I presume if you are an older individual that either grew up playing these and/or witnessed the birth of these games this compilation may bring back some nostalgia.
There are both arcade titles and 2600 titles, but to be clear there are 9 arcade titles and 41 2600 titles. Some of which being arcade ports...
Other than the historical prospect I never found the Atari 2600 titles to be that appealing. They kinda felt like shovelware and many of them are blamed for the video game crash in the '80s. Nonetheless, from a technical perspective, this compilation seems to play all of the games included with no hiccups, at least that I could tell. If you are interested here are the games that are included:
The arcade titles are classics and I love most of them, I just don't care much for 2600 games outside the historical respect for them.
Apart from that the music on the title screen is pretty bad, the same as the first title. The visuals on the menu are alright. Same aesthetic as the 1st title with a different color scheme.
There's some insanely cool extras like some internal interviews, an arcade gallery, some 2600 manuals for the games, but most cool of all in my opinion... There is an ATARI 400 BASIC emulator built into the cartridge. I'm sorry but they did not need to add that and the fact that they did really won some bonus points from me. I prefer it over the military simulator in the first compilation
On top of that, there is compatibility for wireless multiplayer built-in, which is just a cool feature to add.
