The Atari Flashback Classics collection is now available on Nintendo Switch and PS Vita. Here’s the full list of included games.
It’s all too easy to roll your eyes when thinking about the modern Atari. Speaker hats, weird new consoles, and curious crowdfunding campaigns are among the company’s recent, erm, creative pursuits. That being said, no one can underestimate the importance of Atari in popularising video games in the early 1980s.
Many games of that era are now available on a range of compilations, including the Atari Flashback Classics collection, which was recently released for the Nintendo Switch and PS Vita.
150 games are included in one comprehensive package, and the same range of titles is also available across three volumes for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The quality of the games is as variable as you would expect, given their age, and many famous licensed titles – including E.T. and The Empire Strikes Back – are notable by their absence. There are also a few duplicates. Centipede, for example, is represented by its 2600, 5200, and arcade versions.
However, new features such as online leaderboards, and some truly beautiful artwork, make it a collection worth owning for retro enthusiasts. Here’s the full game lineup.
