Review Showcase
Digital Eclipse did a great job on the emulation for the Atari Jaguar, offering up the best, most playable emulated version of Tempest 2000 in this collection that I've played compared to the real cart (which is still superior, but the version herein is very, very good). For this game alone, I was interested in playing this collection, but then pepper in a bunch of Atari gems like Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Centipede, Milipede, Missile Command, the original Tempest and some rarities like Akka Arrh, and that's just two categories. They have a bunch of Atari 2600 and a small few (a complaint, really) of the Atari 5200. There are more Atari 7800 titles and a few Atari Lynx, another one wished they had more, but there's plenty to play here including a few new games with the standout for me there being Vctr-Sctr.

Add to this the timeline history and several very well done videos from former Atari employees talking up the good ole days, and this one scores historical points galore. Would love to see more collections like this from other publishers (cough, cough, Nintendo). For those that love a trip down memory lane with their collection of games, many with tons of replay value.

It's not all great here, like they are missing some publishers that were noteworthy with Atari (ahem, Activision) but it *is* an Atari collection. There is enough to keep any retrogaming fan busy for quite some time. I see a number of my friends have this on their wishlist but haven't pulled the trigger and bought as of this writing. Get this in the next big sale (Winter, Summer, whatever). I paid full price for it and feel like it's worth every penny.
