"Also, it's nice that nobody ever disagrees with Ocarina of Time. "
I disagreed, I just didn't think it was worth posting that I did.

The Wind Waker, GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas.

"They're novelties, not true enhancements."
And that's nonsense too, at least when it applies to steering wheels. No one with a joystick or keyboard is going to be able to compete against someone such as me in something like Grand Prix Legends. They'd be lucky to be able to even complete a lap. Even if they are successful at it, they won't have half the fun someone would with a nice wheel and pedals. Its definately a enhancement if you've ever used one in a racing simulation.

Steering wheels and pedals are quite popular among PC gamers, and are gaining in popularity among console gamers.
They're not that large, expensive, or impractical to use at home.
There are many quality under 100$ steering wheels out there. Though there are more expensive ones like TSW wheels for PC's (Mine cost over 500 dollars).

"Well, I don't think they own Criterion outright,"
No, they own it now.

Ubisoft

They only bought 20% of Unisoft, aren't we exagerrating just a bit here?

"Nintendo is going to control a majority of the handheld business for years to come."
Kind of early to make such a bode statement as that if you ask me.
-
Anyone hoping Namco decides to make a Namco Museum DS?
They could do Baby Pac-Man with the 2 screens.

I race games like NASCAR Racing 2003 Season and Grand Prix Legends online. They have a lot of non Americans that race online, especially with GPL, they've been among the nicest people I've came across online. Its always been Americans or Canadians that were the trouble makers from my experience in those two PC games.

Is there a complete Atari 5200 list somewhere that includes everything such as 8 bit computer conversions?
-
Four, I forgot about Lunar Lander (I miss that edit button).
-
I count three.
Two of them from the last year years of the decade (Including Asteroids, which is perhaps their greatest arcade game), and Pong that started Atari's arcade business.
That's a pretty big gap. I'd love to see stuff like Night Driver and Fire Truck, and many others.
-
I thought Nutting Associates became Atari. Guess I was wrong.
-
Is there a specific reason Atari's 1970's arcade games have never been done? Or is there just not much demand for stuff like COmputer Space and Night Driver?
-
The poor menues and lack of support for custom soundtracks is a real disappointment.
Also, its too bad more arcade games couldn't of been included. But I guess whatever emulator they''ve been using for years only supports so much, leaving stuff like Night Driver out and many other early Atari arcade classics.
Also why are several unlicensed Atari 2600 games left out?
-
Hard Drivin' is fun, I'm hoping if there's a Midway Arcade Treasures III, they put Race Drivin' on it.
-
"No, Frogger is on the PS1 collection as well. "
No its not.
-
Most of the sports games are like that, 2 player only.
If it mentions 2 controllers are needed, its 2 player only (nothing like Robotron or Space Dungeon on the 5200 where you use 2 controllers for single player).
-
They're 2 player games figgler.
-
Atari Anthology isn't even out, unless the release dates on EBWorld and IGN are wrong.
You found it for 5 dollars? Was it the Xbox version? I don't see why they'd be selling a brand new game that comes out this month for 5 dollars.

"Not available for over a decade? At no point during that time has it been even remotely difficult for someone to find a real NES/Famicom. . . "
They were still available in stores and catalogs like JCPenney's 1994 Christmas catalog. I assume that means they were widely available into 1995.
Hasn't been over a decade yet, not that it matters.
