5.0 out of 5 stars Great if you have the right controller., October 8, 2004
By Timur Tabi (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
If you like playing classic games on your Xbox, then you definitely need the Xgaming X-Arcade joystick (ASIN B00008ELB0 or B00006I5ZX), preferably the 2-player version. I tried playing Midway's Joust, and the controller was really holding me back. These 80's games depend on "button smashing", and that's something the Xbox controller doesn't handle well.

Atari Anthology contains over 80 classic Atari games from the 80's. This makes it a better deal than the other classic game packs for the Xbox.

Classic arcade hits:
* Asteroids®
* Asteroids® Deluxe™
* Battlezone®
* Black Widow™
* Centipede®
* Crystal Castles®
* Gravitar®
* Liberator™
* Lunar Lander™
* Major Havoc™
* Millipede®
* Missile Command®
* Pong®
* Red Baron™
* Super Breakout®
* Space Duel™
* Tempest®
* Warlords®

Atari 2600™ titles:
* 3D Tic-Tac-Toe
* Adventure™
* Air*Sea Battle™
* Asteroids®
* Atari Video Cube™
* Backgammon
* Battlezone®
* Blackjack™
* Bowling
* Breakout®
* Canyon Bomber™
* Casino™
* Centipede®
* Circus Atari™
* Combat™
* Crystal Castles®
* Demons to Diamonds®
* Desert Falcon™
* Dodge 'Em™
* Double Dunk™
* Flag Capture™
* Football
* Fun With Numbers™
* Golf
* Gravitar®
* Hangman
* Haunted House™
* Home Run™

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Fun after All These Years, March 15, 2005
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Did you used to play with your Atari set for hours and hours? How about the classic arcade games like Battlezone and Crystal Castles? They're all in this collection!

This is just an AMAZING deal - you get over 80 complete, original games in the pack. I am in my 30s and haven't played many of these games since I was a teenager. Yet when I jumped into the Adventure game, I immediately knew all the maps, where to find the keys, were the dragons would be lurking. Playing Yar's Revenge, I became hooked for quite a while, remembering all the techniques to win the game. Somehow my brain has been hard wired to remember these things, and it's really cool to go back to a game now and say "Wow, I had TONS of fun with that!"

There are even full scans of the manuals, so you can read each manual from cover to cover if you wish.

In addition to all the Atari console games, you also get the original arcade games like Battlezone. I was a HUGE battlezone fan, driving my tank around and seeking out the enemy. It is so much fun to be able to play it at home!

It is just astounding that they fit all these games onto one CD. I used to scrimp and save for weeks to get just one cartridge! I would have thought it was a miracle back then to be handed 80 of them in a box and told "here, have fun". I would have played for years on end.

Sure, the graphics are old-style. You get blocks of color without much detail. Even on a big screen TV, it's sometimes hard to figure out what the maps are telling you. But that is part of the charm, of course. Lunar Lander is just as much fun now as it was then. Hangman doesn't need good graphics, nor does chess. Those mind games are a challenge no matter what they look like.

I really don't see a downside here. You pay one price for that CD and you literally could play for years. Each game is complete. There are games for every age group, for every gamer type. It really does prove that in the end, a great game isn't about sound or graphics. It's all about the design.

A must buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it alone for the arcade ports, March 2, 2005
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought this primarily for the real arcade ports. I have had a look at the 2600+ games and there's as awful as I remember them. So that portion, whilst extensive, is only there for a nostalgia kick or if you absolutely have an old 2600 game you loved. The arcade parts are great though. My friend owns a real Asteroids machine and so I know how spot on the arcade version of Asteroids is. Plus the games store your high-scores - an important aspect I think.

Everything is included - overlays, controls, side art and backgrounds are visible to give the true arcade look. They can even be toggled on and off if you'd rather play the arcade game fullscreen. Lots of background info is included as well as fun challenge modes and enhanced graphic options.

If you want pure Atari arcade conversions this is the one to buy - the 2600 games and the background info and extra graphics are just the icing on the cake.

For the price you can't go wrong. Recommended.

This Atari compilation definitely takes video players back in time. My kids don't care for it, the old Atari graphics are not appealing to youth.

5.0 out of 5 stars just about everything you ever had back on your old 2600
Very comprehensive collection, the interface for going through the games is a little overdone. Game play is great, -only the actual arcade versions suffer from weird aspect ratio... Read more
