Not really a "game" or even really a "game compilation". To my knowledge, this is probably the first true multimedia gaming museum product.
The history of Atari is presented in 5 separate timelines separated into things like arcade, pc, early console.
The artifacts presented here are head and shoulders above any gaming collection I've ever played. Every game has high-res box art and a scan of the original manual.
Newly produced videos with the original designers of the games are presented as necessary context to help enjoy your minutes (that's as long as I spent with any of the games) in game.
Digital Eclipse has even created "re-imaginings of some of the classic games. VCTR SCTR is a genuinely awesome mix of several old Atari shooting games. Haunted Houses is real bad... a fitting tribute to the original.
The collection contains relics of the time such as TV and magazine advertisements, design documentations, and stock footage.
I'm only marginally interested in Atari but the respect given here to game history and honestly to the audience who would consume this product is amazing. I can only hope that this is successful enough to generate more similarly curated museum products, as I would snap buy a curation like this for nearly any company/genre.
