Rating: - ACTIVISION ANTHOLOGY
I REALLY LIKE STEPPING BACK WITH COLLECTION FROM ACTIVISION ANTHOLOGY! YOU GET 45 PLUS GAMES FROM THE ATARI 2600 ERA. PLUS A FEW NEVER RELEASED GAMES LIKE PITFALL II, BRIDGE, COMMANDO ROBOT TANK AND OTHERS. THEY ARE ALL IN THEIR ORIGINAL SIMPLE 80'S FORMAT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TITLE!
Rating: - great old school games
I specifically bought this for River raid and Pitfall. I loved both as a kid and still do. My 7 year old has fun with pitfall. It is not the same as playing with the joys sticks but I would recommend.
Rating: - Sweet 2600 Nostalgia
This is definitely for those people that owned the Atari 2600 in the early 80s... a complete collection of Activision games (in my opinion, the Atari 2600 games that were really worth it!) lovingly packaged with some cool extras, like the TV commercials for the games, to remind you that once upon a time, these were the top selling titles. I also own an Atari Flashback, something I enjoy but missed some important ones for me, like barnstorming and stampede. The gameplay can be a bit different with the playstation 2 controller, but it's still fun! For the arcade titles, there are some other "nostalgia" titles available, but for 2600 throwback purposes, this is the one I know about. Get it!
Rating: - PITFALL NUFF SAID!
ok it has PITFALL and PITFALL II the only reason I bought this in the first place..
my only problem with it is I have yet to find an option to turn off the new 80s music soundtrack they've added over the original game music.. that gets kind of annoying.. like yuo're playing your old 2600 with the stereo on...
now if ony we had MOM' I'M THIRSTY BRING ME SOME KOOL AID... .GET YOUR OWN KOOL AID... being yelled over it ocasionally..
but It's worth it just for the two above mentioned games.. though KEYSTONE KAPERS was one of my faves as well
Rating: - Activision and awesome
I'm not a kid by the way. Back in Atari 2600 days several Atari members left because they felt rejected and not credited for their work. Those guys formed Activision. And they sure showed Atari too! Activision made great games and this proves it. This is flooded with games of theirs. Pitfall is one to remember. They were also known for Kaboom and many more. Lots of infinite fun and I hope another is brought out!
