ATARI ANTHOLOGY is a compilation of 85 games that harkens back to the days when Atari’s simplicity equaled greatness, and players would spend hours in front of a game without all of the fancy graphics and involved story lines. It speaks of hours of mind numbing fun spent in your friend’s garage taking part in the dawn of the video game era. However, the memory-filled games like ASTEROID, MISSILE COMMAND, and COMBAT aren’t the only things included in this package. There are also several new modes that bring something new to the older games. Some special features are also included, such as original instruction manuals, game-related comics, catalogues, and an interview with Atari founder Nolan Bushnell.The creators of ATARI ANTHOLOGY have made sure that they not only spoke to those of us who are old enough to consider this collection a hearty slice of memorabilia, but also to those who are too young to remember and would still like to spend their own time playing some old school games. That said, it is possible that this collection is so large and so engaging that gamers might have trouble pulling themselves away from its grasp and going on with their normal lives. With perfectly duplicated graphics and sound effects, ATARI ANTHOLOGY becomes more than a game It becomes a time machine.
