Ughh if they want to take this route then fine BUT don’t cut out the single player arcade original game!

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 😆

Virtua Cop 1&2 next please!!

I guess if their NY store can sustain the rampant crime then San Francisco can?? Wouldn’t be my first choice though as a business owner.

Hey Atari? Where’s that Jaguar+ console?? That would be sweet! The homebrew games keep coming out for it (and the 7800) today!! It’s awesome!

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!! 😡

Damn did I play the living hell out of Twin Cobra on the Genesis!! This is a day 1 for me!

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 still say that service sucks for not offering the option to purchase your favorite classic games to download and own! Terrible!

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! 😡

Do we have a Game list?? Looking forward to it either way!

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??

A bit pricey at $20 no?? I can see $10….maybe then.
Pong Quest in the meantime I suppose.

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

@OorWullie if you ever play it exercise some patience that game is hard as hell. lol good game though nonetheless.

@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!!

@LikelySatan thanks for the reminder I actually purchased it but haven’t tried it yet! 😊

A new Outrun or Sega Rally championship would be awesome 😎

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!!

@Daggot the game reminds me of 2600 Seaquest by Activision…one of my all time faves and better than Aquaventure imo. lol

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.

Definitely makes the collection more worthwhile! I was hesitant when it was just the Nintendo titles. Now I’m in!! 😁

@RupeeClock I saw that!! I was all over it! A No brainer!

@LeChuck holy cow that was a great game!! I was praying it would make the cut for backward compatibility! Gotta fire up my 360 and give it another go it’s been years! Lol

Switch 2 Backwards compatibility digitally and physically is AN ABSOLUTE MUST!!! Too many great games to leave behind!

I Definitely expect full backwards compatibility after all the physical and digital money I’ve spent on my Switch library. A larger console memory than 32-64G for Pete’s sake and MOST OF ALL a much improved navigational experience in the switch eshop?? It’s just horrible!! Ughhh! Even the Wii U eshop layout is better and has NO LAG!

Boooo to the 4% who never buy physical games lol

Had it on the Genesis! Good little beat ‘em up!

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Fantasy Zone on the Master System and how it blew me away!! I was a huge Sega fan didn’t have an NES and was perfectly happy with my Master System, Amiga and Atari 7800. But damn the Sega Master System was impressive at the time! It would be awesome to see Sega do a Master System mini!! Day 1.

That’s ridiculous! Plenty of space to include it all physically! 🤬

Again 10 games is a small collection for $35! Taito games are generally very expensive.

I still say they’re out of their minds asking $40 Game Gear games added doesn’t help justify either. Now if they threw in Sonic Adventure 1&2….

The most important thing to me is that it will be backwards compatible with both Physical and Digital Switch eshop games or me and Nintendo are DONE. 🤨🤨
Oh and straighten out the switch eshop! Absolutely horrible!!

I already have 3 modded Wii’s with 2TB external drives loaded with GameCube and Wii games, almost the entire library for both so I’m good and let’s face it if we keep waiting on Nintendo to bring consoles like GameCube & wii forward to Switch most of us will be dead by that time!! Lol 😂
Nice emulation progress to see here tho as Nintendo still continues to fart around with the older systems and charge us a high sub as well. 😡 with NO purchase option!

@Gamer_Griff oh hell yea!! Problem is all those Midway/Atari Games classics are owned by Warner bros who haven’t done a darn thing with them since the midway origins collection back in the PS3/360 days! Luckily tho the 360 version is backwards compatible so we can play it on our Xbox one & Series X! But yea sorely missing those games especially on the Switch!

I think this “New” Atari is doing a pretty good job at being the old Atari powerhouse that once was! Certainly a better job running it than the Tramiel family did! And I’m Having a blast with this Atari 50 collection! Hoping for a volume 2!

Having fun with the. Collection but I’m still missing Atari 5200 Baseball and Countermeasure! 2 great games I don’t understand how they got left behind! Definitely can’t be a license issue! Volume 2 hopefully??

I don’t know who’s running Atari these days but they’re doing a pretty damn good job - better than the Tramiel family did back in the 90s that’s for sure Although I do love my Jaguar! Lol
But of course the original Atari company was the best!
Having a blast with the Atari 50 collection as well!

2 things: 1- BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY with Switch games (digital and physical) for certain or I’m done with you Nintendo
AND 2 - they REALLY need to straighten out the Switch Eshop!! Absolutely horrible! Worst digital store to browse ever!! Even the Wii U eshop blows it away!!

I’d be thrilled just to see Taito Legends 1&2 come back! Great collections on PS2!
