i will be upfront about this : i am not an atari fan. because of its steep price, the only reason i even got my hands on this was because it got bundled with the recharged titles in a humble bundle offering a while back. i think that most atari offerings are not good, even for the time period they came for, and time has not been kind to them.

now, with that said however : i do think this is a decent offering overall. digital eclipse is good at what they do, the selection of games is good and includes jaguar and lynx titles, as well as brand new games (!) made by digital eclipse. i am not the most picky person when it comes to quality emulation, so i couldn't tell you if this meets high standards, but i didn't notice any major hitches.

so, is this worth your money? it depends on if you want to pay for a curated experience of the Atari legacy. i don't like saying "paying for an experience" when it comes to games, because i think "fun" is the most important argument, but i think it's what describes this collection best. for most people i would recommend on sale, but this is a decent interactive museum.
