I wanted them to include Battlezone and Kangaroo.

I personally wanted Pigs in Space, Frogger and Keystone Kappers. It's crazy how a collection so big misses out a lot of the actual classics people remember. I guess it's all down to acquiring the licencing as I imagine a lot of the games in the collection are from Atari themselves

Frogger was not an Atari game so it was a license issue. I was surprised more modern stuff like Rolling Thunder, Area 51, Badlands, Gauntlet, Indiana Jones and the Star Wars games were not included. The focus seemed to be mainly on the games from the 70s and early 80s and of course the Atari 2600 games and so anything that came after that aside for a few Atari 5200 games was exempt.
