I wish Activision would re-release their 2600 game collection like they did on PS1 way back when. I play it on my PS3 from time to time. Maybe Uncle Phil will bless once Activision comes home

Already ordered it on Xbox and unlocks at 11:00 pm tonight.
I'm sure it will be great as it's made by Digital Eclipse (who did the Cowabunga Collection). Haven't seen reviews yet.......which is odd.

I’ll get it eventually. I’ve got a bunch of art books, movies, and etc about Atari. I love hearing about how the first pong machine wouldn’t work because it was filled with quarters.
There’s a good film I watched on GOG years ago that’s worth checking out, Once Upon Atari. https://www.gog.com/movie/once_upon...MI2PLqwbil-wIVZciUCR28_AzFEAAYASAAEgLjTvD_BwE
Another good read: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2011/03/pong-excerpt-201103/amp

I think you would like the stories. I have watched a couple and they have been great with the timeline.

My problem with these collections is always that playing the paddle games with a thumbstick feels bad.

This package is great with all the artwork, interviews, print ads and commercials. I've played Tempest 2000, Cybermorph, Atari Karts, Club Drive, Miner 2049er (400/800) Yoomp! and Millipede (5200). From what I played so far the emulation is solid as well.

Club Drive way ahead of it's time only mistake is using a car instead of a person. Emulators would crash running it now people can play it without having to buy a cat but the emulator they use still has many problems so even in this collection, they can't get it to run like the original release but at least the emulator doesn't crash. First open world driving racing platforming game with many multiplayer modes.

T2K is the reason I bought this. I elected to buy this for Switch so I could play it on the go but I'm going to have to buy it on a big kid console, too.This package is great with all the artwork, interviews, print ads and commercials.

Or just dock my Switch I guess.

I got my PS4 disc earlier today. I've toyed around with it for a few minutes. The emulation is OK on the surface, but is kind of sparse on features. I think the colors are off on a couple of the 2600 games that I tried. There also seems to be some control lag, or maybe I was a bit rusty today. I'll have a lot more time to play over the weekend, and make some comparisons with the same games on other compilations (on PS4 as well as other modern platforms).
The museum stuff, on the other hand, is outstanding! It's quite possibly the best historical archive of any classic game compilation, Atari or otherwise. They've collected a great deal of scanned documents and video clips, and thoughtfully arranged it into an interactive timeline of the company's history.
Also, I didn't receive the copy of Gravitar: Recharged that was supposed to be a bonus for preordering the game (from Best Buy). Their Web site says they will email it to me "when it's ready".

I played this last night. The museum stuff is really excellent, and I like how the games are integrated into it rather than the other way around.

Those aren't Atari games.
Almost as if the company that made Call of Duty is the one that made these games and not Atari.

Gonna try this when I get home. I am excited for good Jaguar emulation and I wonder if this will be modded to support any Jag game.
By the way, Tempest fans, Digital Eclipse is also planning a Llamasoft collection, which was leaked by the same filing that Atari 50 was and which Llamasoft recently reconfirmed on their forums.

Played Tempest a short bit. Seems ok. Experienced some slowdowns, maybe also present on the original Jaguar HW.
You can choose three display modes.
Original, which is native Resolution,
Full screen 4:3 and a stretch Mode to 16:9 witch is useless in my Opinion.
You can also apply a Crt Filter which looks good for me.
The rest is very well done. A cool idea combining these classic games with this awesome presented Storyline. Very cool!

No kidding. Once I pulled 36 hours straight implementing software features on the fly from inside a warehouse where we were doing an installation to keep the company from losing a $12 million contract and I got a handwritten certificate of appreciation. When I found out that the salesperson who promised stuff that didn't exist got a 6 figure commission after the customer gave their approval I quit.

Just curious what you think is wrong with Club Drive on the Atari 50 compilation? I'm playing on Xbox and besides a few features missing due to lack of the keypad, the emulation seems spot on to me.

Digital Eclipse have done a great job but I can’t help but feel a little disappointed and underwhelmed by the amount of Lynx and Jaguar games.
I know they likely ran into licensing issues, still, to have the likes of Chips Challenge, Blue Lightning, Chequered Flag , BattleMorph not on there is sad.

Its a really nice package, very interesting actually.
I just wish the Jaguar games, and other 3D games, could of been ran at a higher resolution and framerate. Tempest 2000 at 4k/60 would of meant buying this package just for that game would of been worth it imo.
Also that 'Fight for Life' Jaguar fighting game, its shit but seeing textured polygon fighters on Jag is pretty cool. Looks better graphically than Virtua Fighter on the 32X.

Probably licending problems but i wouldnt be surprised if we got a 'Vol 2. release with more Jag games.
I would of easily paid $70+ for this if it had come with the full Jag catalogue.

It's the best version of Tempest, Tempest 2000. Not sure who owns the corpse of VM Labs.

Nah. These games are for the psychedelic experience and 3000 has the best visuals and music for this.

Best visuals maybe, but best music? Nahhhhhhh

There's quite a bit missing, the game runs pretty bad in some tracks and lack of numpad removes some core gameplay features and the ability to change cameras, Some objects don't even render.

It's a huge shame I don't really care for Atari games, as the museum and huge collection of games is insane.
I'd love to see something like this for sega.
With master system, gamegear, megadrive, sega cd, Saturn & Dreamcast games & the museum stuff, videos/adverts etc
It would be incredible!
Edit: most the Atari stuff is before my time, I had a Jaguar with cybermorph for a whole day before taking it back, I really really hated that game so much

Picked this up today on switch, not really fair to class this just as another retro game compilation it's way more than that i'd class it as an interactive museum where you can also try the games out. The amount of work they have put in sets the bar on what retro collections should try to do. While i'd have loved to see more games in the collection i'm kind of spoilt as 10 mins away is a pay once freeplay arcade where you can play hundreds of classics including pretty much everything atari had. I bought this more for the museum history side.
Bonus point that they made sure to try and give a decent replication of the originals the actually non shit scanlines and bezel borders are a great touch as is the vector glow while no tv can really replicate the intense glow of a real vector monitor it's a nice attempt.

Yeah the green lady in Cybermorph is still annoying, not helped by the fact I’m absolutely shit at the game. Have a real soft spot for the Jag tho and Atari Karts is better than what I thought it would be.
