Awesome Atari is the best
Holy crap, Airworld is being released in this.
I will definitely be getting this!
Can't wait for this, some quality games on there
Digital Eclipse did an awesome job with Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection so this is great news although I only know Lynx and Jaguar.
Day one for me! I’m excited to see 7800, Jaguar & Lynx games being added to the mix!
Raiders of the lost ark in there?
My fav atari game of all time I'd have to say.
Please have E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial !!!!
A must buy for me. The extras sounds great.
I already own their previous three collections but this sounds like it will have enough extras and curiosities that it will be essential to any Atari fan.
With this and Atari Mania coming out soon, and the Recharged series being pretty good so far I have to say that the guys running the show at Atari at the moment are doing a really good job, games wise at least.
Ok now this sounds interesting. There's been plenty of "retro collections" over the years, but I like the idea that it'll include documentaries, interviews, documents, etc. as well. It should be a playable version of one of those big glossy coffee table books since all these games are available for free and can be emulated on practically any platform including Xbox already.
So if you want people to pony up the cash you need to add a lot of value, and have the best emulation available.
Got to love Digital Eclipse. Once again going above and beyond in terms of game preservation. Looks wonderful.
I interview David Crane Creator of Pitfall and many other classics from that video. http://www.retrogamesmaster.co.uk/david-crane-interview/
Atari 2600 playing that tanks game, Combat i think it wa called. Where it all began.
