 Great Game January 6, 2006

Hours of fun. Flawless installation. What more can you ask. I never played Black Widow before I found it here. What a wonderful game! Battle Zone was one of my all-time favorites and plays exactly as I remember it. I'm using the games with an X-Arcade dual joystick console. What a combination!
Great job! September 13, 2005

I'm sorry to read that some people couldn't get this game to work. It installed and ran flawlessly on my system (Windows XP, Athlon XP 2200+, ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card).
I think Atari did an awesome job packaging these timeless games for PC. The themed interface screens make you feel like you're in an arcade in the '80s, and the generous and fascinating bonus material is unavailable elsewhere. I heartily recommend this CD to anyone who'd like to relive those heady days of quarter shortages.
To the fellow who gave this CD only one star because it didn't include "great games like frogger, ms. pacman, and donkey kong": I agree, those are great games. They're not Atari games, though, so unfortunately, Atari couldn't include them. :?)
Hey why would anyone said it's a bad game? July 1, 2005

I think this is cool because there are classic games made in the early days from Atari! And Despite the fact that when I heard from another reviewer about this Game I just wanted to let you guys know that other classic video game characters Such as Donkey Kong, Frogger, and Pac-Man ETC! I just want to let you guys know that these guys are not licensed to Atari! Donkey Kong is part of Nintendo!, Pac-Man is part of Namco!, and Frogger is part of Konami! That's why atari release all their classic games on this!

Why is it that everything they come out w/doesnt actually have a collection of the best.. only a few. This cd, like all the rest, is missing the great games like frogger, ms. pacman, and donkey kong!
No Better Way To Drop Eighteen Bucks February 16, 2005

These games are presented in a manner befitting the Smithsonian. This is the electronic equivalent of Hollywood's silent films. Classics of design, where gameplay reigned supreme. It is hard to emphasize the legacy to which these titles have conditioned us. From the quirky Canyon Bomber to the supreme Tempest ( S video recommended ) the nostalgia will flow like a good Sauvignon. Anyone aged 30+ who ever used their lunch or laundry money as an expense account at the local arcade should be legally required to make this purchase.
