Customer Reviews of Atari Arcade
True to the arcade classics If you loved the old arcade games, you will love this game pack. I give this game a "4", simply because there is a limit on how much you can play a game like Missile Command or Centipede.
What worried me was whether the games would emulate the Arcade machines well. I would say it's almost perfect.
The video interviews with the founder of Atari are great too! :)
Blasting at the Past
I finally bought a pc made for this decade and was excited to search the software world for fun things to play. Having played "Tempest" during my early college years, I had wonderful memories of wasting book or food money at a corner restaurant trying to move up one more level. I was delighted to see this game available along with the other five "classics" on this inexpensive cd. My only complaint is that I miss the joystick (or was it a ball? Damn beer). I realize they can be purchased, and I may in the future, but for now a mouse or the arrow keys don't give me as quick and precise of movement as I remember from the arcade game. Maybe it's clouded memory, I'm certain it's at least partially atrophed skills, or maybe it's as one reviewer explained that the game is much "faster" in this version. For some of the other games this doesn't seem to be as much of a factor. I think "Centipede" plays as close to the arcade version as I could hope, and "Pong" (Holy Odyssey Batman!) is easy enough with a mouse. Regardless, this is a great value, beats hanging at the bowling alleys or laundramats that still have dusty original versions, and is a fun and nostalgic way to waste time on your computer (is that a redundant phrase?). Now, if I can only find a "Dragon's Liar" cd-rom...
Atari is alive and kicking!
I remember playing Tempest at the age of 8 in 88.And I was glad to see that i could do it all over again at age 20 on my pc!The game is the same as before including the "tempest tubes".And it runs without the cd on my pc which is great.And the screen savers gave me that "arcade system of yesterday" feel!If you love arcade this 1 is a must for your collection.I also have Revenge of Arcade classics.Arcade lives right on your pc no coins needed this time,so no real game overs or asking your parents for more change to play!
