Solaris. THAT brings back memories. My parents got me a 2600 and Solaris for my 9th birthday. My dad and I put a TON of time into that game. I remember it being especially hot that summer. If it was too hot for us to play basketball and we weren't at the river swimming, we were playing Solaris. Great, GREAT time.

It's flipping incredible! I finally picked up a physical copy of it recently.

A couple of comments while I watch this. #1 - Crystal Castles was an awesome game, and did control a great deal with the trackball. Try to find an arcade version of it to get the proper feel of this classic game! #2. In Food Fight, its very important to end each level while still holding a piece of food, because it will carry over to the next level and its imperative to have since the chefs sometimes start very close to you. Take out the closest one and then go from one food pile to another like bases, keeping in mind that the fruit all have their own characteristics as weapons. The best are the bananas and the pies. While your standing on the group of fruits you can fire continuously, (until some of them run out) and then use them to stun the chefs before moving on to the next food pile and then eventually, the ice cream cone. Its a super fun game and was the first time that I ever saw an instant replay feature when you had a particularly eventful level., That was a touch that I always enjoyed about the game! #3 Major Havoc was a pretty good arcade game too, I thinks its another question of a bad control conversion, because if I remember correctly it had a spinning wheel (like Tempest) which would explain why the platform section is so hard to control. Thanks for putting such effort into this video, I'll let you know more of my feedback as I continue to watch it!

@@RNGGamerYT I agree completely! One of the things that made Atari's games so special, especially in the arcade, were the peripherals that was used which not only improved gameplay, but heightened the connection of the player to the theme of the game. For example, you can play Paperboy on a console with a d-pad, and its a fun game, but play it with the handlebars in the arcade and its a much better experience! The paddle controllers were iconic, and a great interface. I wonder why no one has brought it back (including Atari with their new console)! Its a shame that people will have a much more negative opinion about these games if its the first time that they are experiencing them, just because the controls are bad. And I agree with you, they are really bad on a lot of these conversions, making them unplayable. The game changes from playing the actual game to the player just trying to stay alive because the controls are so unforgiving.

I am half way through this video and have a lot to say. Funny thing is I just got done playing Dodge ‘Em on the 2600 Plus, a game I played as a kid and just bought. I LOVE it. Once you ge the patterns it’s really fun to get through it and to the levels with 2 opponent cars. It is just so fast paced and twitchy and rewards perfect timing. I think I actually “beat” it which I never did as a kid. I kept beating levels and finally the game just ended. I am sorta shocked at some of your conclusion on some of these games which I may comment on later. Appreciate the efforts as I am sure this was a lot of work.

I got this on PS4 back in December, and I had a similar experience in that so many of these games were designed for a specific control panel that just doesn't translate to modern controllers. Playing a trackball or spinner game without that specific device just doesn't feel right. It's like the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection where a huge chunk of the games used LS30 rotary joysticks, but the turned them into twin stick shooters. Yeah, it's playable, and probably the best option available, but it's frankly just not the same experience. Maybe I wouldn't care if I it wasn't how I first played them, but I grew up with these games, and have more than 40 years of my hands learning a specific way these games feel. That said, Vctor Sctor is awesome, and by far my favorite new game here. It feels both classic and new somehow, amd is a really satisfying game to keep trying for high score. My 8 year old is usually my player 2 these days, and he doesn't have much taste for Atari 2600, Intellivision, etc. games. However, he had a great time with Outlaw, to the point where my wife saw us playing and wanted in. He wouldn't play it on my real 2600, because he hated everything else we played on it save Warlords, but had a blast here. I really appreciate that someone finally decided that Jaguar games are worth putting on compilations. Analog control really felt pretty good on Cybermorph, and it had a Jaguar game I don't have a physical cart of in Atari Karts, so it was cool to finally play it. Everything felt a little faster to me than on my real Jaguar, but a lot of that felt really good overall, so I won't complain. I understand why they didn't have some of the great Jaguar games that other companies own, but I do feel like the console was given a pretty strong representation here. Overall, even if you hadn't played a bunch of these in their day, you gave really fair assessments of them from a modern perspective, and I'd agree with most of them even having memories and nostaligia for most of them. This was well done.

"PC game…"??!! Star Raiders was the "Killer App" for the Atari 800 Home Computer System. Sure you could do recipes, write letters, and use a spreadsheet (Visicalc was on the Atari), "but it can also play games!" And then they put in the Star Raiders cartridge. This was based on a much older game called Star Trek, popular on mainframe and minicomputers. It was basically text-based, with the galactic map and warning messages printed out on the printer. I played it for the first time on an IBM System/34 minicomputer. It was quite interesting. Atari added the P.O.V. graphics and animation that turned it into a videogame. I was startled, when I started actually reading the instructions, to find it was really that old Star Trek game I had played so many years before. If I had only one game, it would be Star Raiders. That video screen in the middle of the display (except for that control ring) is an almost exact reproduction of the screen on my Atari 800. Yes, you did have to use the keyboard almost as much as the joystick. Asteroids, Missile Command, and Breakout are some of my very favorite Atari games.

I think you were generous when assessing many of the VCS games - I grew up in the 70s & 80s and we had the Atari systems. Rather swiftly, come the early to mid 1980s, it was clear the games were losing lustre; given the inception of affordable 8 bit home computers. By the late 80s the VCS was dead, aside from within the hearts and minds diehard collectors and naysayers for all things new. I love the collection for the memories and as a museum piece, I think it's amazing. For the most part the games are a novelty, with exceptions of course. I am not certain whether it is a matter of licensing, but i would have liked to see greater focus on the 400/800 XL/XE series. There are piles of games I had on 800xl that really deserve a collection of their own. We'll likely never see this happen though, so emulation is the better option.

Sometimes its worth trying it out and seeing what happens. Right. Emulation through a PC definately makes capturing a hell of alot easier, so there's that benefit too.

The problem with compilations like these, is quite often they are just the arcade ROMS that have been emulated via either a version of MAME or an in-house developed emulator. The issue with that is directly emulating the arcade roms does not optimize the games for modern controllers. So games that relied on spinners or trackballs would not play well on modern gamepads.

​@RNGGamerYT Berzerk was published by Atari, so it's a strange omission.

Thanks for the support!

I don't even have this game and i can tell you it runs better on PC, there's so many usb atari like joysticks and trackballs out there. Also atari 50 is on steam and for you gray haired dinosaurs Steam is a very good service on PC

My grading scale is linear. A 5/10 game isn't bad. It's neutral. 7/10 is good! Most games fall between a 5-7 A lot of the time, they are worth playing!

@FranklinWilson-ev9dq the marketing was flawless!

Your biggest mistake with this game was purchasing the PS version. I wouldn't advise buying this on any console. However, I do highly recommend getting it for PC. Games like Breakout control terribly with controllers but they're perfectly playable with a mouse. I tried it with both Xbox and PS controllers and it's just awful. Mouse and keyboard, on the other hand, works absolutely fine.

Yeah, you're not wrong!

Technically, Atari's last arcade game was 1995's Area 51, which was a light gun shooter. Even Klax was released back in 1989.

As soon as I read your comment, I thought, "he's right!" Then I looked it up. Both of those games were published by Atari. Sadly, they weren't the developers. I got that factoid directly from the Atari 50 press information included in the game

I wish they went all in on achivements. Have small tasks for every game to complete. Instead they are mainly focused on just a few.

I agree 100%. It was all about the modern remakes
