Just think of all of the kids who received Basic Math for Christmas in the late 70s instead of something more fun. I remember looking at the Christmas packages under the Christmas tree and thinking yes that's about the size of an Atari 2600 box. Thankfully I never got Basic Math.

[@KaptainKlassic]

I loved those memories. I would do the same thing except for me I was looking for PS1 and PS2 games under the tree lol

[@Frizzlefrail]

I remember getting it for christmas. I was 5 best xmas. Still have my original 2600 with over 100 games.

[@KaptainKlassic]

That's awesome. It's one thing to have a retro console but to have the original one you owned as a kid is even better! My 2600 is pretty sentimental to me too. It was passed down to me from my uncle. I remember telling him I was really into retro games so he gave it to me. He told me he couldn't figure out E.T. as a kid. Lol! Unfortunately, he passed away a few years back. So I keep the 2600 for more than just collecting.

[@CatzzMoney]

The thing I hated about the Atari 2600 was connecting the cable to the tv. The cable was like a U shape thingy.

Yeah totally! Thank you for watching! I actually ordered the Atari flashback collection for switch to see how that one holds up. I'll be reviewing that as well.

[@OtBe]

Best part of this collection is the interview footage IMO.

Ok, I really need to go back and actually watch them now.

Race 500 was originally called Indy 500 when it came out. It was sold in a set with 2 steering controllers that as far as I know only were ever used on that game. Great video.

[@KaptainKlassic]

Interesting! Didn't know it originally came with 2 controllers. Thank you for watching!

[@piperatdawn7184]

Yep, you’re correct! Games were so expensive we used to swap them with mates.. we borrowed Indy 500 as it was known and loved it & it did have what looked just like paddles but they were specially made to work with the game. The box itself was deeper to allow the game box to go in and the controllers in the bigger box..

[@mykleb1616]

Because I grew up playing basic math (for every half hour I played it I got to play 15 minutes of a regular game) the fact it's a bonus game on this would make me buy it. The things we take from our childhoods... lol

[@KaptainKlassic]

That's an interesting parenting choice (not a bad one). I'll write that one down! Lol, well glad someone has sentimental value for this game.

[@Evil0tto]

Getting the VCS (the original name of the 2600) for Christmas was a big deal for us. I would play Combat with my dad a lot, and when we got Space Invaders that was it, I was hooked.

[@SoulforSale]

Waiting on the Atari 50th Arcade1up cabinet. Just stopped by while sitting here by the door watching for the box to arrive. Thanks for showing me this collection. Its leagues ahead of the home arcade version but Ill probably never get to see it irl.

[@KaptainKlassic]

I'm loving all of the Atari 50 themed stuff coming out like from MyArcade. I myself have the Pac-Man Legacy Edition 1up cabinet. Enjoy yours! I'd love to own that one. Thanks for checking out my videos.

[@Adric1971]

Thx so much for this video. I just bought this on Steam and bought it solely for Adventure. You can now select game mode 3 for randomly generated items on your game. That alone makes it worth the price for me. I was obsessed with Adventure as a 10 yr. old in the early 80's. I've barely scratched the surface of what Atari 50 has to offer. Many thanks.

[@KaptainKlassic]

No problem! Glad you're enjoying the game so far. It is a pretty neat collection with a lot of cool new features for sure! Adventure is great too

My favorite Atari games are asteroids and deluxe, breakout, venture ,Berserk which sadly is not on the Atari 50 collection but has been sold separately since as another re imagined version which is phenomenal ! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP ON THIS! CHEERS!

[@TromaDogg]

Cool video, just been watching for tips to unlock the games, I've got one for you too though. With the Tempest section on Vctr- Sctr, once the ememies have reached the top of the 'well' where your gun is, you can only safely pass by them or shoot them whilst they're 'flipping' between segments, so your best option is to just stay in one place and keep firing so they are killed as they try to flip onto the segment you're on. 'Cat Warlords' at the end looked awesome, but probably really tricky to play 😂😂😂😂

The definitive collection of the 2600 era. The only way I'll add to this is if Atari and Activision ever put out a joint collection which would be amazing, but unlikely.

[@KaptainKlassic]

That's all we need now! Wish Activision would allow it.

TANGENT TIME: AirWorld! The lost SwordQuest game, never released. With FireWorld and EarthWorld, the prizes of the golden Talisman (which Steven Bell won, but later had sold and melted down except the white gold sword) and the golden chalice (which Michael Rideout won and still owns) were claimed. The WaterWorld prize (the golden crown) was not awarded because the contest was canceled. AirWorld had, according to the contestants, the most beautiful prize...the Philosopher's Stone. The prizes were on display at the EarthWorld and FireWorld contests, and with the Philosopher's Stone, the lid of the golden box housing the stone was removed so that the beautiful chunk of pure white jade was visible. It's mysterious, because there are no pictures. The photos of the prizes in the promotional pamphlets were all artists renditions, and all the renditions always showed the Philosopher's Stone with the golden lid covering the stone. A picture of the lost Sword (The Grand Prize) can be viewed online, was taken at the contest display, but it's a pretty lousy picture with a ton glare. There is no picture of the Philosopher's Stone, and it is believed that the three lost prizes...the Sword, the Crown, and the Philosopher's Stone...have all been sold and melted down, just like Steven Bell's Talisman. This leaves Michael Rideout's Chalice as the only surviving SwordQuest prize. To this day, I hope one day a quality picture of the Philosopher's Stone (lid removed) surfaces. I apologize, but this is a topic I've been fascinated with for years.

[@KaptainKlassic]

Wow, I love the amount of detail and thought put into your comment. With that being said, look no further for I have the Philosopher's Stone. Lol, I wish. In all seriousness, this was a really fascinating thing. Too bad with this remake or whatever they didn't try it again. Like they did back in 2015 with the Nintendo World Championships. Speaking of which, I hope they do another one again someday.

[@underwaterlevelz1947]

@@KaptainKlassic Perhaps a future video topic: games that should be the challenge for the next NWC. It just seems downright criminal that a prize as glamorous, ambitious, and valuable as the bejeweled Philosopher's Stone (which undoubtedly was expensive to conceptualize, commission, and create) has no surviving photographs that have found their way online. FireWorld's champion and Chalice winner Michael Rideout said that when he saw the Philosopher's Stone with the lid removed on display at the contest "it took my breath away". Even whomever likely stripped the prize of it's jewels and melted it down had to have paused, taken some photos, maybe even considered keeping it intact. Destroying something so beautiful is a sin.

[@KaptainKlassic]

@@underwaterlevelz1947 I cannot believe that.. I could understand selling it but to destroy it!? Yeah that should be illegal.. not a bad video idea btw!

[@douglasbriel6103]

Does it have the George Perez mini comic?

[@blueflowers151]

Another great Atari compilation came out for the first original x box and PlayStation 2, i am trying to remember the exact name but its killer, no jaguar games but a big collection if not all of the Atari arcade games plus videos' of history ect..much like this new Atari 50 collection. Of course all the Atari home systems tho only the Atari but also activision i believe, lol may be i am thinking of the Intelevision collection, there is 3 midway collections and many other companies have released their own collections. From this video i have so far unlocked 3 of the confidential puzzels and currently(as i speak) i am trying to unlock the game from playing vectorésector, the tank one i have almost mastered but dang its picky about making the circle with the rocket.

[@KaptainKlassic]

Are you thinking of the Atari Anthology collection? Also, glad the video has helped! Yeah, vectorsector is definitely the most challenging one to unlock. The combat/tanks one is the most annoying. Just keep trying to get the circle as perfect as you can.

[@Nikademus1969]

There are likely no Activision or other 3rd party games because they wanted to emphasize that it's *Atari's* 50th anniversary, so it's all Atari, all the time

[@KaptainKlassic]

That makes sense. It's Atari time! #Atari50

[@quantumleaper]

@@KaptainKlassic At least one game wasn't programmed by Atari, but it was done by a 3rd party and the Atari paid them to do it. I know the people who worked on the game, and he told me the cheat code a week after it was released. I still remember when I went to Babbages to buy the game, they had sold out of it, but instead of the normal 50 copies of the game, they had only gotten 3 to sell. I had to go to a different store to buy one.

[@Max-zv8hm]

It’s nice to have games that just have the software on the cartridge/disc.

[@timmadone8930]

The reimagined games & interviews makes this worth getting. As for "Basic Math", never played it. But "Donkey Kong Jr. Math" for the NES actually was fun if you were playing against a friend that had the same math skills as you. Too bad it's not included in the NES collection on the Switch. Hopefully the "Atari 50 ann. collection" will inspire SEGA to put out something similar but focus more on their coin-op arcade games. In the meantime "Arcade Paradise" is available for some extra nostalgia feels.

[@KaptainKlassic]

Thanks for the recommendation on Arcade Paradise I still need to check that one out. I agree completely that this collection is worth getting just for the reimagined games. Also, it seems as though Basic Math you just set up the numbers and then solve it. It seems more like math practice than a game.

[@StultifiedGraphics]

Yeah games i played most were, Pitfall, River raid, and Enduro, so I'm a little bummed they're not on there, I even enjoyed the Ghostbusters game lol

[@KaptainKlassic]

Yeah too bad those games aren't on here. I definitely don't think anyone's too excited for basic math lol

Isn’t there a Activision collection on Steam? Apparently not. I thought the Activision Anthology came out on Steam.

[@bumpnscore]

Thank you for doing this, now that I see the unlockable games I won’t have to worry about it 😂 I do own a VCS and really like it. Just wish that Atari would get fully behind it and offer more support for it.

[@KaptainKlassic]

Yeah that was kind of my intention too. I wanted to see what the 5 games were. I knew a few prior to filming but yeah, overall it was worth it but more for just the sake of making the video, not the actual games. I noticed Atari Mania was actually released on the VCS though correct?

[@bumpnscore]

Yes Atari Mania is on there for sure, as are a lot of other fun games, most of which are available for other systems. I have all the “Recharged” series of games on my VCS as they are fun to play with the classic controller that comes with the all-in VCS bundle, but also wanted to make my system be as Atari-exclusive as possible. There are a ton of reviews out there for the VCS, most are pretty unkind, mainly due to the hefty price but content as well. It’s a fun retro gaming device with PC capability, and comes with the Atari Vault which has 100 of the classic games which come with the Flashback Classics for Switch (complete with same music). Here again the classic controller is fun to use, but overall I think you got to love Atari to fully enjoy it.

[@KaptainKlassic]

@@bumpnscore yeah I totally get it. I feel like I'd do the same thing and buy exclusive titles only. One thing I didn't understand about it was connecting it to your PC ad stuff. Just seemed like a confusing system as far as what it's going for.

[@bumpnscore]

It doesn’t hook up to a PC, rather there’s a “PC mode” built in, so you can connect a bootable USB drive (3.1) with OS of your choosing, which would make the VCS become a PC, presumably for emulators, or game developing, etc. This device is seemingly Atari’s way of catering to the gaming and computing crowds in one place, as their history has always been dabbling in both. I really have no use for this to be a PC so I just enjoy the retro gaming, Antstream arcade, downloadable games as well as it plays Netflix and other streaming services. I figure at the very least, this system gets Atari on par with other game consoles by being their first to be Wi-Fi capable 😂. It does do a good job though and is fun to play. If you can get one for $199 that’s more reasonable.

[@KaptainKlassic]

@@bumpnscore yeah I think the price is a little too steep right now for what it is. Though those controllers look incredibly convincing. Maybe someday I'll get one, I've also got my eyes on a Steam Deck and that one is definitely pricey!

[@KaptainKlassic]

Good point, new video coming soon with something that might be worth it to you. Though this is worth getting eventually for the reimagined games. Seems like the only Switch games that don't really drop in price are the official Nintendo games. Most Mario games, Zelda, etc. ones that even came out back around when the Switch launched are still like $50

Games like basic math were created so parents could buy their kids something educational and feel better about owning video games. Remember video games were new at this point and there was a lot of pushback by parents saying they were bad for your kids. Games like Basic Math were made to combat that.

[@KaptainKlassic]

Understandable back then, but to include it on here seems odd.

[@zombeat7376]

Watching video hoping the unlockable ones include. Pitfall, pac man and tutankham.

[@blatherskite3009]

Unfortunately, Atari owns none of those. They're Activision, Namco, and Konami/Parker Bros properties, respectively. Tutankham is probably the least likely to turn up on a compilation because it's a double-license, i.e. developed by Parker Bros based on a Konami arcade game. Still got my 2600 Tutankham cartridge :) That game gets a lot of flak, and it's not much like the arcade game it's supposed to be representing, but I enjoyed it a lot back in the day and have probably played it more than the arcade original over the years.

I edited out a few of the attempts because I wasn't really talking and I don't like a lot of silence during my videos so a lot gets cut out but it only took me about 5 minutes.

I really wish they would do some kind of remake/ reimagined version of Berserk, but unfortunately it’s not owned by Atari and Stern Electronics would have to agree to a remake.

[@KaptainKlassic]

@@Jasonv65 I would spend 20 dollars on a remake/reimagined version of Berserk alone.

[@rushmore3927]

LOL, thanks for doing this so I don’t have to.

[@KaptainKlassic]

Hey no problem! Haha, thanks for watching

[@cresshead]

AVP would have been a great unlocked game....

[@KaptainKlassic]

never played the jaguar version so yeah that would have been cool to have for sure.

[@thewingedavenger1007]

I'm a simple man. When a guy wearing an Atari hat starts talking in front of a wall that reads "Pac-Man" and "Tetris", I listen. I'm the same age as the Atari 2600 and I had it when it was popular, and it's very intriguing to hear the opinions of people who were born after that era. You're good at these games too! You say you wish Kaboom were in the collection. Well, Kaboom is a clone of an early Atari arcade game called Avalanche, and that game is included in the previous Atari Flashback Collection on the Nintendo Switch. (Most if not all good Activision games in that era were shameless clones of earlier games, so that company is extremely overrated.) That leads me to why I'm disappointed with both collections. Forget about Activision - these compilations lack many essential Atari-made games! Atari 50 includes the awesome Food Fight and Dark Chambers, but omits certain games which were on the Atari Flashback Collection, namely the phenomenally popular arcade game Atari Football (the first good sports video game), the aforementioned historically essential Avalanche, and the Atari 5200 game Realsports Baseball, which is the first good baseball video game and was also included on Atari Flashback Collection. And both collections are missing excellent Atari-made arcade games such as Gauntlet and Gauntlet II, Paperboy, Marble Madness, Road Blasters, Vindicators and Xybots. Why are these big companies making us buy two or even three compilations (see the super-shameless Namco) in order to get just a fraction of their great old games? When I bought a CD collection of the Beatles greatest hits, it contained all their best songs. So why are Namco, Atari, and SNK so incredibly cheap? SNK put out two Neo Geo Pocket collections and they cumulatively only contain about ten of the best games for that console, which only had maybe twenty good games on it to begin with. SNK could have made one collection with all the good Neo Geo Pocket games, and it would have been a must-buy and a huge commercial success. Instead, they had to be stingy and I doubt the two mediocre collections are selling well.

[@KaptainKlassic]

First, thank you for watching and the detailed comment! I agree, it is a shame that a lot of these collections don't have a lot of variety. Atari 50 had the perfect oppurtunity to add games here that were not on the previous Atari Flashback Collection. Also, I admit I did not realize Kaboom was a clone of Avalanche! Though after playing the Atari Flashback Collection I can see it. My next video is actually sort of a continuation of this one and I talk about Atari Flashback Classics. I think you'll enjoy it.

You need a padel controller for Breakout/Super Breakout?

[@KaptainKlassic]

No, you just use the analog stick on your controller.

[@ZMAN_420]

@@KaptainKlassic I was born in the 1980, Trust me if you use a paddle controller it makes Breakout type games way easier. I know you can use any controller but paddle is better.

[@ZMAN_420]

@@KaptainKlassic You ever play Kaboom for 2600? If you want to get far paddle is the best way. That sounds compilicated one analog is slow and one is fast? Just my opinion paddle controller is fast slow all in one.

[@KaptainKlassic]

@@ZMAN_420 I agree I love the paddle controller but they didn't make a paddle controller for this rerelease. That would have been cool though.

How was Airworld? Did they make a comic for it?

[@infernonine]

There is a comic in there for it the comics for the other sword quest games are there too also the yars revenge comic is there as well

[@KaptainKlassic]

Tbh I didn't play it much I was pretty confused by it at first and then skipped on to something else as I was checking out the collection. I'll give it another shot though

[@chazcov08]

Funny hearing a child talk about games from MY childhood in the 70s and calling the home version of Warlords trash. If you weren’t there, you don’t know.

[@KaptainKlassic]

I don't really think Warlords is trash, I played the arcade version first and loved it so when I got around to trying the 2600 version, it just didn't appeal as much to me. But I totally get it. Also, 27 is still a child?

[@michaelhill6453]

I have to get this...I'm 58.

[@paularnold2595]

Warlords is hardly new to this & was released on the Atari anniversary redux compilation on the PS1 as well as the Atari anthology for PS2 which is far better than this 50th anniversary thing. Oh well here's to the 60th,70th & 75th anniversary releases in the future £££ zzz

[@KaptainKlassic]

That redux compilation on PS1 was actually my first time playing it. I had that game as a kid! Loved that compilation. Thanks for watching!

This atari 50 sucks. I used to own a Lynx & I was disappointed to find out that no good lynx games were on this compilation. They should've included Electrocop, Ninja Gaiden, Batman Returns, and California Games.

[@yandman26]

The entire game lineup here is extremely lacking other than arcade. Beautiful presentation, but games are weak.

[@KaptainKlassic]

I'll agree but still think it's worth buying for the remakes and arcade ports alone. Hopefully they do updates and add some games in the near future.

[@yandman26]

@@KaptainKlassic Yeah, I kinda wondered whether there might be some dlc game packs. I mean it's good, but it doesn't shout 50th celebration. The Atari flashback collection on Switch has 150 games, many better than here.

[@SupremeNerd]

this is ATARI50......why would Activision games be on here??? Doesnt make sense

[@KaptainKlassic]

I'm just saying it'd be nice if they were able to get the license for them since some of the greatest 2600 games were Activision.

[@SupremeNerd]

@@KaptainKlassic at the same time, this is Atari's 50th anniversary....Not Activision's or Imagic's, or Parker Bros or M Network's or 20th Century Fox 's so even though these companies made the best games for the Atari 2600, it only makes sense to highlight ATARI in this case. Otherwise create another Flashback Series and get the licenses for the other games

Definitely not a waste of time. You just don't have an attention span.

[@brandonschultz3909]

This was the most disappointing purchase in a long time. Don't listen to this paid advertisement! The games are the worst that Atari had to offer (i.e., no Activision), and the "reimagined" games are marginal at best. This wouldn't be worth the money if you found it at a yard sale for $5.

[@KaptainKlassic]

This definitely wasn't a paid advertisement lol. I understand the selection would be much better with more games like Activision titles but I personally had fun with reimagined games.

[@brandonschultz3909]

@@KaptainKlassic Glad to hear it wasn't paid -- a lot of channels appear to be -- sorry for the false accusation. Agree on the reimagined games, but they could have done better to just put out an entire anthology of reimagined Atari games along those same lines. It's not like you can't access ALL the classics online via Atari emulators, anyway.

[@KaptainKlassic]

@@brandonschultz3909 No problem and I agree with that. This collection had potential to be a lot better than it is especially for it being the big 50th anniversary.
