Please add the ability to reassign all of the controls. I was just playing 2600 Millipede-- the game I play the most of in this collection-- and was in the process of getting a nice score (for me) when the game suddenly reset because my finger brushed up against the Right Control key by accident while using the arrow cursor control keys to play. So when I go to reassign the Reset function to a different key, I see that it-- along with just over half of the other game controls-- are grayed-out and cannot be remapped. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF YAR, LET US REMAP ALL OF THE GAME CONTROLS SO THAT SORT OF THING WON'T HAPPEN!49 found this helpful

Atari has had a few dubious/poor-quality releases in recent time, and this is NOT one of them. This is a marvelous collection of many classics, and many games I never heard of before. All fun and enjoyable, with built in game guides for each game. Though this game is best played with a controller or joystick, it is enjoyable with a keyboard and mouse too. I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the timeline with all the videos about Atari's history. Very fascinating stories on there for those interested.
Padrão para coletâneas retrô. Esse pacote de jogos é como um museu interativo. Prós: Linha do tempo, jogos cobrindo do Arcade ao Jaguar, emulação impecável e remakes inéditos Contras: Faltam alguns clássicos absolutos (acredito que por conta de de direitos autorais) Se você gosta da história dos videogames é obrigatória. Vale cada centavo.
