Pixel Ripped 1978 Review (PSVR2)
I like this new Atari. It’s like they’re trying. I can’t say that for the last 19 Atari’s since Warner Communications sold them off, but this variant is taking some old ideas and implementing them into a new groove. They have released some good stuff in the past two years. At least they’re not just republishing old material. A lot of companies tend to do that without thought. Anyway, the new Atari...[Read More]
Akka Arrh Review
Rarely has an old game flown under my radar, especially of the Atari type. I have a gazillion Atari games, plenty of old systems before and after the Atari days, and I’m pretty much in the know about all the ancient classics. It does help that I’m ancient. This brings me to my point here. How did I miss Akka Arrh? It was a 1982 unreleased prototype of an Atari arcade game. I’m sure it was unreleas...[Read More]
Atari 50: Anniversary Celebration Review
A bar has been set. I’m not sure I can review another Bandai Namco Entertainment of America Museum game without it matching the art, the honesty, and the design that went into making Atari 50. As someone who teaches video game history for a living as a professor, I can without a doubt say that this treats Atari’s history right and truthful while offering up wonderful video game memories you can pl...[Read More]
Atari Mania Review
Atari Mania is an interesting game that plays off the nostalgia of ye olden days while applying the construct of a Wario World mini-game backbone. While the latter of those two brings some of the wackiest types of mini-games, such as trying to pick someone’s nose or trying to catch the paw of a dog to make it happy, Atari Mania uses its library of old games from the Atari 2600 days to breathe in s...[Read More]
Missile Command: Recharged
What in the world are you doing, Atari and Nickervision Studios? You can’t just take a classic, bring it back on the Nintendo Switch, and call it a day. Right? RIGHT? Well, they did. And, damn…it’s good. Missile Command: Recharged is set up on the surface like the original Missile Command in the arcades. There are three main guns (left/right/middle), the player has cities to protect with the guns,...[Read More]
