Wizzard Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I just bought Vault 2 on my PC from the VCS Store. I also have it bought via Steam in Windows. It seems to behave a little different on VCS. In Steam, it seems I have just more games in Atari Vault game, but here in VCS OS I have 2 separate applications. VCS Vault and VCS Vault 2. Games seem to be the same, I have not yet much time to play with it. It took me a while to find out that I need to use Tab key to access non-arcade games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_B Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I picked it up on Steam when it was in a sale earlier in the year. 5200 Star Raiders was the clincher for me and there are a smattering of other goodies, although I'd think it's a lot heavier on filler than the original compilation. Mind you, with this being Atari Age, I'm sure every game on there will be someone's favourite. Anyone for Microgammon? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockduck Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This "also" batch of games has been treated weirdly based on platform and SKU, but is overall more for the deep divers than the casual arcade fan. I mean, arcade sports titles and some pretty obscure stuff. I like it to finally get a nice port of the arcade versions of Canyon Bomber and Avalanche (aka - Kaboom! basically), along with the 5200 games. So far the best "all in one" that exists is on the Switch with the Atari Flashback Classics collection. Wish they'd consolidate their SKUs across PC and console and just have the AFC be the default moving forward, but that means different licensors agreeing to things, right? While nice for the consumer, I bet this is worse for the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind, first, we´re non "native speaker", and I guess, he´s afraid, that lots of "Contra"-VCS forum members suspect, he´s is an commercial, undercover "VCS promoter". I´m afraid, thatswhy he expressly emphasizes that.... Cheers, andY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Brutally Honest Gamer created a video celebrating some of the special games included. (Well, a couple of his top 5 are in Atari Vault #1 but I'm not posting this in both threads!) "Top 5 Atari 2600 Games on the New Atari VCS, That You've Never Heard of."

justclaws Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 ...and another video about Atari Vault #2 by OEBPete, who's got a VCS. As he mentions, the Atari Vault 2 includes the M-Network Intellivision games ported for the 2600. At that time, there was an interesting cross-over of games between Atari and Intellivision. Maybe one day there will be something similar with the VCS and Amigo, even if it's emulation on VCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine still works just fine. Not as easy to replace as the PSP's battery, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all easy to replace, although possible. Putting it back in one piece is a real challenge. Enough so I haven't wanted to risk it, since Vitas are hard to find at a reasonable price right now. Wish I'd picked up a 2nd in 2016ish. Seems likely my Vita will only work through the power cable in the near future, as I get about 10-15 min of battery life.
