5.0 out of 5 stars A blast from the past worth revisiting, February 7, 2002

By	Earl Green (theLogBook.com) - See all my reviews

Though some of these games - namely Asteroids, Centipede, Missile Command and Tempest - have been featured on past Playstation compilations before (as well as updated into more modern versions of themselves), it's nice to see them again in this compilation. "Atari Anniversary Redux" offers half a dozen games not previously emulated for the Playstation: Gravitar, Black Widow, Asteroids Deluxe, Pong, Warlords and Space Duel. It's also a big step up for the vector graphics games, with two modes of resolution to make sure the game is as sharp as it can be on your monitor. The cabinet art is a neat touch, but luckily it can be turned off since it often compresses the playing field into an almost unplayably small size. The Nolan Bushnell interviews are nice, as is the slide show of Atari memorabilia, but then games are what really count, and they're represented well here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bushnell's classic 1971 anthology, June 26, 2004

By	Kathleen Kenney (Bay Point,CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In 1971,Nolan Bushnell invented the first video game,Pong.He decided to call its company Susiucchiee.But Later he changed the company's name to Atari because no one seemed to know how to spell or pronounce the original.I really love this game.Plus it also has interviews with Nolan Bushnell,Atari Memorabilla,Excerpts fom the book known as Phoenix and a free sticker.I have this on the Playstaion format.I love playing Asteroids,Asteroids Deluxe,BattleZone,Missle Command,Black Widow and Centipede but Pong was what made this disk great.Buy the 30th annioversary edition today.

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this game because i thought it would be fun to relive memories fo the past and share the same memories with my kids but after playing and watching them play i realized these games are harder than todays games.
Great for memories and a challenge but definately tricky couldn't remember how to play half of them. So I would say not for kids
