The games are hard to play on the computer. They are not what I remember them to be when Atari was out. If I had known how hard they were to play, I would not have bought them.

Great Value on item price wise, but you get what you pay for. This item contains several of the original games from Atari 2600. They are nothing compared to recent revised versions of various classics. I wouldn't pay more than 12 dollars for this item.

Progam may work well using keyboard, but I prefer to use the joystick, and game plays very choppy.

Well this game is really good. I'm getting it soon and my friend has it.

Sound Quality - 4 This game doesn't really have sound but the way the beeps sound it feels like you're in a 90's arcade.

Graphics - 4.5 The graphics are actually really good for arcade games. ( -.5 for centipede)

Fun - 5.5 Well, 5.5 is all you have to say.

Challenging - 4 These games are highly challenging. NOTE: I got all the way to Level 10 on Centipede.

Pros:
Still Fun To Play
Suprisingly Good Graphics

Cons:
Using The Keyboard Peforms Choppy Gameplay
Not Enough Games On CD

GO BUY IT TODAY!

I hope this helped.

This is the best arcade game pack I have ever bought. Great price and hours of fun. I recomend tempest. However they are all great.

A fun way to pass the time.

I got this as a b-day/Christmas gift. I usually play for less than a hour at a time, but oh, what fun! There are only 6 games here--Asteroids, Centipede, Pong, Missile Command, Super Breakout, and Tempest--and they play in both retro and enhanced versions. And once installed, you don't need the CD to play it, because it stays on your hard drive! I just wish it had more games!

AN OBSERVATION OF NOTE: In Asteroids and Centipede, sometimes when the UFO's or Spider appear, the sound suddenly gets twice as loud, and doesn't stop until either you shoot the thing or it fades of screen. If I vaguely remember right (It's been what, uh, 20-25 years?!!), I think this unintentional error was in the original stand-up arcade machines themselves, and yet it's "captured" here on this CD! (Again, I assume unintentional.) Don't let this "effect" throw you off. You may want to turn down the volume when playing these two games, especially if you're sensitive to such changes in sound. Have fun!

When I first played the games on this CD-ROM, I thought I had travelled through a time warp back into the arcades of the early 80's! It's great to be able to play your favorite arcade games that you once played years ago (I think I'm telling my age!). I got lots of enjoyment out of it.

I purchased this game set about a year ago. I was amazed how the graphics looked just like they did when I was a teenager. The designers even included a console look with one and two player buttons so it gives the look of the original arcade machines. The sounds are original as well. It brings back memories of the early years before I was old enough to drive. I would walk several miles to the local quick stop to play these games in their arcade. These games remind me of a time when things were much simplier. I hope to find my all time favorite game Donkey Kong Jr. I recommend this collection for anyone who wants to take a trip down memory lane.

Skip this and get the Millennium Edition instead

I will admit I don't have the millennium edition of this collection, but I bought an earlier version (1999 to be exact), and these games work just as good as they do in the arcade; Microsoft's Arcade (made in 1993) seems cardboard compared to this. If you're thinking about buying THIS collection, you're gonna feel ripped off compared to the millennium edition (or Atari's Greatest Hits 1 and 2). Great games, but I would still recommend you try Volume 2 out. (Crystal Castles, Millipede, and Warlords to name a few.) You may remember them back from the 1980s.
