This Atari collection was revealed earlier in the year and is fully playable now. It was said at the time that the game would feature over 90 games to play, but that number has apparently been revised since then since listings for it now say that over 100 games are included.
Games like Tempest 2000, Asteroids, and Yars’ Revenge were a few of the classics mentioned, but there are also six totally new games. Those are all found described below:
