Atari Collection 1 

 

I am so thankful I found the Evercade system and had the money to make a purchase. The Atari Collection 1 contains twenty games from the Atari 2600 and the Atari 7800. The twenty games are Centipede, Adventure, Alien Brigade, Asteroids, Missile Command, Crystal Castles, Food Fight, Desert Falcon, Motor Psycho, Canyon Bomber, Gravitar, Double Dunk, Ninja Golf, Steeple Chase, Night Driver, Tempest, Video Pinball, Aquaventure, Yars Return, and Sword Quest.

Viewers on Twitch and Youtube have been treated to live stream/videos for some of those games. I had a blast playing these twenty games on the Evercade system. It is also really neat that the Evercade can connect to a television and the Atari Collection 1 can be played that way as well. The Atari 7800 games are Alien Brigade, Ninja Golf, Food Fight, and Motor Psycho. Those games looked way better than I expected. Plus the cost of the retro systems and all of the cartridges would be more than what the Atari Collection 1 cost.

These are really retro video games so do not expect the greatest graphics or music. Especially on the Atari 2600 games. The iconic sounds and music are present. Playing Asteroids for example brought back all kinds of memories. I played that game a lot on the Atari 2600. For me Atari Collection 1 is nostalgia brought into the physical copy format. The manual contains all kinds of useful information like the controls. Motor Psycho and Ninja golf are two stand outs for me. I really enjoyed those two games once I figured out how to play them.

Atari Collection 1 can provide a lot of fun for a lot of hours. When the Evercade VS system releases then two family members can enjoy the multiplayer games at the same time. I look forward to that. Atari Collection 1 shows that there is a market for retro video games i the physical copy format. I know there is a second collection for Atari on the Evercade as well. I hope to play and review that one when there is time.

Atari Collection 1 has a great menu screen that allows us to select which of the twenty retro video games we want to play. It is easy to pop in and out of games if we want a different experience.
