This is IMO one of the best compilations in terms of the overall presentation and bonus features.
But man, $40 for a bunch of Atari games is a tough pill to swallow.

Still no Seaquest. Ridiculous.

Warbirds from the Lynx is a huge addition for me. Hopefully they add more stuff from the Lynx, it had a ton of great games.

Glad to see this wasn’t a one-and-done release. Sounds like Atari fully intends to keep expanding this thing. I hope this means that somehow Atari can get the rights back to *Battlezone* or at least work out a deal to include that game in the collection.
It’d be a stretch but I wouldn’t mind seeing *Iron Soldier* and *Alien Vs. Predator* added to the Jaguar side as well (*AVP* might not be possible due to licensing, but *IS* should be doable). Those are two of the best games on the Jag.
Arcade and 2600 are well represented, but there’s a TON of stuff missing from the other libraries that I’d love to see fleshed out.

Huh, very surprised this is getting updated.
For those that don’t know, it’s a lot different than most retro game collections on the Switch. There’s lots of documents, videos, and artifacts in addition to the games, with everything presented chronologically. The play experience is more like going to an Atari museum or watching an Atari documentary, since it has a big emphasis on history and many of the games have not aged well at all.
