    I got this on PS4 back in December, and I had a similar experience in that so many of these games were designed for a specific control panel that just doesn't translate to modern controllers. Playing a trackball or spinner game without that specific device just doesn't feel right. It's like the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection where a huge chunk of the games used LS30 rotary joysticks, but the turned them into twin stick shooters. Yeah, it's playable, and probably the best option available, but it's frankly just not the same experience. Maybe I wouldn't care if I it wasn't how I first played them, but I grew up with these games, and have more than 40 years of my hands learning a specific way these games feel.
    That said, Vctor Sctor is awesome, and by far my favorite new game here. It feels both classic and new somehow, amd is a really satisfying game to keep trying for high score.
    My 8 year old is usually my player 2 these days, and he doesn't have much taste for Atari 2600, Intellivision, etc. games. However, he had a great time with Outlaw, to the point where my wife saw us playing and wanted in. He wouldn't play it on my real 2600, because he hated everything else we played on it save Warlords, but had a blast here.
    I really appreciate that someone finally decided that Jaguar games are worth putting on compilations. Analog control really felt pretty good on Cybermorph, and it had a Jaguar game I don't have a physical cart of in Atari Karts, so it was cool to finally play it. Everything felt a little faster to me than on my real Jaguar, but a lot of that felt really good overall, so I won't complain. I understand why they didn't have some of the great Jaguar games that other companies own, but I do feel like the console was given a pretty strong representation here.
    Overall, even if you hadn't played a bunch of these in their day, you gave really fair assessments of them from a modern perspective, and I'd agree with most of them even having memories and nostaligia for most of them. This was well done.

    • @RNGGamerYT
      @RNGGamerYT  Рік тому +1

      Thank you for such a thorough comment. I'm glad you felt the same way as me for most of the games.
      Emulation on the Jaguar is so difficult that I'm surprised they got it to work at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it did run a little faster than normal.
      That's cool about your son playing Outlaw with you.
      And, thanks for watching!

    I am half way through this video and have a lot to say. Funny thing is I just got done playing Dodge ‘Em on the 2600 Plus, a game I played as a kid and just bought. I LOVE it. Once you ge the patterns it’s really fun to get through it and to the levels with 2 opponent cars. It is just so fast paced and twitchy and rewards perfect timing. I think I actually “beat” it which I never did as a kid. I kept beating levels and finally the game just ended. I am sorta shocked at some of your conclusion on some of these games which I may comment on later. Appreciate the efforts as I am sure this was a lot of work.

      Thanks so much for watching this video. I spent over 150 hours of gameplay (that's how much footage I recorded), it took about 4 hours to film the video, and about 40 hours to edit it. It was a monumental undertaking for me.
      It's awesome that you got so good at dodge 'em. There are a lot of games in this collection that I wish I had more time to develop my skills.

      @@RNGGamerYT Wow that’s some serious commitment thanks again. It really is a service for us retro gamers. It made me pull out Atari Anthology on Xbox to play Major Havoc, pretty cool. I don’t have Atari 50 yet but looks like a must own.
      It was crazy with Dodge ‘Em as after about 10 minutes my muscle memory from 40 years ago kicked in and I actually remembered the patterns. Once you get a pattern that works the AI isn’t too smart but your timing has to be on and it’s easy to miss a lane change.

    The control issue with Missile Command (Arcade) and Crystal Castles (Arcade) can sort of be rectified by lowering the sensitivity down to 2. It's still pretty hard to use, but easier to control.

    A Great expansive review! I have the Atari Flashback series (on Xbox, it’s 3 separate disks). I think that’s a good compilation, and as always some stinkers or hard to play titles. A lot of the games are the same but as usual, there’s a few new ones here and new systems not on the Flashback series.

    Man, Bounty Bob Strikes Back is a great game! I could see that you weren't aware you're able to control your jumps by pushing the button first, and then the stick after a pause inverse in length to the jump. Should make it a lot more easy and fun! Some of the later levels provided some really innovative mechanics.

    "PC game…"??!!
    Star Raiders was the "Killer App" for the Atari 800 Home Computer System. Sure you could do recipes, write letters, and use a spreadsheet (Visicalc was on the Atari), "but it can also play games!" And then they put in the Star Raiders cartridge.
    This was based on a much older game called Star Trek, popular on mainframe and minicomputers. It was basically text-based, with the galactic map and warning messages printed out on the printer. I played it for the first time on an IBM System/34 minicomputer. It was quite interesting.
    Atari added the P.O.V. graphics and animation that turned it into a videogame.
    I was startled, when I started actually reading the instructions, to find it was really that old Star Trek game I had played so many years before.
    If I had only one game, it would be Star Raiders.
    That video screen in the middle of the display (except for that control ring) is an almost exact reproduction of the screen on my Atari 800. Yes, you did have to use the keyboard almost as much as the joystick.
    Asteroids, Missile Command, and Breakout are some of my very favorite Atari games.

    The problem with compilations like these, is quite often they are just the arcade ROMS that have been emulated via either a version of MAME or an in-house developed emulator. The issue with that is directly emulating the arcade roms does not optimize the games for modern controllers. So games that relied on spinners or trackballs would not play well on modern gamepads.

    • @RNGGamerYT
      @RNGGamerYT  3 місяці тому

      You're right! But, this is the best they have ever been emulated on a compilation. If they had a trackball and spinner peripheral for the PS5, I would definitely have picked up a couple of them

    I think you were generous when assessing many of the VCS games - I grew up in the 70s & 80s and we had the Atari systems.
    Rather swiftly, come the early to mid 1980s, it was clear the games were losing lustre; given the inception of affordable 8 bit home computers.
    By the late 80s the VCS was dead, aside from within the hearts and minds diehard collectors and naysayers for all things new.
    I love the collection for the memories and as a museum piece, I think it's amazing.
    For the most part the games are a novelty, with exceptions of course.
    I am not certain whether it is a matter of licensing, but i would have liked to see greater focus on the 400/800 XL/XE series.
    There are piles of games I had on 800xl that really deserve a collection of their own.
    We'll likely never see this happen though, so emulation is the better option.

      Not at all - I would rate the majority of VCS titles (nowadays) a sub 5.
      Many would barely scrape beyond a 3 imo
      It's difficult, as I grew up with these and my 9 year old self would say 10 for all games.
      Even Adventure which is a so-called classic, nowadays, with all that we have and take for granted in gaming, without rose tinted spectacles, is a bad game.
      But these helped lay the groundwork for all that followed, so in that sense as "objects" they are worth inspecting.
      The triumph of the collection is the care and dedication clearly poured into the presentation.
      The Jeff Minter collection due out this year will be interesting from the same team & hopefully we'll see other additions down the line.

    Checking this out now. Can tell you put alot of work into this one. Same thing with me. Nostalgia is fun but for me gameplay is king. I also prefer playing games through emulation with sharper visuals on a modern display, filters, etc. I only played games on my 13 inch CRT because thats what was available. Playing games through the RF switch on the Atari 2600 with all the static looked like shit to me back then. No interest in recreating that. Its all personal preferrence though. Theres no universal right answer.

    • @RNGGamerYT
      @RNGGamerYT  4 місяці тому +1

      I tend to stick with playing the games the way the developers intended. I never cared about visuals until I started capturing gameplay footage for the channel.
      This video took a couple hundred hours to complete between playing the games, filming, and editing. I will never do it again unless some company sponsors me with a boatload of cash to do it.
      This video sat at like 500 views for months until here recently

    • @theconsolekiller7113
      @theconsolekiller7113 4 місяці тому +1

      Very nice. Yea it seems like a massive amount of work. I only do some simple editing, like editing deaths out of runs of games that have unlimited continues or adding voiceovers to the footage. My views are also real low and its more of a journal, so unless I was getting some kickback I probably wouldnt do it either. Can really appreciate what went into it though. Sometimes its worth trying it out and seeing what happens.
      Right. Emulation through a PC definately makes capturing a hell of alot easier, so there's that benefit too. I dont think I really became obsessed with visuals until around the 7th console gen. At that point I needed to upgrade to a widescreen TV and that started a whole shitstorm, since LCD's really werent doing it for me.@@RNGGamerYT

      Appreciate that. Most of the commentary videos either have the word Review or Tutorial in the title. Things like Trying It Out Series or Playing With Sh!t are usually just brief videos of me trying out a game. I use those more as a referrence to see which games I tried, and why I may not have completed them. I sample alot of games before deciding which ones to try and complete. ive been trying to get new reviews out every Monday again at around 6pm EST.
      I know how that is. Theres something about physical you can never replicate digitally. I made the transition back around 99 when I started embracing an emulation machine heavily and sold everything that was well emulated, at that time. By this point Im pretty conditioned to sell things that are well emulated, but you lose that physical connection.@@RNGGamerYT

    Love my Atari days but this package unfortunately is missing so much from the 2600 that I didn't get much from it. I would recommend it just in terms of the content and the interesting history you get but as you say, the analog control on games such as Breakout etc is dire. Worth getting cheap I would personally say but it's definitely not incredible
    I would say that the term pixel perfect doesn't apply to Bounty Bob. Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy require literally for you to be on the the last pixel of a platform to make some of the jumps but Bounty Bob is way more lenient with around 3 or four pixels at the most on average and certainly no lined up one pixel jumps required

      just the sheer content makes the package of course but had it seen some Activision and Imagic games in there then I'd very much rate it higher but of course they're not actually Atari.

    Your biggest mistake with this game was purchasing the PS version. I wouldn't advise buying this on any console. However, I do highly recommend getting it for PC. Games like Breakout control terribly with controllers but they're perfectly playable with a mouse. I tried it with both Xbox and PS controllers and it's just awful. Mouse and keyboard, on the other hand, works absolutely fine.
