PongHit Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hi: The GBA Activision Anthology got plenty of coverage here, but has anyone reviewed the PC or MAC versions yet? If so, I guess I missed it... Anyone? -PongHit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 The Mac version is still in the works. I haven't heard much about it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongHit Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 The Mac version is still in the works. I haven't heard much about it so far. Not true -- my copy of the MAC vers. arrived from Amazon yesterday! -PongHit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PongHit Posted January 19, 2004 Author Share Posted January 19, 2004 Want some details? I already had the PS2 Anthology & the GBA version, but this one is the best yet... They call it the "Remix Edition," partly because there's a 'new' batch of '80s music included... but what's really cool is: you can use any music you want! You can use your own MP3 playlists -- like iTunes, etc., OR streaming internet radio stations! And you can pre-select 5 stations & then select them on the 'virtual' boom box from within the interface! There's a total of 76 games. I was dissappointed that the GBA vers. didn't have any Imagic games, but this one includes all the Imagic titles -- many of which aren't on the PS2 vers. AND it includes all the homebrews that were on the GBA version! Plus, if you're into cheating, you can watch the commericals & other videos directly from the CD -- without 'earning' the unlocks. Oh yeah, another feature not in the PS2 version: this one saves scores! -PongHit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote a little something on the PC version in the Anthology REMIX goes dloG thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 The thing that I dislike about the version for the PC is that it takes a much more powerful computer than what I currently have. Too bad. It sounds like some of the new features would have made an already fun program that much better. Guess I will have to stick to my PS2 and GBA SP versions.

Yeah, the requirements for the Mac version are kinda steep too... This means a lot of current users won't be able to use it... Too bad... Only one of my computers qualifies for the minimum requirements. I have a couple of older computers that I'd love to install it on too... dang... -PongHit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 What i'm wondering is why MacStella runs smoothly on my old Umax C500/240mhz machine, but the Activision Anthology needs a 400mhz G4? I bought one of those Red Octane USB Atari-style joysticks recently, but USB Overdrive doesn't seem to want to recognise it. I need to mess around with it a little more. Plus take that joystick apart, because the fire button tends to stick a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
