Played all the way through the documentary / history mode. Such a great idea. I’ve been wanting to buy an Atari collection for a while to play through a few games like Adventure, but I was always hesitant because the vast majority of Atari games are not really worth playing beyond like 5 mins. Presenting them in a format like this is such a smart idea though, it gives context and history to what your actually experiencing. Being able to look through high quality box art scans, manuals and even design documents in some cases is such an amazing value. I think the star of the package has to be the documentary bits though. They feel like small rewards as you continue through the timeline of Atari games every time you hit one. I plan on using this game as a means to play some of the games included more in depth at a later time, but as a historical package, I feel like I’ve already gotten my money’s worth. I hope to see other franchises / companys do stuff like this in the future, its like a living coffee book.
