Since Atari now owns Intelevision, maybe the next update should feature Intelevision games? Atari did release some games to Intelevision under their "Atarisoft" label for third-party releases, so it would also be a good opportunity to show off those releases, (although Centipede is the only one that have full ownership of. There was also Defender and Pac-Man, but those are owned by WB Interactive and Bandai-Namco respectively.) This of course on top of games that were published by Mattel and INTV Corp would give us titles like Motocross, Auto Racing, Boxing, AD&D: Cloudy Mountain (aka, Adventure), their own Pinball title and the Intelivision versions of all the M Network makes, it'd be a great complement to be able to play both versions of those games!

Does anyone really play these games for more than a few minutes of nostalgia? And for most of these, EVER?

Cool!

It suddenly occurred to me that the inclusion of Stellar Track, Submarine Commander, and Steeplechase was possibly because the dissolving of Sears Corporation (who Atari made the games for) means that the rights might have finally gone back to Atari. That's a bummer, if that's what happened. Sears headquarters is most likely gone now that there's only 9 stores - from what I understand, on the K-Mart side, corporate had been gone for some time and the few K-Mart stores left were on their own to fend for themselves. Sears might be in the same shape, which is pretty sad to think about.

I'm hoping for Custer's Revenge on the next DLC pack.

Basketball doesn't have a three point shot because the three-pointer was not implemented in the NBA till 1979-1980 season and 1986 in the NCAA.

glad to see they keep updating this one, thanks for keeping us in the loop Pojr!

Dude… no braces! Congrats… your channel has reignited my love for Atari.

Pleased they added more. I caved in and got the steel book edition instead of buying the dlc. I'm pleased as I only had the standard 50 as digital and wanted a physical version. The timeline is so interesting. Hope they do add Activision and other third party developers. This is turning into the definitive way to collect Atari

“Imagine buying a Konami collection but there is Capcom games on it” - the turbografix 16 mini was released by Konami and had Capcom games on it

Makes the physical version pretty much worthless if it needs updates to have the whole collection.

I'm hoping they will add Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., E.T.; for historical reasons, Quadrant, Pitfall 1 and 2, Battletank, Tron games, Rubix Cube, Pepsi Invaders, and games developed by Howard Warshaw after he left and freelanced games. The lisencing would be a nightmare to get these games added, but it really would be complete.

I think the vast majority will be totally okay with 3rd party titles being included. After all, they are definitely a part of Atari history. I guess it just depends on how literally you take the title of "Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration". If you see this collection as being very specifically about Atari as a console manufacturer and developer, then I guess it would probably bother you.

They had Atari Vault on Steam, which had a DLC I was meaning to get with some more games, but they took it down, so I can't buy it. Now, even though I already bought Atari Vault, if I want to play those games legally I have to buy Atari 50. So I'm honestly pretty annoyed with them, and won't be buying anything they make from here on.

I got this WHOLE collection, on Huble Bundle, along with all the Atari "recharged" games for a total of $33 and it was WELL worth it. I saved a TON of money and got EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, it's no longer at Humble but it was the sale of the YEAR to me. What i'm envisioning is they will also add "all" Intellivision (and total history) eventually. nuff said?

FLY ATARI FLY $PONGF

Too bad there is still not Battlezone for arcade, 2600 or Lynx. Infogrames (pardon, "Atari") sold the IP to Rebellion.

As strange as it sounds, I *_really_* hope they get the license from Namco to include Pac-Man and Pac-Man 8K into the lineup - Pac-Man was the killer app for the 2600 and 5200, as infamous as the 2600 was.

I wish we have Activision games in the future.

good video

0:40 Hey! That guy named "Vinno" looks familiar!

I had the frog game on colleco vision

Giving the fact that basketball(Atari 2600) in 1978 their was 3-point field goals in the NBA until 1979, this coming from a causal fan of basketball

when i saw the thumbnail background i thought that namcos and other companies arcade 2600 ports were gonna be added that would be kinda cool tho right

Has anyone actually heard of any future updates for this?

I'll never forget Video Pinball for being the first game I got in trouble for playing. My dad activated the smoke alarm for a fire drill right while I was in the middle of an insanely good run and six-year-old me wasn't going to let that stop me from rolling the score multiple times.

I remember staying up quite late playing the bowling game to get a perfect 300. I like Intellivision’s astrosmash better because the game start off pretty casual and then built up

Not really into ATARI consoles. It's a little too retro for me - especially since I grew up in the 90's and was used to C64 and NES - but developer documentaries are really worth watching.

Pretty sure this game predates introduction of 3pt shots in basketball. Lol.

Hope atari adds more of their PC titles like rollercoaster tycoon and more lynx and Jaguar games

I have 150k(almost) roms installed in my phone

Love that they have the Intellivision games. I don't think Intellivision warrants its own games but I'd love to see an expansion of Atari 50 that way.

It ain't available to Gog Users

10:10 That crap is pretty embarrassing. Makes it look like they don't really care, and didn't seriously test what they're shipping.

I’d update it purely for Berzerk and Frenzy.

No TRON? Seriously though. I'm definitely in that small camp. I have tons of ways to play 2600 games. I love the 50 Collection as a celebration of Atari as a company more than a celebration of any specific console. I love all the history and being able to play games within that context. I think it's valuable to have a small section dedicated to the rivalry with Intellivision, but I'm content to not let it just be an open house for anything on those systems. Great vid.

Amazing, the game is in pc?

Midnight Magic was not an Atari property. It was on several computers before it was on Atari. Your assessment that this M network dlc is the first time non atari made games are on the collection is incorrect. The September update included Berzerk and Frenzy, two games developed by Stern electronics that Atari also acquired.

your praise for bootlegs shows you licking some Chinese boots. Of course Nintendo can not sue them. That is why I stay suspicious of even licensed products from China. Nothing is real over there.

With the 3rd party additions, I am now hopeful we'll finally get Fast Food on a collection.

Surprised by antbear personally. I lost the rest of my night of exploring the collection after finding that game. I see it as kind of snake meets pacman. I learned you can eat the worms if you get them from behind, and they can safely pass through your tongue as long as its not the tip. I just wish it had better scoring mechanics.

This is really good stuff! 😁

I know it sounds like a silly request but can you someday do video game documentary reviews Not talking about KZbin ones but official indie ones like the 5 part Atari one Sinclair etc

I really hope Atari can work something out to get Gauntlet on this. It's a huge part of their arcade legacy and it's a bummer it passed through multiple hands and now is with Warner Bros.

A collection adding more games through an update? Completely unheard of.

Yay more legal roms to download and add to my rom collection

hi😀

Hey is POJR have a great day brother another Banger Let's Go
