Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration

I grew up with some of these. Going to the arcade to play games with friends was the highlight of weekends and after school. This set of games is well worth the money. Surgery every 6 months means I get to play games for not only killing time but to keep my mind off pain levels until I recover. I buy games primarily for surgery recovery purposes. This set of games is the best value so far of all the games I have in my collection.

Terrible input lag with mouse controls. For context, I have the Atari Flashback Collection for Switch and a Pong Countercade with a spinner by 1UpArcade, and an Atari Flashback 8 with the spinners, and all have MUCH more responsive controls for games like Pong, Breakout and Super Breakout than this app. Having such terrible input lag really defeats the purpose of having accurate mouse-based controls. And why can't a PC have as low input lag as a Switch, or these other devices that are much cheaper than my PC, aren't PCs more powerful? Why does a 1UpArcade product have lower input lag than this Atari product? WHAT. WENT. WRONG? Also, no leaderboards, and many of these are high-score based games, so what is even the point of playing them?? Currently Atari Vault is a better product.

It doesn't have all the games you wish it did, but it still has a lot of them and unlike the Capcom Arcade Collections, the user interface isn't the most ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible thing ever For what it is, I think this is actually pretty dope

just empty your wallet.

UI is a bit clunky but if you're looking for a fantastic collection of retro games that work right out of the box on modern hardware then look no further.

classic fun
