Truly the original game along with so many more original arcade games. A must for anyone who hasn’t experienced the games that started it all.
Blast From The Past
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Attari: The 80 Classic Games in One, is so much to play. If you were around in the 70’s & 80’s when lot of these games were produced, then you will certainly enjoy playing with this collection of games which I like to refer to as a “Blast From The Past” for sure! After all, these games are the pioneer modeled type that are producing the games of today and for in the future.
severely upset!

i ordered the atari 80 classic games because it was advertised to have the game caled chips challenge on it. between the price of the game and the shipping and handling i paid almost 20 dollars and when i got it in the mail and loaded it chips challenge was not even there! as far as i am concerned i will not use amazon again! i will go to e-bay or somewhere else, this review is not even worth one star but i have to put at least one to get the review posted!

I bought this for a friend who wanted to play Centipede again. I was surprised how realistic the game played on the computer. Even her kids who play far more sophisticated games enjoy Centipede and a couple of the others. This is an outstanding bang for your buck.
Asteroids plus more games from way back when.

This is a great game disk. I played the Asteroids and it was just as good as the old days. There are two Asteroids in this, you have to go to the orignal game and set the values to how you like them, and change them around to get it so you can play the way you like. The rest of the games are fun to but I bought this mostly for Asteroids. You can play with a controler or the mouse and arrow keys.
Great fun for all with this game and the price is great to.

I use to play the old atari when it first came out. It was a load of fun. On the computer game I couldn’t get it to work until I discovered you have to buy Codec to play certain games. After I bought the codec it works great. They should tell you that when you purchase.There are many games of fun on this disk. There are lots of different old games on it. Astroids. All kinds for everyone’s delight.I would recommend this game to anyone.It is a lot of fun.Eighty games are a lot.Just don’t forget the Codec
would not load, then it crashed my computer

I was over joyed to find this product…BUT when I got it first I could not get it to load…THEN lo and behold my computer crashed…to me a worthless product.
Would have been fun if the game would play
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
What I was hoping would be a fun present for my husband (who loved Atari games as a teen) ended up as a Christmas dud. We tried three different computers in our home, two systems on XP and one on Vista. Same problem with each. The game would install but instead of playing would freeze completely, requiring a forced exit. It’s a shame because my husband is a huge arcade game fan. We’re returning it and will hopefully find something else he’d enjoy, perhaps Zuma or Luxor. Don’t waste your money on the chance it won’t play in your computer either.
Not perfect but gets the job done.

If you have nostalgia for an Atari game or would like to create it there is an application called “Atari 80 Classic Games.” It includes games from “cartridges” for the first home version of the Atari game console along with the arcade hits from the mid eighties. The arcade versions are worth the pursuit of this application.The home versions from the 1980s are useful for a reunion of old friends to relive past times or to study the evolution of computer games. If you owned the originals you will conclude the desperation for entertainment in that these versions couldn’t get much cruder. The majority of the games work well once play has started but if you try to resume a game and chose to continue the last time played; via a dialog box, the application will not always return to the right part of the program and you will be stuck with a blank screen.The solution to this is to chose a new game. If you would like to play the arcade versions such as Asteroids or Centipede like when you used to at the mall this disc is well worth owning although it is prudent not to have important information in your ram and be knowledgeable where your Esc and windows keys are on your keyboard.
Yup, There’s Spyware Alright
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I saw another review that mentioned there was spyware in this game. I thought maybe he was mistaken, because I didn’t think Atari would have so little self-respect as to do something like that. At the price of the game, it was a minor risk–I thought.
Well… I didn’t even install the game. I chose the option to run the game from the disc for the first time. Immediately, Windows Defender popped up with a “medium threat” warning. I would have explored that further, to see what the threat actually was, but my whole system (I’m operating Vista) was acting unstable, a highly atypical state for my computer. I couldn’t get alt tab to work and I couldn’t get the game to close. I couldn’t get to the Defender warning pop-up to click for more information. Task Manager wouldn’t come up, either. I finally solved the problem by yanking the cord on my external dvd drive and disconnecting the game. I could finally exit the Atari window after that.
I’m disappointed, both because I was looking forward to playing the games and because I had thought better of Atari. I’d like to think this was just a computer glitch and Windows Defender made a mistake, but by the behavior of the game itself, I’m thinking it was no mistake. What a shame.
dissapointed

After a purchase and return and a repurchase I still cannot load this disc on my computter, menus come up and I select games but every thing freezes and I have to abort all operations. Love the original games but am at a loss with this one.

It was nice to play pong and some of the other old games, it took me back to the 80’s which I did enjoy so much. The only flaw was that they were a little difficult to control with the arrows keys, instead of the joystick.
This Game Dosen’t Work
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
The jewel case was cracked on both sides, to begin with. The game seemed to install fine but either locked up immediately or was so choppy I tried to exit it, then it locked up. A few times I had to reboot. I am running XP Home. I tried running it in compatibility mode with all win versions down to Win ‘95, set the video graphics to a very low level, and increased the memory allowance to max. Same results. I know how to install & run software, been doing it since ‘81. This program sucks! Don’t buy it.
