Speaking of Atari's anniversary, does anyone have Atari Anniversary for PS, DC, PC, or GBA?
The DC/PC one has-
Battlezone, Pong, Tempest, Asteroids, Gravitar, Warlords, Missile Command, Centipede, Super Breakout, Asteroids Deluxe, Millipede and Crystal Castles.
The PS one has -
the same except remove Crystal Castles and Millipede and add Space Duel and Black Widow.
I have most of these games already in Atari Collection 1 but I definitely will get the PS version of Atari Anniversary for Black Widow, a great game that, as far as I know, has never seen a home release.

Too bad their legacy has amounted to a shell of their former selves in name only. Namely, Infogrames.Quote:

It goes to show though, that no matter how large you are, you're never too large to fall.
Yes, it is sad.
Even Atari Games, which had some of the old spirit left into the '90's is now gone.

You can thank Time Warner, and then Sam Tramiel and family, for destroying the house that Nolan Bushnell built. I'm sure he got a big laugh out of Atari going out fo business, as he was bought out back in the day.
Happy 30th birthday, Atari.
I don't know about the rest of you, but watching the Atari fuji plastered on top of those stupid Test Drive and surfing game commercials really cheeses me off.

Yea! I'd like Infogames to leave the Atari franchise alone. Infogames is'nt exactly a stellar game publisher, or developer either.
You guys all celebrated today, right? :)
Damn, I have a TNL addiction. I just read through 9 pages of threads I missed. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't respond to 25 threads and take over the first page. :)
Hell yeah, have it for DC.Quote:

Warlords is still one of the best multiplayer games ever.
Speaking of Warlords, anyone played Lords of Lunar?
It's a Warlords clone included on the making of disc for Lunar:SSSC for PS1.
