The jewel case was cracked on both sides, to begin with. The game seemed to install fine but either locked up immediately or was so choppy I tried to exit it, then it locked up. A few times I had to reboot. I am running XP Home. I tried running it in compatibility mode with all win versions down to Win '95, set the video graphics to a very low level, and increased the memory allowance to max. Same results. I know how to install & run software, been doing it since '81. This program sucks! Don't buy it.

Great Classics but watch out for the Spyware

This is a great collection of the old classic atari games.
Unfortunately, the install includes the power reg scheduler and also attempts to add a browser search engine. In my opinion, the games are not worth the problems of having spyware installed on my machine.

It was nice to play pong and some of the other old games, it took me back to the 80's which I did enjoy so much. The only flaw was that they were a little difficult to control with the arrows keys, instead of the joystick.

Nothing like the classics. All these games and so little time. If you lived in the 80's-90's your going to love these. I highly recommend this purchase.

Well worth the price!

If you grew up in the '70s, like I did, and spent too much time, and too much money in the arcades, then you can't go wrong with this! For less than a Starbuck's cappucino, you get 18 of Atari's CLASSIC arcade games. And when I say ARCADE, I mean the EXACT SAME GAMES you pumped SO MANY quarters into!

Asteroids
Asteroids Deluxe
Battlezone
Black Widow
Centipede
Millipede
Crystal Castle
Gravitar
Lunar Lander
Missile Command
Major Havoc
Liberator
Red Baron
Space Duel
Super Breakout
Tempest
Warlords
Pong

Those games alone are worth the price of admission, to me anyway. And infinitely more fun to waste time with than Solitaire, (talk about LAME!) The other 62+ games look to be mostly ports of old Atari 2600 games, which ARE sort of lame, even by 1980's standards. But I've spent a few hours (re-living my childhood) playing those as well.
If you're looking for cutting edge, 3D graphics, state-of-the-art video games, move on. But if you're looking for a cheap fun trip down memory lane, then you can't go wrong here.
Don't get me wrong, I love my 3D graphics card, but these games re-kindle that old visceral excitement, and instant gratification that has somehow been lost in today's world of "everything's-gotta-be-3D-or-else-it-sucks" gaming paradigm.

Wow. I can't believe you waited 30+ days - I'm living in Russia and got this on leave. Lots of fun, bides away the long winter nights. Cool because I grew up on these games. Easy install, easy play, just a lot of fun. Recommended -

Back in the day!
