  1. Atari’s still in business? Pong really? No thanks. The only old arcade game that would interest me is DEFENDER. That was definitely a great game. Battle Zone had the cheesiest stick graphics ever but the sound effects were good. While there are some classics on the list and the price is reasonable, I wonder how much Ram it would take up.

    1. Defender was AWESOME.

      Battle Zone ran on a Vector display, that is why the graphics were the way they were. Same with Star Wars, Tempest and various other arcade games released in that time frame.

  2. “If you have read this far then you should obviously buy the $14.99 option because you are a die-hard Atari fan and Atari loves you for it!” LOL, you got me.

    Wasted lots of quarters on Tempest. Wasted lots of time with Adventure (F-ing bat). Centipede; a track ball with a action button, a upside down mouse. This is what trained a lot of us on how to use a GUI.

  3. I guess I am one of the few Battlezone fans. I liked the stark green on black outline graphics. This was a game “I got”. Eyes in the scope. Hands on the independent tread controls. Roaring over a 3D landscape attacking and defending against moving targets, while listening for the tell-tale “buzz” of those incoming missiles. It fit the simplicity of literal mind. I could go for an hour on one quarter. Maybe that’s why liked it: good value for me.

    I have the Battlezone app on my iPhone. The touch controls aren’t quite as easy for me as the two levers on the arcade game, but a pretty good port.

    1. Another Battlezone fan here.
      Loved that game!
      The graphics were really clean – I couldn’t stand games with tons of colors.
      And the tank controls felt authentic. Battlezone was really the only video game that I liked as a kid.

    2. I dropped more coins on Battlezone than I care to admit.
      Spectre, for the Mac back in System 7 days was even better, and had network play.

      Atari Red Baron was also great, but the machines were scarce, so I never got very good at it.
