Atari's Greatest Hits

About

Atari's Greatest Hits is a mobile collection of retro games from the 2600 and arcade eras. The base package includes 12 titles like Pong and Asteroids while extra games are unlocked through purchases. Controls are simplified for touch screens though some purists may miss physical buttons. Each entry runs in a small window letting you switch between titles mid-session. The draw is obvious for anyone raised on blinking pixels and bleepy sound effects. Space Invaders and Centipede still hold up better than most modern quick-fire games. Community ratings highlight the nostalgia factor but note the dated visuals may not impress newcomers. At under $10 for the full set it's a low risk trip down memory lane. The real test is whether you'll actually play Pitfall after three decades of better platformers but the option is there.
