Rhindle The Red Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Didn't see this here before, so I thought I'd let everyone know that Infogrames is releasing Atari Anniversary Advance next year. Read about it here: Atari Classics Heading to GBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 can't help but think they're gonna bomb. I love these games, but I wouldn't spend $30 to have them on a console that can do(and should be doing) so much more. I think even releasing rehashed Super mario 2 on GBA was a lame idea. People interested in this stuff (well,interested enough to part with that amount of cash) will prob. already have ataris or at least emulators.

ubersaurus Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I'll probably get it, since it's good stuff, and its portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I doubt that Asteroids especially will look any good on a low res LCD display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyi76 Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I wish they would add more than a measley 6 games. Also superbreakout without paddles and Missile command without a trackball aren't very good. There great games with those persiphals though.

AtariDude Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 I agree that releasing it with only 6 games is not as much fun as if they released it with 12 games. They are creating shovelware where you take a program that was released in one medium and transferring it to another. And $30? come on. Anyone who would be interested in these games would have purchased them a long time ago. $15 would have been a better price. Too much greed on the part of Infogrames if you ask me.

mos6507 Posted November 14, 2001 Share Posted November 14, 2001 >> Too much greed on the part of Infogrames if you ask me. << I'm sure it has more to do with Digital Eclipse wanting to milk their emulation cash-cow as long as humanly possible.

ubersaurus Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Well, for Asteroids, it depends on how they do it. on the old game boy, it has a white background with black lines, although im pretty sure you could switch it. No wait, that was defender. Yeah, Asteroids had a white background. If they do it on GBA They could to the same thing, you make the lines a bit thicker.

Ze_ro Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I bought the Atari Anniversary Edition for the Dreamcast for $20 (CDN), and I think it was awesome... but with only half as many games and more than twice the price ($30 = $45 CDN), I don't know... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 why not just play the games on the system they were designed to run on? You might as well be using an emulator as playing these titles. Same goes for modern stuff - Crazy Taxi just doesn't look right on PS2! Imagine Mario on master system!!

ubersaurus Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 Crazy Taxi on arcade board? What? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what part you didn't get, but let's see if I can clear it up for you. The discussion had progressed to where liveinabin said he thought games should be played only on their original system(s). He used the lack of quality in the Crazy Taxi PS2 port as an example. I tried to point out that the Atari games being made for the Game Boy Advance are the arcade versions, not the 2600 versions (as I suspect some people thought). I was trying clear that up in a humorous way by pointing out that the original systems in this case would be arcade cabinets. And as for Crazy Taxi, yes, it too was originally an arcade game.

liveinabin Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hehe. Perhaps I should explain what I was on about. Yeah, you're dead right, they were arcade ports - but they were put on the Atari as if the were atari programs - ie. using that systems attributes as well as the programmers could. I think the GBA is a little more capable than the games we're going to get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
