Summary

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration takes players on an interactive journey through 50 years of video games via interviews with designers, developers and industry leaders, documentary footage, product design documents, high-resolution original artwork, and a specially-curated list of more than 90 playable games. At the heart of Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration are the Interactive Timelines, which combine historical trivia, digital artifacts, all-new video interviews, and playable games into one singular experience. When you encounter a game in the Timeline, you can immediately play it without losing your place. The massive list of games spans six original Atari console and home computer platforms and generations of arcade titles, the most ever included in a collection by the team at Digital Eclipse. For the first time ever, games from the cult favorite Atari Jaguar and Atari Lynx platforms will be playable on modern consoles. Behind every game are the stories of Atari, what was happening at the company, what went into the creation of the games and the hardware on which they ran, all told by the people who were there. It is a rare opportunity to get a rich behind-the-scenes look at the history of video games. In addition to presenting these Atari classics exactly as they were, the talented team at Digital Eclipse has also created the Reimagined series—six new games that revisit, mash-up and reimagine Atari Classics. Each of these new games is included in Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration.

You get over 100 games in this collection (including a few recent remasters of classics). Thooooo I feel like they decided to go with quantity over quality...because I swear that at least ten of those games are asteroids (another ten are games like astroids) and another ten is breakout...so yeah I would say that almost half of the games in this collection ale just the same game released on different versions of Atari...shame..

Some multiplayer stuff doesn't work and I see it more as a nice collectable

I mean what can you say. With over 106 titles to play, this is a masterwork collection of Atari's history. Fantastic titles like Lunar Lander, Asteroids and Pong compete with lesser known gems like Fire Truck and Yomp! for your attention. The inclusion of documentary components on the history of Atari, including interviews and promotional materials, as well as some excellent homage titles made by Digital Eclipse, such ad Neo-Breakout and VCTR SCTR add a lot of content here. This is a masterwork collection, and an early successful version of what might be a new genre of games in of itself; the documentary video game. What can I rate this past a perfect score.

Musée du jeu vidéo. Hommage parfait. Flyers, documentaires, manuels… ce sera le minimum syndical requis pour des compiles à l’avenir.
