Atari50: The Anniversary Celebration's detailed Interactive Timelines are a must for future game collections.
Video game collections are becoming more common these days as companies look back on their past. That’s great for game preservation, but collections like Super Mario 3D All-Stars can ultimately feel underwhelming when the end product is little more than a simple port. Atari’s classic lineup of games is no stranger to this treatment; you can play an Atari 2600 game collection on pretty much any platform you desire.
In practice, Atari 50 feels like a museum exhibit-turned-video game. It made me feel like I was walking through the Smithsonian’s The Art of Video Games exhibit for the first time, except everything is about Atari’s 50-year history. Not only does Atari 50 contain everything from Pong to some of the weirdest titles the Atari Jaguar had to offer, but it embellishes those games with trivia, scans of game-related material from the time, and video interviews with people connected to them.
From its title screen, you can immediately access almost all of Atari 50’s 100-plus game lineup. The real draw, though, is choosing one of five Interactive Timelines recounting Atari’s 50-year history. Arcade Origins focuses on the founding of Atari, its earliest success, weird prototypes, and classic arcade games that were released from 1971 to 1984.
Peerless game collection These extras make Atari 50 an educational experience that Atari fans of all levels can learn something from. Adding to that, the game library is better than any other Atari collection currently available. It has the classics you’d expect, but also a wide range of hits-and-misses from Atari’s less successful platforms, like the Jaguar. Even some of the less popular, as well as the not particularly good, games get the same behind-the-scenes treatment as the greats.
