Atari Handheld

1. Touch Me

 

[TLZ]

Why can't they ever give us the good games like River Raid?

 

[AJUMP23]

TEMPEST!

 

[Captain Toad]

Why can't they ever give us the good games

They are just releasing games from Atari consoles.

 

[TLZ]

They are just releasing games from Atari consoles.

You mean just the games they made? But they do this every time and it's such a missed opportunity.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

No pac-man or pole position? Dat list sucks!

 

[ReBurn]

No pac-man or pole position? Dat list sucks!

Neither of those were Atari games.

 

[AJUMP23]

You don’t want Atari pac man.

 

[bitbydeath]

You don’t want Atari pac man.

Pacmania was amazing.

 

[bitbydeath]

You mean just the games they made? But they do this every time and it's such a missed opportunity.

I just wanted the Power Pack

 

[SmokedMeat]

Why can't they ever give us the good games like River Raid?

That’s an Activision game.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I’d play Food Fight arcade and Miner 2049er, and look at the Jaguar games for shits and giggles.

That’s pretty much all I’d care about.

 

[TLZ]

That’s an Activision game.

I know. But they can still buy the rights if they want to.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I was hoping Chips Challenge & Aliens vs Predator would be there. Chips Challenge is part of the Evercade Lynx collection.

No Battlemorph either, a big improvement on Cybermorph.

 

[Neff]

No Xybots, no Blasteroids, no Roadblasters, no APB, no S.T.U.N. Runner, no Toobin', no GAUNTLET... if this is legit I'm sticking with the old compilations.

I just wanted the Power Pack

Besides Gauntlet I'm pretty sure not a single one of those is by Atari

 

[Agent X]

I was hoping Chips Challenge & Aliens vs Predator would be there. Chips Challenge is part of the Evercade Lynx collection.

There are too many licensing obstacles standing in the way off Alien vs. Predator. Chip's Challenge would have been nice, but that game probably belongs to either Chuck Somerville or whoever owns Epyx.

On that note, they should've tried to get the Epyx Lynx games for this package. Those would be most of the games that appeared on Atari Lynx Collection 2 for Evercade.

No Battlemorph either, a big improvement on Cybermorph.

Yeah, that's too bad. Battlemorph would have been great to have here, especially since it's a Jaguar CD game that relatively few have played. I know Songbord recently re-released it for Jaguar CD. I'm unsure if that's an obstacle, but for what it's worth, one of the Lynx games on that list (Malibu Bikini Volleyball) is owned by Songbird, so they must've had some negotiations.

No Xybots, no Blasteroids, no Roadblasters, no APB, no S.T.U.N. Runner, no Toobin', no GAUNTLET... if this is legit I'm sticking with the old compilations.

All of those games were created by Atari Games, which was the former arcade division of Atari that split off into a separate company in 1984 after the Tramiel family bought the computer and home video game divisions only. Atari Games was acquired by Midway around 1996. Warner Bros. owns the rights to the Atari Games properties now.

Atari Corp. (the "home" side of Atari that the Tramiels bought) licensed many of the games you named to produce Lynx versions, but they don't own the rights to those games. Atari SA (the current descendant of Atari Corp., which is producing this product) would have to license those games from Warner all over again.

 

[HYDE]

Why can't they ever give us the good games like River Raid?

It’s Activision on that one I think.

 

[bitbydeath]

Isn’t this a celebration of systems games and not Atari games? Other ones such as the Sega Genisis mini aren’t just limited to Sega games.

 

[Agent X]

Isn’t this a celebration of systems games and not Atari games? Other ones such as the Sega Genisis mini aren’t just limited to Sega games.

It's supposed to be a celebration of Atari in general...their systems and their games. However, we have to temper our expectations with regard to what games could appear on such a compilation. Atari SA (the present company) is a small company, that doesn't have anywhere near the resources of Atari Inc. of the late 1970s to mid 1980s, or even Atari Corp. of the mid 1980s to early 1990s.

Sega might not be the powerhouse that they once were, either, but they're still many times bigger and more influential than Atari SA. That's why Sega was able to negotiate with companies like Capcom, Konami, and Taito to get a few of their games on the Genesis Mini.

It would be cool to have the Atari 2600 version of Space Invaders (licensed from Taito), a staggeringly popular game that catapulted the system's popularity. Or to have the Atari 7800 version of Commando, a surprisingly impressive port of Capcom's arcade game by Sculptured Software that is widely regarded as the best home version of that era. Or to have the great Atari 5200 version of Pengo (licensed from Sega). All of those licenses cost money, and it might be a big strain on Atari SA's limited resources.

I'm even somewhat puzzled by the omission of some games that Atari SA does own. For instance, why didn't they include the Atari 7800 version of Food Fight? That version of the game was developed by GCC, who also developed the arcade version of Food Fight, and the Atari 7800 system itself. The Atari 8-bit computer version (a.k.a. the Atari XE Game System) version is apparently on there, which was done years later by a different team (not GCC) and isn't nearly as good. At least the arcade version is present, which I'm very happy about, but the 7800 version was a significant release for that system, and it's a shame to not have it here.

 

[Ozzie666]

I know it wasn't made by Atari, but AFIAK Mat Mania Challenge/Exiting Houe on the 7800 is the only home port on any console. Atari did publish the game though.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I know. But they can still buy the rights if they want to.

Atari doesn’t even want to buy any licensing rights for games they developed and published, let alone third party titles.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Activision

Miner 2049'er is amazing. I beat that on the Atar1 400. Looking forward to playing that again (and Food Fight)

 

[consoul]

It's Atari50!
but there's only 5 good games in the collection.

 

[Methos#1975]

No Stun Runner? WTF.
