I hope the 3 on 3 football game from the old 2600 is in the anthology series.

I still have my Atari 2600 and games, but it might be nice to get the disc for some of the games I don't have.

"Atari Anthology" will feature 85 games and is scheduled to go on sale in November at a cost of about $20.

:heart:

Sweet!

Wow, I have fond memories of those old games. I learned assembly programming on those machines, I used to work with a group who did a lot of graphics coding for those games.

I've forgotten all that coding, but I still remember the games. Figures.

I broke out some beer and the Atari disk for my playstation last week. There's nothing like playing PONG while drinking. 😉

They've done this before, I don't think it sold too well. But the $20 price tag is pretty good, and that's a lot of games, so maybe this time will be different. I'd rather just play my actual 2600 though. If I wanted to play those games on my computer, I could find most of them redone as flash games on the Internet.

Haven't they done this before, with CD's of Atari games for the PSX? I know they had Capcom games, and a few other arcade companies.

Then there's the Jakks game systems. The current Retrogaming Radio talks about their new Atari paddle system. I remember reading a bad review for their Atari system.

Awesome. I'd buy one of those console things.

I still have a atari 800XL that i my uncle gave me. Nothing beats simple graphics, excellent gameplay madness.

Now if only they would also release that disk for x86 under WinXP.

There is always Roms. I've got an old Atari 2600 and a couple hundred games in storage right now. I went through two controllers on it..

Sure, but have you ever installed an old PC game or played an old arcade game and said to yourself, "Wow, this really sucks. I used to like playing this?" I installed The Bard's Tale awhile back after buying one of those anthologies, and I got bored REALLY fast playing that.

I thought the 7800 was pretty good too. The Video Game Revolution TV show that premiered on PBS last night said the 5200 was a big disappointment and one reason Atari went down during the slump. I always thought the 5200 was pretty good too, compared to the 2600.

I had the trackball for the 2600. You could cheat and use it to play Decathalon for some out of this world high scores. We had at least 50 2600 games. 🙂

Yes but the real question is, when will they bring back Tecmo Bowl for the PC???? 😉
