    This is a great recap of Atari. It reminds me on what I started on. When I was little my dad would let us play the Atari 2600. It shows cool acrade art and has a tremendous list of games to choose from, so you know it will have what you want to play. What I must say the downside is the controls are a little hard to cope with on certain games like Battlezone.

    For gamers pushing thirty, Atari 80 is a window to the past and the essential anthology of Atari classics. For the uninitiated, 80 Classic Games could be the first course book in your self-education of "The History of Electronic Gaming."
  2. A great way to relive some of the high points of classic gaming. However, poorly implemented customization options and sometimes less-than-perfect emulation tarnish what would otherwise be an incredible trip down memory lane.

    With slightly better play control and improved vector-graphics information, the collection could be a definitive representation of videogames from the late '70s and early '80s, but as it stands, it's a fairly average look at gaming's early days.
