Berzerk 5200! Frenzy! Nice 👍 a bit disappointed no 7800, Jag or Atari 800/XE games though. Hopefully next round. Also would like to see some Intellivision games like Astrosmash! Keep it going Atari!
I agree with everyone who mentioned the 2600 Activision library that would be absolutely amazing!! But I’m not being hopeful here. We will probably see some Intellivision/M Network games added first being Atari recently acquired that library of games. Atari has been very proactive lately so I’m sure discussions are being had about reaching out to Microsoft and Activision! 🙏
@YoshiAngemon as sweet as that would be I don’t see that happening with Bentley Bear being the pack in cart for the 7800+ coming out in November and also will be sold separately as well for $30.00. So I’d be very surprised if it was Included in this update.
Good thing I own like 10 of them - 3 of them modded with 7500 games each! They’re packed with classics!! Incredible!! Hope they hold out for years to come!! 🙏🙏
Good thing for region free! Hopefully we get a western release though. Would be Nice to be able to have these classics physically! Hamster collections next!!!
Man Atari is really making some moves! You have to give credit to Wade and the gang for the retro direction they’ve taken. I just preordered my 7800+ and a few new 7800 games never available before. Some were homebrews that Atari just happens to own the IP. The Atari age purchase made that possible & that move is coming to fruition. And buying Digital Eclipse was a slick move too when your focus is retro. Been a huge Atari fan since my 2600 was under my Xmas tree Christmas 1978!! Jaguar+ system next PLEASE!! 😁
I mean there’s over 4,000 games available on the Switch eshop! What kind of sales numbers is he looking for?? There’s no physical option either. It’s a classic indie game but there’s just too many other similar or even better games available to play. And at $20 being too high imo perhaps he should consider a sale or permanent price reduction?? 10 bucks tops.
Although it’s been mentioned above, the Taito Legends collections blew these away! I still have both volumes on PS2 and every so often I pop one into my fat PS3! And both collections were packed with around 65 games and were $30 each! I think part of the greed here is Square Enix who owns Taito and has experienced losses the last few years. But $40 bucks for milestones is insulting! Cmon
Well!! I guess I’m gonna have to buy them all over again & for each console!! And yes I agree the entire Activision 2600 library would be amazing!! Wade should definitely give Phil a buzz about that!! lol 😆
While many could argue that the amount of games per for each of Taito’s 3 collections is very limited AT LEAST they’re putting them out physically unlike Sega for instance and Warner Bros who’s not doing a damn thing with the wealth of Midway and Atari Games arcade classics they own!! 😡
Anybody hear anything about Atari filing for Jaguar copyrights? Jaguar mini? Jaguar+? That would be very cool to see! As far as Ocean goes the SNES version of the Addams Family was amazing! Played that for months!!
I have to say I still go there because I still feel physical is king, but most of the salespeople just come off as know it alls and I’ve always felt selling used games for $5 less than the new copy Is just plain insulting. In fact how the hell are they in trouble with the huge profit margins that come from used game sales anyway?? And stop asking me if I wanna buy protection on the games for $2!! Know your customers- that crap is for moms with young kids who don’t take care of their games!! 🙄
Then when I told them I haven’t been getting my GI mag in the mail they said they’re doing away with it and would I like to buy the current issue? Buy the current issue?? I paid the sub so it can be mailed to me every month! 😡
It’s not just the game industry folks it’s happening just about everywhere!! It’s getting harder and harder to run a business big or small. It’s Terrible!!
Didn’t they say they had 800 titles lined up way back? If this is true I can’t imagine what else could be coming as we’re only halfway there! But if they could pick up old Sega titles that would be cool. I’d ask for Atari Games/Midway Games but that’s a pipe dream as all those classics are owed by Warner Brothers who doesn’t do a damn thing with them! I probably have close to 200 Hamster games. Anyway GREAT JOB HAMSTER! I am forever grateful!! How about some Xbox love??
It’s not just the game industry folks! Big and small companies shutting down their businesses all over the place! The economy has been murder with all goods and services going up! Tough to combat and sometimes it’s better to cash in your chips before you get too deep in debt to climb out!! Sucks
@Drac_Mazoku I’d be very curious to see their release schedule. Seems to me they hold that information very close to their chest about what’s coming up next. lol
@darthstuey waiting for RR, Gods, Chaos Engine and Stormbringer and some other homebrews I picked up off eBay like Joust, Gauntlet, Moon Patrol, Klax and Bubble Bobble.
My 2600+ console just arrived and I’ll be trying all my Atari carts this weekend!’ Meanwhile how cool would it be if Atari reintroduced the Jaguar system?? THAT would be awesome!! The Jag never had a fair shake under that idiot Tramiel family and today the awesome Homebrews keep on coming!!
@Kiyata I would think Activision would consider it if they weren’t making money hand over fist with the call of duty franchise lol. But yes I’d LOVE to see the 2600 Activision library come forward!! 🙏
@BanjoPickles paperboy, Joust, Defender, Gauntlet, Vindicators, Robotron 2084, NARCS, Rampage, Marble Madness, Klax, Escape from the planet of Robot Monsters, Hydro Thunder, San Francisco Rush 2049, spy hunter, Stargate, NBA Jam. I could go on lol 😂
Gotta love hamster! I wish they’d snap up all the Midway/Atari Games arcade classics from Warner Bros because they’re certainly not opening the vault!! It’s the biggest gap of arcade classics missing on the switch and ps4!!
Nice update Atari! See if you can grab the Activision 2600 library being many of those games appeared on the various Atari flashback consoles! I’d PAY for that update!!
Would love to see the 2600 Activision collection at some point!! They made about 50 games for the 26 and many of them were the best 2600 games ever created!! Stampede, River Raid, Pitfall, Seaquest, starmaster, HERO, Keystone Kapers, Megamania and many others!! 🙏 The absolute best Activision collection ever was on PlayStation 2. Emulation was perfect and had the full game collection with a few Imagic games tossed in the mix.
Just got my 2600+ and now Waiting on my Berserk and Mr Run & Jump games from Amazon and I continue to pick off 2600, 7800 & Jaguar games from AtariAge as well!! Love my Atari collection! The Atari of today is managed WAY better then the Tramiel family ever could that’s for sure! Picking up Digital Eclipse was HUGE!
Wow this Atari ownership Is really making some moves. Like a month ago they acquired AtariAge and now this with DE! I’m impressed. Also they’re snapped up quite a few retro gaming IP’s as well lately! And I’ll be grabbing the 2600+ as well and a set of brand new paddles so I can finally play a proper round of Kaboom again! Lol
@GrailUK me too!! Unfortunately we need Warner Bros to unlock their classic arcade vault for all games Midway and Atari Games. It’s the biggest missing retro gap on the Switch hands down.
Anyone remember the first Haunted House remake game that Atari came out with on the 360? A pretty decent game. I think it’s also backwards compatible with Xbox One.
