Editorial Review: Product Description: As we live in a world where video games look as real as live television, who would have thought that it all originated from Pong? Classic games like Pong, Centipede, and Asteroids began a video gaming revolution. Atari, the video game pioneer, is bringing back these and 8 other 2-dimensional classic games, giving it an updated look for the 21st Century and introducing a new way to play them - and no need to dust off your Atari 2600! These classic games are now available for you to take everywhere you go on the PSP system. Whether you're looking for that classic, retro experience, or you're looking for new-age graphics, each game will be playable in both classic and evolved forms to satisfy your itch. As an added bonus, you'll be able to unlock over 50 Atari 2600 titles giving you non-stop gaming action. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 80s flashbackFor those people who grew up with the classic Atari games of Asteroids and Centipede, this one has it all and then some. There are also updated versions of the classic games, but I personally think nothing really beats the simple game versions of those days gone by. Rating:  - Ask yourself before buying this...do you really want to play Atari 2600 games all over again?Back in the early 80's, I was a proud owner of many Atari games. My parents would buy me and my brother the latest games, kids from school would come over to check it out and had a relative who worked at Atari and gave us these chip like device that would play on an adapter for our 2600. I remember playing hours and hours to reach a million and them flip the game (the term used back then to reach a million points and the game's top score would start over at 0) for Asteroid and Defender. ...

Hold on to those nine bucks, friends: this game has two distinct problems, one in every version and one specific to the PSP. The general problem is that while the game touts Atari 2600 games at your beck and call, you have to unlock them by playing the marquee games. And not incrementally, but en toto. You have to clear ALL of the roadblocks for ... Read More Rating:  - Asteriods RocksI Gave this Game 4 stars because The controls are awkward with Centipede, Millipede, Pong and Breakout. It's hard to zero in on a position. I found that to be the case with Missile Command as well. However, I must say, Asteriods and Asteriods Deluxe Rock and I'll tell you why. This is the only emulation of Asteriods I have ever found to have that rapid fire you remember from the arcade when you hit rocks. Further more the X button is fire and the O button is thrust much like the positioning of the original ... Read More Rating: - Good Fun - Great Value - Controls A Tad AwkwardThis is a great collection of classics. I've always loved Tempest. In addition to the classic format, you have the option of playing the enhanced version - both are very cool. This is great to carry along for a quick game. The only caveat is that it does take a bit to get used to the controls for each game. Remember, centipede and millipede originally had a roller ball, tempest had a dial, etc. For some games (the ones just mentioned) must be played with the game held vertically. So, it's a bit awkward at ... Read More |
