Gunther Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 SEGA repurposed the Master System/Genesis game, Fist Of The North Star for its U.K release as Black Belt/Last Battle. The Master System version changed the characters names and the graphics. Could ATARI do this with Midnight Mutants?

MrBeefy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm liking the looks of the new collection, but I haven't got any of the Flashback collections. So that makes it a little more appealing. I like thebidea of having the arcade games to go on the Switch. Maybe they will have a short documentary about what the high score of Pong is..... 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/337453-atari-50-the-anniversary-celebration-in-vcs-store/page/5/#findComment-5121680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Indy 500 (as Race) and Maze Invaders both made it out on the Atari Flashback Classics and Vault compilations.

Atariboy Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) The only thing missing is Yoomp! (Spotted in the 5200 game selection menu in the trailer). Atari 5200 Asteroids was never confirmed in any way, so I wouldn't say it has gone missing. A few seconds of the 2600/5200 commercial showing the latter were utilized in the trailer, but the same trailer shows for a split second (at approximately the 0:04 mark) the menu where the Atari 2600 lineup transitions to the 5200 lineup in the game library. We can see Warlords and Yars' Revenge for the 2600 followed by Bounty Bob Strikes Back and Millipede for the 5200. No sign of Centipede between those first two 5200 games. So it was extremely doubtful since day 1 and we can now infer from its seemingly now confirmed absence that it wasn't slated for inclusion for this collection when the trailer was released and that the clip from the tv commercial was used purely for artistic merit (And I bet the commercial is included in the bonus content of the collection since it also was advertising the 2600 version, which is included on this). And lastly Asteroids Deluxe for the ST isn't present despite a trailer appearance, but Digital Eclipse confirmed no ST games within 24 hours of the unveiling of this trailer. Since we already knew that it wasn't slated for the collection, this one also isn't missing in my opinion. Everything else that was ever spotted in the trailer, press kit, screenshots at places like the Steam page for the game, or mentioned via social media and interviews by Digital Eclipse are in that finalized game list.

AAA177 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Really getting excited for this collection after digesting all the recent news and game list. I have now read that November 11 is the date of release...can anyone else confirm at this point? Steam still says Winter 2022. And is the price $40? That's what I am reading. I'm excited to some degree about I, Robot, too, never played that, but my feeling is it won't be my favorite game (however, there have been times when what I think won't turn out to be a favorite actually does become a favorite). I was hoping too that Escape From the...whatever it's called, Robot Planet, would be on the collection, but alas, it is not.

The Helper Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 If it is the video I think it is than we are better off. One of the only and first videos that was out on the game was a gamplay video and some english accent guy was reading all the dialogs badly just butchering it. It was painful and it looks it was removed.
