Rating:  - Atari Anthology 2 for classic 80's fans!!!
I have waited YEARS for this to happen!!! Finally, after all the years, Playstation II has the one game that started it all! I still remember Christmas 1977, after watching several commercials for the Atari 2600, I received my very own that year for Christmas.

But it contains so many other games that I'd say without hesitation if you grew up hanging around video arcades from 1978 to 1983 or so, you'll find more than a few titles in the Anthology worth playing. Also has the old Atari Home Game Haunted House.
Rating:  - Great games, terrible interface
I have never seen a menu system come so close to ruining a video game. It seems designed to make it hard to find any game, much less the one you are looking for. Add to that the loose controls and reduced access to multiplayer and I wish I had never bought this game. That is in spite of the fact that many of the games included here are still a blast to play on a good emulator. If anything, get this to look at old games rather than to play them.

This was a Yule gift for the grandkids. They love it. Lots of different games so they never get tired of it. A great selection for kids of all ages.
Rating:  - Great value for nostalgia freaks
Atari Anthology offers up 85 (yes, 85) games from the console glory days of Atari. There's plenty of games you'll no doubt remember like Pong, Missle Command, Centipede, Asteroids, Yars' Revenge, and plenty of others to boot. There's also some games you may not remember like Double Dunk, Backgammon, and Atari Adventure; so for this compilation's price tag alone, you are getting a great value. That being said though, not all the games are perfect emulations. There are noticible differences in terms of ... Read More
