Yesterday I was in an arcade playing videogames during four hours and I played two Atari classics. They were prettybsimple games, but also pretty fun, so now I'm interested in this collection.

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration takes players on an interactive journey through 50 years of video games via interviews with designers, developers and industry leaders, documentary footage, product design documents, high-resolution original artwork, and a specially-curated list of more than 90 playable games.
At the heart of Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration are the Interactive Timelines, which combine historical trivia, digital artifacts, all-new video interviews, and playable games into one singular experience. When you encounter a game in the Timeline, you can immediately play it without losing your place.
The massive list of games spans six original Atari console and home computer platforms and generations of arcade titles, the most ever included in a collection by the team at Digital Eclipse. For the first time ever, games from the cult favorite Atari Jaguar and Atari Lynx platforms will be playable on modern consoles. Behind every game are the stories of Atari, what was happening at the company, what went into the creation of the games and the hardware on which they ran, all told by the people who were there. It is a rare opportunity to get a rich behind-the-scenes look at the history of video games.
In addition to presenting these Atari classics exactly as they were, the talented team at Digital Eclipse has also created the Reimagined series—six new games that revisit, mash-up and reimagine Atari Classics. Each of these new games is included in Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration.

Read moreGreat collection of videos, photos and other pieces of history. Great hearing from people like Al Alcorn and Howard Scott Warshaw. The game collection itself is so-so. Some of them are very archaic and hard to play, yet there are a few stone cold classics that are still fun to play even today. I give it a 3.5 for a few reasons. One. we don't hear from Nolan Bushnell himself outside of old video tape coverage, which is strange as he usually participates in these things. Also, due to licensing issues, we don't get games like Star Wars: The Arcade Game, infamous Atari 2600 E.T., and Jaguar's Alien vs. Predator. We also don't get any of the arcade games post split, which is too bad, as Marble Madness, Paperboy, Gauntlet and Super Sprint are up there with the best arcade games of all time (and most were designed and programmed from people that were with Atari pre-split). However, if you are a video game history junkie like me, you will love this love letter to the industry.
