I bought this on a whim during the previous STEAM sale, and I've been digging into the trove of games it offers, and it's rekindled my interest. I've been struggling, fighting with myself to play games, and finding myself disinterested or just bored playing most games, even retro ones these last few years, but diving into this collection was a spiritual awakening. I have a newfound joy and zest for gaming.Atari, you will be missed.Thanks for reading my blogpost.
I've been meaning to get this but I'll wait until it's cheaper. Glad you're having fun, anon.
>>12098456Sometimes you just wanna pick up and play shit without tutorials or a movieslop plot that also isn’t pay to win gacha shitAtari got you covered
>>12098718I always imagine Boxy Brown's theme when seeing Atari memes
>>12098724Hell yeah

>>12098456>joy and zest for gaming.
>>12098456It's a great collection but it's missing some big games to be a definitive Atari collection. Battlezone particularly comes to mind. I also wish they did a Computer Space recreation since it's a pretty significant game that isn't easily playable in any real way. Some other games like Star Wars and ESB would be cool but obviously aren't gonna happen. Outside that, everything else is great.>>12098778>>12099383I'm more of a Rock guyhttps://youtu.be/Dy4HA3vUv2c?si=uI221OQ-TXqImCCu
>>12099397I looked at that and it had some good games but it's missing a lot.>Pitfall>Pitfall 2Those are Activision games so IDK if that's why they aren't included. Pitfall 2 I find to be one of the most underrated games of all time, I personally consider that one of the best retro games ever made. Really remarkable actually, so simple yet a compelling exploration/adventure and one of the most impressive games on the system. Playing that in 1984 must have been absolutely mind blowing.
>>12099418Pitfall on the Genesis was also a decent follow-up, I'd say. Kind of overlooked, but a worth addition to the series, especially after Super Pitfall almost destroyed the franchise.
>>12099570We dodged a bullet when Activision reconsidered the idea of localizing Atlantis no Nazo as Super Pitfall 2.
>>12099582What's really bad is that there is no clear continuation of the Pitfall theme as far as I know>Simple exploration, realistic animal enemies>Face actually sort of realistic hazards like falling, alligators, snakes, bats, etc.>See how far you can get through a surprisingly challenging cave or jungleAll of this actually made the game feel more immersive than it should have been. Tomb Raider I think carried this on sort-of, at least the original one. Games don't need xtreem enemies and boobslop to be great.
>>12098456Look into the gamestation pro. It’s a portable way to play all the Atari games
>>12101020Forgot to mention it has every Atari controller option, on a handheld. No emulation device on the market has a track ball or numbered buttons
Basically phone games to be honest
>>12098746hey you>>12098752
>>12101032Is the thing on the top left a Pong paddle?Sold.
>>12098456can't you just download all atari games from archive org instead of paying for an overpriced selection?
>>12101173The convenience of not having to fiddle with emulators and experiment with a dozen different compiled roms to get a 5 minute game to play, is out-weighed by the benefit of click-and-go.
>>12101171Unless I missed it on the Amazon listing, Pong isn't on the handheld for some reason. Surely Video Olympics is on there but it's not the same dammit.
>>12101182the presentation does look very nice, gonna wait for a $10 sale, not willing to shell out more for games that old
How do you do, fellow 4channers?

>>12098456Atari is dead and you gave away your money to a literal skinwalker corporation Current "Atari" has nothing to do with Atari, they bought the name and started to resell old shit, and retards like you bought itYou can just download every Atari game from rutracker and install Retroarch. How stupid can you be?
>>12102175how mad can you get turdworlder
>>12102175>angrily rants about spending money on things>complains about dead companiesOh yea, it's prime time ESL turd worlder hours.
>>12098456There is just something so special and compelling about the downright simplicity of early atari games for the 2600 and 5200. Pure, distilled, gameplay. Kind of like a minimalist purist experience.
