Editorial Review: Product Description: As we live in a world where video games look as real as live television, who would have thought that it all originated from Pong? Classic games like Pong, Centipede, and Asteroids began a video gaming revolution. Atari, the video game pioneer, is bringing back these and 8 other 2-dimensional classic games, giving it an updated look for the 21st Century and introducing a new way to play them - and no need to dust off your Atari 2600! These classic games are now available for you to take everywhere you go on the PSP system. Whether you're looking for that classic, retro experience, or you're looking for new-age graphics, each game will be playable in both classic and evolved forms to satisfy your itch. As an added bonus, you'll be able to unlock over 50 Atari 2600 titles giving you non-stop gaming action. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good Fun - Great Value - Controls A Tad AwkwardThis is a great collection of classics. I've always loved Tempest. In addition to the classic format, you have the option of playing the enhanced version - both are very cool. This is great to carry along for a quick game. The only caveat is that it does take a bit to get used to the controls for each game. Remember, centipede and millipede originally had a roller ball, tempest had a dial, etc. For some games (the ones just mentioned) must be played with the game held vertically. So, it's a bit ...

Rating: - Too difficult to controlI love classic gaming, and would enjoy this collection very much if it wasn't so difficult to play with the PSP controls. The games where you have to turn the PSP sideways are especially difficult for me. Using the directional buttons, you can't control the speed of your ship or paddle as in Breakout. And the small button joystick is too difficult to use for precision movements when the action gets going. Lunar Lander and Asteroids are fine, but be aware that Super Breakout, Centipede, and Millipede ... Read More Rating: - Nostaglia games to play on the goFor twenty bucks, this PSP title is actually pretty good, especially for the nostaglia value. Most of these games were "state of the art" back a quarter century ago. I remember them well. My favs from the early 80s were BattleZone, Missile Command, and Lunar Lander. These games are still FUN to play today, in a casual gameplay setting, and you don't even need to read an instruction manual to learn them if never played before. The "evolved" games are much improved graphically ... Read More Rating: - Could be betterI am not sure what they were thinking here. You do get a decent batch of games (some of which translate to the PSP better than others - for example, centipede, you have to play with the PSP in a vertical position - understandable, but uncomfortable), but there are unlockable games that you can only get after achieving goals for all the present games. Atari fans buy this because they want a "grab and go" game - they don't want to have to spend 50 hours slogging through them (especially the games you might not ... Read More |
