The dreaded movie tie-in games have always been enough to strike fear into any gamer, as the overwhelming majority of these cheap cash-ins are a perfect example of everything that is bad about videogames, with the obvious exception of GoldenEye 007, of course.
Kelly Bianucci will report to Atari chairman and CEO Wade Rosen in new company role.
Atari has revealed a pack of Namco classics that fans will likely love.
This looks like a fun fusion that collectors and Retro fans may enjoy.
I love how there are matching ghost colors for the controllers. I hope they add a Purple "Sue" controller for the inevitable Ms PacMan double feature cart they are working on. It would seem a crime not to.
That shit looks amazing. If I ever had a "retro room" in my house, this would be 100% needed. The best Atari 2600 design I've ever seen imo, besides the original of course lol
It looks cool, kind of ironic though considering that the port of Pacman for Atari 2600 is notoriously bad.
Can't wait to see the documentary on this. Should be interesting. Hopefully they catelgoue everything and release lists and pictures.
Your XBL fees at work! Major Nelson is such a creeper.
E.T. isn't the worst game on that system nor was it unplayable. I finished the game several times.
I blame 2600 Pacman far more than ET- That game was truly a let down and almost nothing like the arcade! The way I see it, people bought Pacman in droves, got irate, stopped trusting Atari and refused to buy ET :)
Any copies of Custer's Revenge in there?
I still don't know why... why this was a thing. This was never really an urban legend. There was an article in the NY Times, according to Giantbomb, that detailed why they dumped the copies. They never tried to hide it's location, the copies were dump at an actual DUMP... a landfill.
As for the documentary... I now know what happens in the end.
