Atari The 80 Classic Games
PC
Digital Eclipse / Atari
Ready for some retro gaming! This pack comes with the arcade versions of Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Battlezone, Black Widow, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Gravitar, Liberator, Lunar Lander, Major Havoc, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong, Space Duel, Red Baron, Super Breakout, Tempest, Warlords; the Atari 2600 versions of these games; other console favorites like Combat and Yar's Revenge; bringing the total to 80 games. The Atari 2600 games are only emulated which causes some control issues with some games. Games like Warlords that use the paddles control terribly with keyboard, mouse, or joystick. Also, some of the games, like Night Driver, just don't hold up to the test of time. Also, the interface could use some work. Games are divided into different constellations (genres) making it difficult to find some games the first time. And the digital manual scans can be hard to read. But, at only 20 dollars, it is definitely worth it for the games that do. No more having to dust off the old Atari 2600 to play Yar's Revenge. I would suggest this pack to anyone who grew up with these classics, those who didn't can just avoid it unless they are curious or need some quick games kill time.
Score: 7.4
