they could have easily put volume 1 & 2 on the same disc! bit of a rip that they are charging separately for vol 1 and 2 for 30-40 year old games!

They could have put the entire Atari catalogue on a single disc

These discs must have the least data written on it them in the history of Xbox one!

Remastered in stunning HD... Atari 2600 games in 'HD'?

Of this, I bet 400mb is the 1080p logo animations of the developer and publisher when you start the games up!

An old workmate of mine used to win the highest score every week in his local which won him 8 pints every week.

If you really want a retro experience just spend the cash on a Raspberry Pi. I bought a 64gb card, loaded the motion blue attract mode image and packs and now I've got something massively more impressive than this for just over £40.

You'll also actually only play the Atari games for about 2 minutes each before running out of patience. I'm serious. I got a 2600 for xmas one year in the early 80s and it was great. These days no so great. Just load MAME and play the arcade originals rather than the dire conversions we used to get. At least the Spectrum had some distinctly original stuff, Atari is mostly shovelware.

I remember Pitfall on the Atari with such fond memories. Then i just saw this.....



Kids today have got it so good :smile:

Heat added FD, some great Arcade classics in there and nice to see the physical versions.
Though, I'd agree with others that breaking these into two instalments seems a little \:disappointed:/ compared to the previous Atari compilations. :laughing:

Each game is about 1mb at the most - robbing **** trying to sell this as two volumes!

is this available or backward compatible to xbox360

Yeah I'm confused why this is hot it's £15.99 on the Microsoft store

They're only £15.99 digitally through the Xbox Store, and available now...

with that size could fit the Atari, Jaguar, Commodore, Spectrum games on the disc to :sunglasses:

was it atari that did space invaders, I never seem to see that anywhere.

ET's been deserted again!

£17.86 at ShopTo on PS4 and Xbox One

As someone suggested, £30 for both volumes is far more reasonable than £20 each - absolutely mental pricing strategy there, for what is essentially a novelty product - nobody is buying these for anything more than nostalgia (maybe trophies). Even ignoring the pricing, from a user experience point of view, having to change the disc in the middle of a retro gaming session is a nuisance in this day and age (and this is coming from a former Amiga owner, multiple disc swaps between levels...)

Comfortably, plus literally every 8 bit and 16 bit game ever released, with the possible exception of the CD based games. Storage has increased exponentially since the 8 and 16 bit days and couldn't be much less of a problem. The real problem of course are those ugly copyright/rights issues that have to always spoil the fun, that and the fact that 'Atari' want to make as much on these as possible.

To be fair the two collections combined make a decent little bundle of retro goodness just utterly ludicrous that they were split into two games in the first place!

OMG they have Crystal Castles. Absolutely loved that game
