Looks like there is a complication of Atari games coming out for all major formats next month (November 14th).
Just pre-ordered the XBO version. Even has Jag games on there hopefully T2K with its original soundtrack makes it way onto it!
Has interviews etc with the creators.
Hope it does Atari justice.
Anyone have any more info on this?

Indeed that would be awesome! I think they are releasing on cart and have steelbook edition (if you are into that sort of thing!)Deckard wrote:Yeah I'd probably have it just for Tempest on my Switch tbh.

Re: Atari @ 50
Plus its Digital Eclipse so the emulation should be nigh on flawless.
So whats this extra "new" game then ?

Like a mega-mix ?
No arcade Marble Madness is annoying but FUCK YEAH - I, Robot.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=462658302051453Vctr Sctr will combine "gameplay from a variety of vector arcade classics" into a newly remixed experience.

Re: Atari @ 50
I was wondering about that. It'll be interesting to see if they find the web flicker GPU bug. I mean, I did, so it can't be that hard, but it's sure obscure.

Re: Atari @ 50
Out Friday. 
It's going to be odd playing Tempest 2000 on a Xbox console. However its quite nice to have to opportunity to play this without a Jaguar! Also looking forward to reading and watching all the supportive historic vids from people that shaped Atari in the early days.
Also looking forward to trying some of the new rebooted games added. Think there are 6 in total.

Re: Atari @ 50
Interesting insight from Digital Eclipse on this upcoming compendium...
This looks like they have done a superb job and exactly what I was hoping for! Love the detail they have lavished on this. Roll on Friday!

Re: Atari @ 50
Certainly seems a lot of value in there.
Had a quick scan...
Vector-Sector (about 30 mins in) is a mash-up for Asteroids, Lunar lander, Tempest and something zooming down a road. Looks cool, but think maybe it changes game style a bit quickly.
Talks about all the Jag games an hour in, brief on t2k but says it is the Jag game you have to have on it. Some T2k footage at 2:03 hours.
It's a must-buy, but then it was because of T2K. Will probably end up buying on Steam and Xbox.

Re: Atari @ 50
Noticed the Steam page details the 6 new games...
Swordquest: AirWorld – Yes, you read that right: After nearly 40 years of waiting, the team at Digital Eclipse has created a new entry in the legendary Swordquest series, inspired by the design concepts of original Swordquest creator Tod Frye. Who will be the first to solve its mysteries – and finally complete the quest?
Haunted Houses – The original “survival horror” game for the Atari 2600 gets a modern 3D voxel-based sequel, featuring more houses, more spooky situations, and more urns.
VCTR-SCTR – This mashup celebration of the vector era of gaming combines the gameplay from Asteroids, Tempest, and other vector-based arcade classics into a single, continuous challenge.
Neo Breakout – An amazing and addictive two-player competition that combines the best features of Breakout and Pong, with a modern graphic style
Quadratank – The first new entry in the classic Tank series since 1978 combines features from the original games with four-player fun in team or free-for-all modes.
Yars’ Revenge Reimagined – The Atari 2600 masterpiece gets a whole new look. Swap between original and modern graphics at any time!

Re: Atari @ 50
RRP for the physical versions seems to be £34.99 but a quick shop around has all the versions at £27.85 at Base:
There appears to be a cool looking steel book version for the Switch, but £45 for a smart box and poster seems quite a lot extra!
https://www.base.com/fsearch.htm?search ... elebration
Switch digital version comes in at £35.99 - that's 8 quid more than a physical product delivered!
No idea about the Steam pricing, but PC does tend to be a bit cheaper.
