I SHOULD HAVE NO STARS UP THERE BUT I MESSED UP AND I CAN’T CHANGE IT. Red Baron is still messed up like it was in the PC version. THE TANKS AND OBSTICLES IN BATTLEZONE ARE BLACK!!! YES BLACK! TOTALY SCREWED!!! THE FIRST BAD XBOX GAME!
Here is some good news. The Game Cube Rebel Strike 3 has the old ATARI STAR WARS ARCADE GAME AS A HIDDEN BONUS!!!! Select options chose passcodes enter rtjpfc!g then enter another code timewarp to unlock Star Wars enter freeplay to earn tokens it might even have the empire stikes back game too but I don’t know.
I agree it realy sucks that they left out 2600 Basketball. I said so in my review of the pc version. Champinship Soccer was another good one they left out. Why why why why why????
Agggghhhhhhga!! Just saw somtehing called an Atari Flachback system. It looks like a 7800 system made by the people who make those game in the controler type games. The Space Invader one I got is realy sweet. It has Pheonix which kicks butt.

I enjoyed playing these games when they were first popular, but playing them on X-BOX was disappointing. I was expecting them to be much better. The quality of the games was not what I expected.

I played Atari 2600 and 5200 games incessantly as a kid. When I saw this on the shelf recently it was an instant buy. While the graphics and sound are the real deal, I didn’t much enjoy not having the original controllers to play them with, like the trackball, spin wheel, or paddle. Also, I could do without having to “zoom” in past the arcade cabinet facia just so I could have the game “full-screen”. In any event, my favorites are on here, including “Tempest” and dozens of others. Not bad.

This Atari compilation definitely takes video players back in time. My kids don’t care for it, the old Atari graphics are not appealing to youth.

I still remember Christmas 1977 when I first received my Atari 2600, it seems just like yesterday… When the Atari made it’s way into the 80′s everyone seemed to have one. I remember staying up all hours of the night to play these classic games with friends. The Silver Cartrige Age and Atari Comic Books were now popular, and I remember seeing the ads for all the new classic games. I even had the silver jacket with Atari on the back when I was twelve.
Then in 1984, too many games, and so little time… Then the crash, and then in 1985 Nintendo came about. For the next two decades we saw several systems come and go. Then the PC era for video games, and now we have the retro age. Now my kids are playing on the Playstation II the Atari Anthology, we still keep up with the times. Yes, the Atari games have “out of date graphics” but they are fun to play over and over again.
The Atari Anthology and Activision Anthology really do bring back the “good ol’ days”, but I feel several titles were left out… For instance: Space Invaders, Superman, Joust, Jungle Hunt, Pheonix, Defender, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaxian, and others… The Only way to make EVERYONE happy is to release ATARI ANTHOLOGY II and complete the true collection!!!
