Last minute attempt 65640

What's the deadline for the month to end?

54000 A bit better. Thanks for the info playvectrex.

Kudos for sticking with original controller but going the wrong way in those tight spots is just too rage inducing for me. I'll try to play more soon as I should be able to do well with the ps1 controller.

An early try using a converted ps1 controller cause my Vectrex joystick kept putting me in the wrong direction and I'd crash in the tight corridors.

Had much better luck playing tonight 74164

Played a bit more last night. @hcmffm thanks for the welcome

Sorry for joining late but I had been wanting to join in on the fun. You guys seem to all be getting some good scores here. This is all I could do after some playing last night.

Thanks for the list. It's a nice reference for the differences in content between the collection. I made some adjustments where I saw inaccuracies. + addition * should be taken off list

So I have an 8 gold which was good but the player one stick fell apart. I was gonna see if I buy a replacement from atgames but not sure if I would still be able to or how much it would cost. So I was wondering if the 50 flashback would be worth it. Game list looks decent. I'd get the gold cause paddles are a huge plus. If homebrew could be unlocked that would make it more worth it. Nice to have replicas of the joystick though there is the vcs classic joystick available too. Anyone find any alternative paddle controllers to work with pc? A huge reason I'd use this over pc emulation is the controllers and paddles.

One thing I did notice with the collection is that they tried to keep entire series intact if possible. Hence the entire Realsports lineup is here even the prototype despite my overall lack of interest in the series. Swordquest makes sense to include the whole series even if not your thing for the historical significance and cause of the new version. There's tempest and 2000, asteroids and deluxe and space duel. Combat 1 and 2 to go with the new version despite not having the original tank. It's not like they could only fit so many games so generally games weren't omitted due to the inclusion of others. However, I feel like they did try to tone down the number of 2600 games included probably due to the both the timeline format and the fact that 2600 games have been released so many times already.

After every new picture or video you look at you will hear a sound and see a little animation. Also until you view something you'll see a black icon that will turn white after viewing. It'd pretty subtle. I had to go over a few sections to get 100 but it's easier when you know the icon to look for. Also, as an aside I find that zooming doesn't always go far enough like for Lynx manuals.

For some games I wonder why certain versions are included like 800 food fight. But overall I like seeing different versions like multiple versions of missle command and asteroids. Basketbrawl versions are very different so I like seeing both. Same with scrapyard dog. I wish the jaguar version of breakout was on here though I guess it's not owned my Atari. At least they didn't bother to include that horrible tempest 2600 prototype.

That version is so janky. 7800 version is much better.

It's a very good collection overall. There's stuff missing of course but it's probably the best overview of what Atari has done that's been released in a collection. Vector games were given care with the visuals. Bezels looks really nice. Led lights on cabinets are recreated and very old games like arcade pong and breakout were entirely recreated. Jaguar emulation runs well on switch which was an initial worry of mine. The timeline format is very cool with lots of supplemental material.
