"Atari is a very sad story."
The only thing advanced about this collection, is the amount of misery brought upon classic arcade titles. We once again have a port of many cabinet titles that are at this point decades old, and somehow made worse on more advanced and capable technology. It is a crying shame in actuality to even have to try and conceptualization the possibility of something so simple, archaic, and wonderfully easy to enjoy, and somehow making it a lesser experience for people more than twenty years afterward. The most insulting prospect of all is easily the fact that they are inherently broken either. It's not a broken game, it just takes away the charm and approachability of games that barely need selling, to begin with. It may be harsh, but my solemn recommendation is to avoid most collection ports of arcade games, and just play their original formatted versions.
