Product Information

Here’s where the Atari 2600 handheld will make it or break it depending on your own personal tastes and gaming history.

While the NES was my first true love, my dad owned a 2600 – it launched in the late 1970s – and so that was my first exposure to this glorious hobby. Its games may look like cave paintings by today’s standards, but they were immensely important to the history of gaming. From almost the dawn of arcade compilations, classic Atari Games content were released under the Midway banner on consoles and PC's, mixed in with arcade classics from Midway, Williams, and Leland (the company best known for releasing Super Off-Road). Even after Midway had ceased to exist as a company and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment had acquired the remains, Midway Arcade Origins for PS3/360 perpetuated that when it was released in 2012 by WB.Atari 50’s emulation has some but not all of the common, modern improvements seen in many collections: A single save state has been added for each game, controls can be remapped, a pretty good CRT-like filter can be enabled, bezels recreate art and fill out the wide screen. But you cannot rewind these games or watch and manipulate a perfect playthrough like we saw in 2022’s Cowabunga Collection. I’m surprised, since those specific features have become standard in Digital Eclipse collections and I believe they should become universally expected – but I also don’t miss them here as much, due to the largely arcade-y nature of the game list (and that includes games beyond the arcade years, I think there’s an Asteroids and/or a Missile Command on every Atari platform, many included here). 6 Must-Play Games

Nerdling while I definitely think there could have been more Jaguar games some of the ones you mentioned such as Primal Rage, AvsP, Doom and Wolfenstein would have required licencing from other companies.Yes, you can modify this yourself and load up a different version of Android but for an average consumer this thing is still a little clunky and needs some TLC. The build quality is great, with a impeccable D-PAD perfect for old school fighters, it even has two action buttons below that so you can play in TATE mode, something which many handhelds can’t do. Both Midway (I think WB GAmes own their tuff now) and Activision need to get in on the retro scene these days. I don't have much hope for either but Midway Arcade Treasures series was ace on Gamecube. Maybe Microsoft will do some sort of Activision Replay similar to Rare's?
