date.
I really enjoy this game! it’s just like having flashblacks the soundtrack is GREAT with songs by Twistid Sister,SoftCell ect ect…I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!! :)
good idea to put a lots of games in one thing, good deal!
I specifically bought this for River raid and Pitfall. I loved both as a kid and still do. My 7 year old has fun with pitfall. It is not the same as playing with the joys sticks but I would recommend.
If you were a child of the 80s and loved video games, than your [$$$]cannot be better spent.Between the awesome 80s soundtrack and the unlockables in this game it is really worth it.Why only 4 stars? You can only play this is short bursts as you will find the walk down memory lane is fun, it wont last too long.IE: You wont play PITFALL for 12 hours anymore :D
While the appeal may be limited to older gamers, the Activision Anthology is loads of fun. While similar compilations from Midway and Namco are bare-bones sets with 4 games and a few extras, the Activision Anthology contains no less than 48 games from the Atari 2600. It is also kicked up a notch with a nice 80’s soundtrack and extras you can unlock by playing the games.By far, the best games are Kaboom!, Pitfall, Spider Fighter, Megamania, and Plaque Attack. These are classics I remember having as a kid. There is also a nice selection of sports games (Ice Hockey, Skiing, Baseball) for those who enjoy the 2 player mode. All games come with original graphics and sound effects, and even scans of the original boxes and manuals. Added to this is a nice selection screen which resembles a bedroom, and the music adds to the 80’s feeling. Anyone feeling nostalgic will love this compilation.But like all compilations of this type, there is a certain amount of filler. Some of the games are terrible, even by Atari standards. I would love to have had games like Moon Patrol and Q’bert included, but there are a few games here that are pointless and boring. Also, while the addition of 80’s music is a nice touch, the selection is somewhat limited to 10 songs. It does get repetative.But to judge this by today’s standards is unfair, and most gamers who pick this compilation up already know this. The appeal is for older gamers, but I recommend this to everyone who is interested in the evolution o.
This is a great collection and plays well although a little glitch on my older model ps3. Many good titles including a couple of Imagic ones.
The games were okay Atari games. There area a lot of them however. But what I would have liked to have seen is re released versions of them. The most entertainment I got out of this was watcing the old atari commercials that I had unlocked.
No kidding, the selection screen is just a few items short of looking like my childhood room. I had my Atari hooked up to a black and white TV because the costs of games kept me from up-grading to a color TV. Just too hard to do when your income was $4 a week for taking out the trash for your parents and $6 a week for delivering the now defunct Washington Star on Sunday mornings.Just like all of the reviews before this one, the sound track is great (love the Roxy Music), but too short and gets repetitive. I wish they had included more songs and you’ll find yourself turning off the music after a few laps. I just about fell out of my chair laughing after unlocking the Hockey comercial with Phil Hartman from his pre SNL days. All of the add media you can unlock is hilarious (what geeks we all were). Like watching retro commercials on Nick at Night.I remember the Activision games for being cutting edge, especially graphically, in an era where making a game grapically appealing was almost better than making a game that played well.If you are a gammer and want to flash back to the early days of true gamming, then get this game. It’s also fun to watch the look on your kids faces when they see an old Atari game for the first time. It’s even funnier when you tell them it took a machine slightly larger than the PS2 to play them on; “Sonny, when I was your age, it took us two hours to get the vertical hold just right for playing, and then we walked five miles to school, in the snow, up-.
FOR A LARGE SELECTION OF CLASSIC GAMES WITH SOME UPDATED OPTIONS YOU CAN’T DO BETTER THAN THIS!

For the past few years, Midway and Namco have been rereleasing old games in their collections. They would throw 6 to 8 early 80’s games on a cd with nothing extra and charge an insane amount of money. Then along came Activision. Activision obviously learned from Midway and Namco’s mistakes. Instead of 6 to 8, you get 45 Atari 2600 games. Want extra features? Ok, how about TV comercials from the 80s and those patches you could earn for their games. But they did not stop there. They added a truely impressive 80’s soundtrack to keep you going. There are also added ways of playing the game. For example, one method overlays clouds over the game. Another has a large rotating cube with the game on each side. These extra ways of playing the game are interesting, but you will mostly just play the games the way they were. Overall, this is what a collection should be like. If you want to relive the classics or are interested in where the video game industry first got its start, you should check this out.

This game has the classic Activision games for the Atari 2600 plus a few non-Activision games, most notably Demon Attack. Most of the games I never owned for the Atari, and most of those games aren’t much fun and I don’t play them except for a couple hidden gems. The controls are a lot easier than the Atari joystick considering we wore out the Atari controllers. The PS2 controller is much more responsive which is nice. It’s nice playing these games in color too. You can unlock old commercials when you achieve certain benchmarks in the games. The game has 80s music on a boom box which you can turn on or off, I keep that off because I want to hear the sounds of the games. The music is good but you won’t have it on much.I definitely recommend this game for anyone that owned activision games on the Atari. If you’re not into retro gaming, this isn’t for you.

As described

Excellent!!!!! The only thing that would make it better is if I had an Atari joystick to play it with. So glad I purchased this anthology of Activision games.☺☺☺☺☺😀😀😀😀ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ƒðŸ˜ŽðŸ‘✌â˜

I grew up during the first video age and had a Atari 2600 and 5200 as well as a Intellivision. This cart does justice to the classics. They brought back the original games, excellent job!

If you owned an Atari 2600 or VCS in the 80s, you played these games. Activision made Atari games and kicked it up a notch in terms of graphics and game play. Practically the whole Activision library is here, and even a couple of Imagic games like Atlantis and Demon Attack. There’s over 45 games on this disc, including:Chopper CommandCrackpotsFreewayKaboomMegamaniaPitfall 1 & 2Plaque AttackPressure CookerRiver Raid 1 & 2SeaquestSpider FighterStampedeSports:BoxingEnduroFishing DerbyGrand PrixIce HockeySkiingTennisIn addition to the games, there’s also an 80s music soundtrack to take you back in time as well. You can unlock various rewards for high scores (like patches and clips of the original commercials for these games) and play the games in different ways other than the standard one. There’s something for everyone here. Some cute games like Barnstorming, Dolphin, Oink and Sky Jinks. Some games never released on compilations before, like Beamrider, Decathlon, Robot Tank and Space Shuttle. There’s even a game of checkers on here. Hard to believe that games with four bits of memory were once the standard. This collection of games proves that going back in time can be fun. Get this game collection, you’ll love it!
