Celebrate Atari's 40th birthday with a free tour of all that Atari's Greatest Hits has to offer! All games will remain free-to-play UNTIL you remove or reinstall the game.
Manual/Packaging/Promotional scans, one of the neater parts of this collection! (Including the QuestWorld comics!)
I downloaded a bunch of stuff, but I ultimately deleted and reinstalled so I could just keep the 5-6 arcade games I wanted...and none of the 2600 stuff. If memory serves, Asteroids, Centepede, Millipede, Super Breakout, Missile Command and Tempest were the ones I kept. Controls are less than ideal for most of these games, and in most cases, clones with better controls have already been released. Still, cool freebie.
Unless I'm missing something, this game lacks online multiplayer...a shame, since Warlords was my first taste of true "death match" style gameplay. Me, 3 family members, 3 paddle controllers...and WAR! I would love to school some people old school style, ifyaknowwhatimsayin' Err, Star Wars Light Saber Duels might have been my FIRST death matchup; I can't quite recall which came first. Now I just hope Colecovision (ha!) releases an app so I can get my Wizard of Wor on, the 2d OG coop/death match shooter!
I bought them for $9.99 (in EUR) before and hope (even after updating to the "new" app), I will still be able to remove them and re-install like before (restore IAPs). But a great sale for all who didn't have them.
I had bought three separate packs of games in this before, theres a lot in here that didnt age so well but all in all is a great collection. Downloaded all games on both ipad and ipod! P.S. It is kinda annoying thaving o download each one but its very fast so no real trouble.
that's a lot of clicking, guess there is not a "download all" button nvm got them all already... Missing some oldies... Superman, Pitfall etc
Seriously? With such mediocre graphics compared to today's games they were that big?! Or is it due to increasingly better compression methods that we're now able to cram more into less space?
Not that I see.... So it is a lot of work to try all the games which I am doing now. I think today is the only day one can download the game roms, so you had better do it today if possible.
Good I'm glad you posted, that is what I wanted to know whether we could reinstall the game today only and still redownload the games. It works, also, I tested it on my iphone. So recommend downloading everything, playing, and deleting and redownloading the games you want. The full download is about 166, and I want mine to get below 80 mb or so. Because there is no way to delete roms. This will be a fun task tonight, most of the 2600 games aren't worth it, but breakout works like a charm!
Awesome! Some true classics here. Shame my fave ever 2600 game isnt on the list but still there's some good ones. 2600 Adventure is still as much fun as ever!
Well, spent around 2 hours downloading all the games, playing, then deleting and reinstalling. All of the arcade titles are good. The 2600 games, most are not worth downloading due to disk space. In fact I was surprised how many of the 2600 titles were bigger than the arcade titles. Well, I made list of the 2600 games that made my list: Adventure Asteroids Battlezone Breakout Fatal run Maze craze Millipede Missile command Night rider Pong sports Realsports tennis Realsports volleyball Street racer Super breakout Tempest Video pinball Warlords Yar's revenge Hopefully this will help some of you that don't want to spend all that time to download each individual game, I would recommend downloading all the arcade titles and the above 2600 roms. Total size exactly 100 mb. The music in the main menu really got into my head, makes me want to go to a nightclub and go dancing!
Having the music on does make it seem faster. Edit: Question, we can never update, right? Someone told me they always have to redownload after each update.
This is my childhood so I downloaded everything I could regardless of how it plays on the phone. This is fantastic. The only issue I'm having is with games like Outlaw and Combat. My computer opponent mimics every move I make. If I move up, it moves up. If I fire at an angle it fires at an angel at the same time I do. I don't remember the cartridges doing that....or did they? Regardless this has to be one of the greatest freebies ever. Even looking at the old manuals is a blast.
Eager to find out if all of the IAPs have to be done today or not. I really can't be bothered doing it all right now.
From Appadvice: It was on this day, June 27, in 1972 that Atari was born. Since then, the company has produced numerous games that would end up in the video gaming history books, if such a thing existed. Now, 40 years later, the company is letting fans experience all of the excitement once again by offering a very limited time promotion through their Greatest Hits app for iOS. Celebrate Ataris 40th birthday with a free tour of all that Ataris Greatest Hits has to offer! Released earlier today, Ataris Greatest Hits v1.5.2 has a special little secret. This Atari 40th Anniversary Update unlocks all 100 of the included games for you to download and play to your hearts desire, or until you pass out from lack of sleep. Anyway, its a spectacular promotion, but it does have some stipulations. For one, you must download the update and games today, June 27, to get them at no cost. Second, you cant delete the game. Well, you can, however, you will lose the free access if you do. All games will remain free-to-play UNTIL you remove or reinstall the game. So, get to it already! Ataris Greatest Hits is a universal app compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or later, and available in the App Store as a free download.
