Sabertooth Posted June 16 Author Report Share Posted June 16 (edited) Atari Mania was announced in an Atari SA french language financial report late last year. At the time, nothing was really known about the title except that it would be a series of mini games. Now we have the first images and a game trailer. What are your first impressions?

Sabertooth Posted June 16 Author Report Share Posted June 16 (edited) An article from Digital Trends calls it "Warioware, but with iconic Atari classics." https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/atari-mania-announcement/ Edited June 16 by Sabertooth Joe, RickR and Stlrs95 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 Very cool! The dark souls version of this is Atari Classics on the PSP where you have to complete the challenges to unlock the 2600 roms, which were so tough few if any ever did.

I never had a PSP but will try that one on emulation. From the article it sounds like they are planning something similar here: Players can unlock remastered versions of old Atari games by completing challenges, so it doubles as a retro collection, like Pac-Man Museum+.

Stlrs95 Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 Looks pretty cool. With the power of the VCS I kind of wish the graphics looked a little better, but I get it is a homage to the 2600 and early Atari. I am interested to see what the "remastered classics" look like though. This is one that is going on my wish list. Joe and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 It's going to be cool to see what the unlockable games are going to be. I hope they do something like they did in the first animal crossing with the n.e.s games Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 If done right, this could be the "killer app" for the VCS. Fingers crossed for goodness. Joe and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 This one needs to use the spinner . Especially if your going to have games like circus atari ,breakout, and warlords Sabertooth and E. King 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
