No mention of which games for this $19.99 collection and Midway stole many of them for their own compilation. I'm betting it will be a 2600 compilation like the PC recently got. Would be fun to play Yars Revenge again, for like 10 minutes.

Midway owns the Atari arcade games lineup and the Atari Games name. Atari (Infogrames) owns the console games. I guess this will be a 2600 collection. Just as long as they don't utterly ruin it, and maybe include some rare unreleased games...

Of course, when they release some 5200 and 7800 collections, that's when you can wake me up.

Yeah but pretty much the only games worth playing on those (or in the case of the 5200, pretty much the only games available) were the closer-to-arcade-perfect ports of stuff like Joust and Dig Dug. Once you get into that territory you might as well just play the already existing arcade compilations.

Of course I'd buy them anyway, just for the novelty value. I wouldn't mind playing "Scrapyard Dog" again! Or, uh, this:

Not quite. Infogrames own arcade rights pre-1984 along with ip from console and home computer games. Midway just own Atari Games properties, all post 1984 arcade games.

Wouldn't this just likely be another version of Atari Anniversary Edition? Old arcade games? Asteroids, Battlezone, Tempest, etc...

That explains a lot.
