We do get several games from Big Five Software, but it sounds as if Atari SA bought the rights to Miner 2049er and Bounty Bob Strikes back a while back, so they're not actually licensed games here if accurate.

Thus Defender 2000 for the Jaguar would've meant securing a license from Warner Brothers just as Atari Corp originally did from Williams back in 1995.Īpparently (and unsurprisingly since it's the norm for classic compilations) there was no budget to pursue outside licenses for this collection. I'm especially surprised to see Food Fight miss the cut given how great of a 7800 game it is, but with the arcade original also included, at least we get an even better version of Food Defender was a Williams game in arcades.

I figured with it being a new platform for console collections that they'd toss everything in that they could for the 7800.Īlso MIA from the 7800 lineup of content that Atari SA owns clear title to (and which doesn't involve outside licenses) are Food Fight, Motor Psycho, and Planet Smashers. I'm kind of surprised myself though to not see them include everything from the 7800 that they own outright without the need of licenses. Mon 10th Oct They skipped a ton of stuff.While "Activision Anthology 2" is at the top of my mind when I think about the events going on at Activision in 2022, such a potential project is obviously a non-factor with what Microsoft is trying to do right now and isn't on anyone's radar at either management team. The Game Room service for instance is a good illustration of a relevant example.Īnd with a collection of 2600 (and hopefully classic Activision releases for other 80's consoles and 8-bit computers) being a far cry from being a system seller, I don't think they'd necessarily even make such a release be a Xbox/Windows exclusive if it ever happens. Microsoft through the years have greenlit numerous small scale projects such as for the old Xbox Live Arcade service. There's little room at today's current Activision for such a classic compilation on consoles, but with the shakeup with the Microsoft acquisition, just maybe something positive like that will happen. I don't know if there's much hope of WB doing anything with their classic Midway/Atari Games/Williams/Leland library, but hopefully we at least see Activision's 2600 library make a return one day to mainstream consoles.

Here's what's included on this page listing (via Nintendo Everything): Atari Arcade The retailer leak suggests there will be "more than 100 playable games".
