    Very Disappointed!

    • Written by from Hopewell Junction

    Shame on Atari. After purchasing this Atari Arcade Game for $59.95, and then downloading the free “Atari’s Greatest Hits” App, I found I had to “purchase” the game(s) I wanted to play. This is not self explanatory on the game box. I am disappointed. I plan to return this to the store.

    Old School FUN!

    I have tons of fun playing the Atari Arcade with my family! Teaching my nephews how to play the iconic games I played when I was their age is a blast!!!

    Not the best selection of games...

    • Written by from Northport

    So, was very excited but reluctant to get this because the box doesn't give a lot of information on the types of games available from Atari - and with good reason - not a lot of good stuff....of 99 games, I only liked 3 (Centipede, Tempest, Asteroids)...and that's it - no Pac Man, Dig Dug....so I was disappointed.

    The console itself is made well - but the choice of games is NOT...am returning it! : (

    OBSESSED!

    • Written by from Tacoma

    I can't say enough good things about this as a Xmas gift for anybody - kids, dad, mom, maybe even grandparents? It is so much nostalgic fun - and even my kiddos who didn't grow up around the arcades, cannot get enough of the playtime.

    Looks super cool sitting on my desk at work too!

    don't buy it

    • Written by from BOULDER

    This is a terrible product. The control sticks are not responsive and are difficult to use. It's not fun. You will be disappointed.

    Best birthday gift

    • Written by from seattle

    I received this for my birthday last week and I've had so much fun with it! I sometimes take it to the bar instead of playing cards! It's really fun playing tournaments with friends. The joystick feels really smooth and responsive and i love how it locks in my iPad, keeping it safe and sound.

    This is a terrible product!

    • Written by from Philadelphia

    I can't imagine why this product got any positive reviews. First, as stated elsewhere, all but a very few games must be purchased. I could overlook that, however, if the controls and basic setup were not so horrible. The gameplay experience feels nothing like the old Atari consoles that I grew up with. The joystick works on some type of positive contact arrangement that makes it impossible to have meaningful interaction with what's happening on the screen. If you try to compensate for the pitiful control setup by getting aggressive with the joystick, the whole thing slides around on the table. Very dissappointing. If you get this hoping to let your kids in on the video game standard that you knew as a child, get ready for them to laugh in your face. I would not recommend this to anyone.
