Every Atari compilation that has come out (starting with those awful Flashback plug-n-play systems) has made the same, fundamental mistake every time, and that is, the collection of games doesn’t accurately reflect the experiences of playing on the VCS back then. “This is not expected to be the end of the volumes in this series.”Īctually, I truly hope it is. Also, there shouldn’t be a colon after SwordQuest, Space War is 2 words, and it’s Combat Two, not Combat 2. They have most of the same typos in their game list as well (omitting “Video” for Checkers, Chess, and Video Cube). The mistake with Star Ship wasn’t yours but rather Code Mystics – the same developer who put Atari Vault together. In fact, Atari Vault has the EXACT same games, including (for some inexplicable reason) a recent hack of Adventure called Return to Haunted House. Steam just released the Atari Vault not 3 months ago, and it includes 100 VCS and arcade games, online support, leaderboards… In other words, Flashback Classics is nothing more than Atari Vault split in 2 parts.

Here’s the official 50 game list for Volume 2:Įach volume is considered a stand-alone release, available both as retail discs (at most major retailers) and digitally (via the respective console stores) for a suggested retail price of $19.99 each.
