100 atari games.... so around 2mb of game code!

Still though, if this was priced right and comes to the consoles I could see myself grabbing it for the Vita, play some space invaders on the loo.

space invaders is a taito game, not going to appear here, shame because the 2600 port includes co-op

I find this to be quite interesting. Once you read up on the history of Atari and many of these games' own history, it makes you appreciate them more. Yeah, they're crude (VCS/2600) versions, but they're pieces of priceless gaming history. I'll definitely pick this up even though I have the flashbacks.

Does include a few of the arcade games as well as the 2600 ports.  Plus a few arcade exclusives.

also Secret Quest, Fatal Run, Save Mary and a few other late 2600 games included are fairly complex games,  the 2600 was probably pushed further than any other console. Just compare spaceship to Radar Lock.

No Solaris is a bit strange.  It is probably the most ambitious  game on the console.

yeah, Secret Quest was supposed to be near impossible on the 2600. It took some ingenuity and knowhow to make that one. Fatal Run was cool and Radar Lock's tilting screens were amazing for the 2600. It'd be easy to write these games off like many people here but when you understand what these coders were working with, it's just commendable. Never got to play the Arcade versions so that'll be a plus.
