If you like good games regardless of their age, you'll love this collection. Almost perfect Atari emulation, on the go.

I've never owned an Atari 2600, but as a kid I had friends with Atari's. Now that I thing about it, their possession of Ataris probably had something to do with them being my friends (what can I say, as a kid I was a toy whore :P).

The List:

Atlantis (Activision's version of missile command)
Barnstorming (I'll go ahead and call it a flight sim)
Beamrider (the first pseudo-3D game I ever saw, it really made an impression on me)
Boxing (self explanatory)
Bridge (the card game not the building)
Checkers (self explanatory)
Chopper Command
Cosmic Commuter (strange game that starts each level as lunar lander and continues as a sort of weird taxi space thingy. Yes, "weird taxi space thingy" is a technical term)
Crackpots (actually don't crack pots)
Decathlon (Probably going to be held responsible for ruining the L and R buttons on my PSP)

And the list goes on, and on like the Duracell bunny so I'm not going to comment on all of them since they're a bit too many of the little buggers

Daemon Attack
Dolphin (the Flipper effect rears it's ugly head)
Dragster
Enduro (pseudo-3d racer, the one game I will never get the hang of)
Fishing Derby
Freeway (call it what you will, it's still Frogger)
Frostbite (still Frogger but you get to build an igloo)
Grand Prix
H.E.R.O. (No ideea what it's an acronym for, but the game is generic enough for it to fit)
Ice Hockey
Kabobbler
Kaboom!
Keystone Kapers
Laser Blast
Moonsweeper
Megamania
Oink!
Pitfall! (what can I say, IT'S PITFALL, PITFALL MAN! You can think of this as the forefather of all the Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider games)
Pitfall 2 (you don't have limited time or lives? Upi!)
Plaque Attack (Yes you are tube of toothpaste and fight cavities. How can this not be a good game)
Pressure Cooker
Private Eye
River Raid
River Raid 2
Robot Tank
Seaquest
Skiing
Sky Jinks
Space Shuttle (an actual, honest to god, attempt at a sim)
Spider Fighter
Stampede
Starmaster
Tennis
Thwocker

The sound track (since not all the games have music) is only about 12 tracks long, but those songs are the 80's condensed in music form.

Worth a mention is the fact that you can get unlocks in some of the games (badges and/or the original commercial for the game - the barnstorming one is my favorite)

Bottom line, if you can get passed the aged graphics and a few other glitches (menu music in games that have their own music and the inability to save unlocks) buy this collection, if only to experience a gaming era... and play Pitfall of course, because Pitfall is 'da sh*t
