this is one of the worst atari updates i ever seen do not buy it you wont like it from Amazon.com Not good. The Midway one is the only classic arcade emulation on the PSP that is worth a damn so far. from Amazon.com I bought this game to play the 2600 classics. That's really the only reason I bought it. from Amazon.com For those people who grew up with the classic Atari games of Asteroids and Centipede, this one has it all and then some. There are also updated versions of the classic games, but I personally think nothing really beats the simple game versions of those days gone by. from Amazon.com Back in the early 80's, I was a proud owner of many Atari games. My parents would buy me and my brother the latest games, kids from school would come over to check it out and had a relative who worked at Atari and gave us these chip like device that would play on an adapter for our 2600. from Amazon.com And at that price, it's got to be a steal! Hold on to those nine bucks, friends: this game has two distinct problems, one in every version and one specific to the PSP. The general problem is that while the game touts Atari 2600 games at your beck and call, you have to unlock them by playing the marquee games. And not incrementally, but en toto. from Amazon.com This is the only emulation of Asteriods I have ever found to have that rapid fire you remember from the arcade when you hit rocks. Further more the X button is fire and the O button is thrust much like the positioning of the original arcade buttons. Other emulations have you press up for thrust, and that changes the gameplay considerably. The Asteriods games here are better even than the PC version of Atari's Anniversary edition soley because of the respose of the fire button. from Amazon.com This is a great collection of classics. I've always loved Tempest. from Amazon.com I 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. from Amazon.com For 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. from Amazon.com
