Curious as to where you are from, noticed you pronounce Z as Zed. Are you in Canada? thanks

I opened up Atari 50 on my PS4 and the Namco section is just waiting.

Been looking forward to this since it was announced. I'm really excited to get this expansion!

Atari DLC overpriced

I hope the Pong table has better collision detection than when I first played it back around 2017-18 , but I'd still love to have it as a coffee table, nevertheless.
Really looking forward to that new Atari 50 DLC! Hope there's more on the way!

Is there a way to hook up atari joysticks or something similar to a PS4, its not the same playing retro games with modern gamepads?

Atari 50 will not be truly complete until they get E.T. yeah, yeah, activision… but that "story" needs the worlds biggest scapegoat.. or sacrifical lamb.. in gaming. While theyre negotiating the rights for that maybe they can thow in Gremlins for Atari… along with the proto for thaf Gremlins arcade game. One of these Atari guys has those PCBs.

I dont care what the consensus is… I unironically love Atari PacMan… (and E.T.) they were my first 2 home games.. and I got really good at em. Thoss games are an instant serotonin hits for me. I didnt judge PacMan for being not like the arcade… to me it was it's own thing. I love the jank and the flicker and the sound of the ghosts going to blue mode.

Oh and yes, the Namco DLC has been on my wishlist since I saw it announced (Steam version). Can't wait! Three more 5200 games. YES!

Does anyone know whatever happened to the MyArcade retro line? The retro gamestation, arcade and retro go? Namco and Capcom one in case anyone needs a memory jog lol.
Thought if anyone might know that you guys might, sorry if it's OT!

Not to complain, but Ms. Pac-Man and Pole Position are sorely missed. Still, I love the documentary work that Digital Eclipse does with these games. I hope their next expansion is the Activision 2600 games that Microsoft seems to be holding hostage.

Stupid that it doesn't have arcade versions for all games.

They need to release. 1980 Atari Star Wars arcade battle zone and donkey Kong as bad as it was.

Atari 50th is the gift that keeps on giving. Can't wait to play the Sprint on the new 75 in doorbuster Vizeo I just got.

I was really in shock they didn't put Cloudy Mountain on the Sprint.

I bought Atari 50 on the VCS 800. They quit supporting it, lol. I don't want to buy it again

$3,000 for a Pong game!!! Are they out of their minds?!!!

I thought the light guns were a plug n' play independent console. I didn't know you had to plug them into a PC or Playstation console.

Atari! Continues to kick some butt.

It's a nice list for a reasonable price, but they should have released Ms.Pac Man for the 5200 and arcade as well.

I'm excited to play the 5200 games since I never had one. 😊
