I think this is cool and very generous of them to offer 100 of their games as part of the bundle. I always love it when classic games are re-released, especially when they're given extra features and achievements. I'm curious as to what the "re-imagining" means.

I haven't been interested in the steam controller so far since I use an Xbox One controller for my PC but I think the track ball games will put it to great use and that alone would make me consider getting one if I do get this collection of Atari games.

Davideo7 : What I'm excited about the most is the multiplayer because I'm really curious as how some of the games would run and if there would be competitions and such, which would be really cool. Not only would you be bringing back the games, but giving new players more of a reason to play.

zanderlex : Great point, I didn't even think about the multiplayer. There have been a lot of Atari compilations over the years but none of them as far as I know had online multiplayer so this will be really cool actually. And since Vizzed doesn't offer netplay to Atari 2600 very effectively, this will be a great option for the retro gamers to play with each other in these old classics.

Has there been an announcement on the price of this? I'm really interested in it, seeing as it will have online multiplayer and leaderboards. So excited!

LunarDarkness2 : If it's a steam game then it probably isn't going to be too expensive since those are usually not as expensive as retail games in stores. If I were to take a guess, I bet this collection will cost around $30 and I think that'd be a pretty fair price for it. The Rare Replay collection has 30 Rare games and almost all of them are far bigger and more modern than an Atari game so it wouldn't make any sense to have this collection cost more than $30. I also think $30 is probably the most I'd be willing to pay for this collection unless it really amazes us with extra features.

Those Atari FlashBack systems usually cost around $60 and come with nearly 100 games. They're obviously more expensive to produce since it's hardware being sold and it's being distributed in stores. Just another reason why I think this collection will cost around $30 which is half that price.

Davideo7 : Atari did say that its mainly a regular PC game right now, with a "possibility" that it releases on steam. Also, the first look will actually be this weekend at PAX South.

zanderlex : Hopefully it comes to Steam because if it's going to have online multiplayer, I think that Steam is the best platform for it when it comes to PC. Hopefully it'll also make its way to consoles eventually.

Davideo7 : The thing that happened was that news sites were reporting the game will be on steam, only because the game will have controller support, though it should be officially confirmed whether it will be on steam between tomorrow and Sunday.

Oh good lord,no. Atari will NEVER be forgiven for all the crapware they authorized. E.T.,the porn games,(seriously),the "multiple" games (which were really just minor variants of the base game.)

zanderlex : Another big reason why I'd love to see it get Steam support is for the achievements. I'm not sure if they'd plan to add achievements if it does come to Steam but having achievements added to these old classics would definitely add a ton of replay value to these games. I could easily see myself trying to get every single achievement from every single game, assuming they aren't too tough. When SEGA released their Genesis collection (which was multiplatform), I got every achievement in the game and the game had 1 achievement for each game and the game had nearly 50 SEGA games in it (mostly genesis but some arcade, master system and 32x as well).

Davideo7 : well, a lot of those games are pretty simple so I doubt there would be many achievements, I think there mighty only be 1 or 2 for each game that has them.

It's been a while since there's been any news on this, but a few things happened. The game has been confirmed for Steam and will be developed by the guys who made Rare Replay and a few other ports. The game is rumored to be released in either April or May, will feature full original soundtracks (70's-80's versions) for each game and features online leaderboards but probably not achievements.
