This had around fifty total gameplay hours for just the thirty games featured here. It’s my feature! I will fully confess that I didn’t put as much time into all these as I did Atari 50. However, while I’m not including any Activision games, I am including some games that Atari didn’t develop themselves. Most releases tied to Atari Games, the company created by the Warner Bros. I didn’t include any games that Atari could just release without having to worry about doing any licensing. RULES: Most of the games featured here were made by Atari but for IPs they don’t own or can’t just re-release, many of which are unlikely to ever get ported anywhere ever again.
Meaning I’ve probably rewrote them a third or fourth time by now. This part will have the thirty reviews that are complete-complete. Which means the other ones, some of which were incomplete and some of which (like E.T.) I haven’t even started yet. I sat down to start editing these reviews on on Friday, and then being absolute deranged, I wasn’t happy with most of them. It’s basically doubling the games I’ve already reviewed. I had intended to post this a couple days after the Atari 50 review, but, when I realized this feature was closer to being done than the Atari 50 review was properly, I decided “hell, why not post this Christmas day?” Except, even that feature wasn’t done. The stuff you would expect: E.T., Star Wars, and Space Invaders, etc. Iconic games made by Atari that they simply can’t use because they don’t have the rights to them. In secret, I’ve been working on this supplemental feature of the games Atari couldn’t include in their collection. Only a couple friends knew what I was up to. And the day before the day before that.īut, with Atari 50, I’ve been doing a little more than people realize. All of this has been contributing to my Atari 50 project taking a little longer than I expected, so my plans to post this review on Christmas Day have been pushed back a week, and honestly, I wouldn’t be stunned if the review isn’t up until mid-January. I want EVERY set from here out to offer as much flexibility as Atari 50 offers, and also as simply as they offer it. Besides, it’s my way to contribute directly towards the discussion of improving and expanding these control options. But, given the fact that Atari has been such good sports about what have been some brutally frank critiques, I feel like this is a project I can do without violating any ethical standard of separation of church and state, or rather, critic and game maker. It’s something I normally feel, as a critic, I should not be involved in. It’s the first time I’ve ever accepted an invite from a developer or publisher to go onto THEIR turf and contribute something for them. I’ve also accepted an invite from Atari to do a feature for their blog on finding the most comfortable control settings on the console versions of Atari 50 for the games that have analog control, such as trackball games or dial games.

I have to inspect the PC version of it and test different control schemes for it. With over one-hundred games to play and review in the set, it’s been a monster undertaking, and I’m not close to done yet. For the last month, I’ve been making my way through Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, and writing a review using my Definitive Review format (see my reviews of Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Cowabunga Collection). Well, I wanted to do something really special. I wanted to post a Christmas treat for everybody since my readers made 2022 my biggest year since 2013.
