Condition: New
Warranty: 30 Days on CD
Product Description: Six old Atari Arcade classics can now be played
on your PC in Atari Arcade Hits: Volume 1 CD-ROM Game. Choose from Asteroids, Centipede,
Missile Command, Pong, Super Breakout, or Tempest, each shown on the screen the way they
looked when you first stood in front of them in an Arcade and emulated with minute details
such as Asteroids' inability to show three initials in the tenth spot on the high scores
list.
Players can go into the configure box and modify the way each game is played. There are
options for enhanced graphics, a "trippy mode" for Asteroids, and the ability to
tweak difficulty levels, among others. There are even desktop themes to choose from which
will replace the wallpaper, screensaver, icons, and sounds in your PC with ones related to
your favorite Atari game.
Each game is playable with a joystick, mouse, or keyboard and the developers focused on
emulating the feel of the trackball in games like Centipede and Missile Command. The same
is true of the knob used to play Tempest, Pong, and Super Breakout.
Players with access to the web can go to the official Atari web site and enter their high
scores into the company's server. Who's the best Tempest player in the United States? You
can find out there.
Finally, there's also an Atari archives section full of interviews with founder Nolan
Bushnell and pictures from the early days of the company's success both in the Arcades and
in the home with the Atari 2600.
