Forums - PC Discussion - Atari Vault Reveals 100 Game Collection

I have the Atari Flashback 3 and 4. And I hated both. Playing on PC via Steam? We'll see. It's just being milked to say the least. Seeing Atari classic compilations are getting old.

Didn't know the company now called "Atari" actually retained the rights to those old games. A lot of those are great to play though, especially with a friend!

Personally I'd rather have the real things on my actual 2600, but sadly I only have like 10 cartridges.

I had a hundred.  I traded those in a while back.  I was a fool.



Is it going to have a sweet 80's themed front end like those activision and intellivision collections from a decade ago? Would be sweet if they stopped pretending the 5200 and 7800 didn't exist, both have a handful of things going for them, actually the 7800 has some pretty novel exclusive. Ninja Golf is something to say the least, and midnight mutants is a good game( though atari might not own that one),

That is really cool. If they can get access to all these old developers, I wonder why companies like Nintendo struggle to do the same?

because atari developed and owns all of these games, as for nintendo not publishing huge collections, they choose not to. plus they don't own the rights to some of their early arcade games or so I've heard.

Remember sega, taito , midway, capcom, and snk have all done huge collections (shame snk and especially capcom struggle to remember they made games after 1993). Even data east made a solid collection on the wii. Blue Sky rangers does great intellivision collections now and again, activition has made a few great atari game collections.  Probably others I'm forgetting as well.  Nintendo hasn't because they probably think they can make more money charging 5 bucks for Urban Champion again.  Konami doesn't because... well we all know how they operate these days.

Any news on what platforms it will be on?



No E.T. the extraterrestrial? If you are going to sell classic Atari games, you can't forget one, if not THE most well known Atari game on the internet.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

ermmm.... intrest = zero.

Too dated for my tastes, anything earlier than nes is just too old imo.



Where the heck is Moon Patrol?
