  1. This is the real thing, or at least as close to the real thing as you're going to get unless you purchase the original arcade games in their cabinet.

    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."
  3. 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.
  4. 60
    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.

    A trip to the past! It's a win!
  2. Una joya que todo fan de las arcadias debe poseer. Por el módico precio de AR$ 20 se obtiene un viaje al pasado con todas las grandes glorias fundacionales de la industria, ademas de traer una cantidad considerable de extras por demás interesantes. Expand

    Yes these are great games. I bought this for gravitar alone, and the price would have been fair for that alone, if the presentation weren9;t as awful as it is. But awful it is: terrible , worse than 8-bit interface (no, not cute!), frequent crashes, and no updates from Steam. I'd like my money back. Expand

    Terrible implementation. Would like my money back plus minimum wage for few minutes I managed to invest in this lame collection.
