zzip Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I would have thought maybe adding some Stern arcade games and other acquisitions since Atari 50 released.. Maybe the hints are referring to M Network stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second line suggests a couple basketball games. Third line, possibly Indy 500 and/or steeplechase. Fourth line don't know. A squirt gun and a water polo player.

SearsRoebuck Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Night Driver arcade would be nice; it was omitted from the old collection that 50th was supposed to replace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Salamon Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I'm agreeing its Double Dunk. I can't decipher the others... they did say that there will be prototypes and homebrews coming... perhaps this is what these are? I'm just excited to see more games coming to this collection! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidD Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 For the folks saying Berzerk -- as much as I'd find that fun, there's no notable historic connection to Atari. Bounty Bob started as an Atari computer title, at least... Assuming this retains the concept of being tied to just Atari stuff, the question is what the current Atari still holds the rights to. I'd like more 800/XL/XE stuff... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read they acquired the rights to Berzerk in March from what i read, though whether they would choose to include it or not is a toss up; is still my favourite 2600 game so would be a big bonus for me.

Huh? For 12 year old me there was. I must have played a million hours of Berserk on my Atari. 😆 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't know that they'd be updating / adding things after I'd already purchased it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I wonder if this was already planned, or if it came about because of the Digital Eclipse acquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say there's more Atari connections to Berzerk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say there's more Atari connections to Berzerk I also suspect Atari wants to monetize Berzerk, so it would be surprising if they gave it away for free. They got 9 games from the Stern Acquisition, only two are well-know, so I could see them dumping the other 7 in a collection like this. They could figure out a way to make it make sense in the timeline I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one is OBVIOUSLY Demons to Diamonds: Cornhole Edition (duuuuh!) Honest guesses though would be Double Dunk, Steeplechase, and ... well shoot. I was going to say Aquaventure but isn't that already on there? Subnautica demake?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Cool that we are getting some FREE updates to an already excellent complication. I hope we can see some more computer games added in a future update. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although someone mentioning Gauntlet (not Atari any more) made me wonder... any chance of anything like Dandy or other APX stuff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The 2600/5200 port of Berzerk very much was an Atari title. And even the arcade source is now under Atari SA ownership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
