 PLATFORM: PLAYSTATION 2

here have been a fair amount of Atari museum titles released for a variety of platforms over the years, but I think that Atari Anthology comes closest to summing up the era. It has 62 Atari 2600 hits, but I’m really pleased to see the inclusion of a good selection of original arcade ports as well, as the stand-up units were always better than their home cousins back in the day. Atari has also included some great DVD style extras, as well as newly created game modes that increase the speed of play or display "trippy" psychedelic light trails onscreen. The biggest downside for me was the fact that many of the games that originally used a paddle (like Super Breakout or Circus Atari) seem much more difficult and frustrating using a console controller. Also, it must be said that some of these old-timers are good for little more than nostalgia value.
