Really disappointed there is no APB. Not the Arcade version and not the Lynx version. Sure could use a donut. It's also never been listed in Atari SA's IP catalog of software that they're willing to license out. Since they weren't a videogaming firm, they then sold all of Atari's IP to Hasbro Interactive a year or two later. Hasbro had a brief fling with remakes and then sold it all to the French owned Infogrames around 2000 or so, which is where the roots of today's Atari SA begin.

Years later Vendel admitted the system is flawed, but felt that's okay because it plays more than the 40 built-in games and that's all Atari cared about... except, it couldn’t even run 1/4th of those correctly! And if that was Atari's intention, why on Earth did Atari bother paying for a custom 2600-on-a-chip for 40 games? The end result is customers Westlondonmist Whatever the case, it's an incomplete collection without the Atari Games titles. I'd take them over most of the aged like spoiled milk 2600 titles.

I started playing video games on an Atari 2600 when I was 4 or 5. My son is 4 and knows his way around my Switch nearly as well as I do. I think I need to buy this collection and give my son a history lesson he's sure to find disappointing.

SepticLemon only the NES version of Paperboy was Midway, the arcade was Atari Games although Midway bought Atari later but I think all Arcade games post 1984 are held by Time Warner. Klax was 1990 so would be held by them too. Atari SA (current Atari) only hold Atari Corporation console titles. Atari and it's bizarre history. Whatever the case, it plays beautifully on Atari 50. It's a shame most Atari 50 owners probably glossed right over this one due to the 70's era graphics. chicane71 Thanks for the detailed information. Glad it worked as Brad had predicted. If you have a way to post the dump files to a google drive or similar, Maybe PM me a link I would like to store them off if ever needed.

market AND jumpstart a market that presumably didn't exist, I don't know, but Atari's home Pong system was hardly the first home console, so it certainly didn't create the console market. It did however drive up sales for itself and all the systems currently in the market at the time, and helped motivate other competitors to enter the market. Instead of celebrating the home version of an arcade game, why not, oh I don't know, celebrate the anniversary of the VCS - the system Grumble there are a number of emulated Lynx games on the two collections on the Evercade that were released this year. Not sure why come people were expecting loads of third party published games on this collection as it probably would have cost more than this collection is probably going to make in sales to acquire many of those rights. Although that Jaguar list of games will probably sell more this way than the ever did on the actual hardware.Neo Breakout – An amazing and addictive two-player competition that combines the best features of Breakout and Pong, with a modern graphic style Press Game Reset on the console.
