Atari is good again, kinda?
It's no big reveal that Atari is not really Atari anymore, and hasn't been since the mid-80s. The story of how this great name was passed from pillar-to-post over subsequent decades could be the subject of a book but, suffice to say, it seemed like it was being run into the ground at points.
I suppose the necessary caveat here is that I'm a nerd about game history and Atari, so this is kind of laser-targeted at my interests, but even so this goes above-and-beyond. The collection is built around"interactive timelines" which present trivia about the games, various contemporary imagery, documentary footage and, in some cases, new interviews with some of the figures involved.
That's not to say there isn't real quality here though: especially notable is the presence of Jeff Minter's Tempest 2000, a standout Atari Jaguar shooter which is still fantastic. In fact the inclusion of Jaguar and Lynx games is I believe the first time these catalogues have ever been returned to. There's also an element of the future here, in that Atari 50 includes six new games. Swordquest: AirWorld is a sequel by developer Digital Eclipse to an old classic, while Haunted Houses gets a 3D voxel remake. Quadratank is a sequel to the classic Tank that features multiplayer, while VCTR-SCTR mashes up various vector graphics shooters–Asteroids, Tempest, and so on–into one.
