NoobFeed Editor Daav Valentaten writes - As an archival effort, Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is, indeed, a joyous effort. In fact, it's arguable that this is the best that Atari has put out in recent years. The historical timeline alone is a pristine and impressive feature, as only developer Digital Eclipse can make it.
Atari 50's latest DLC, The First Console War, brings new platforms and new games to the massive collection. While the games are arguably not great, the archival footage and the interview package definitely is.
Atari 50's The First Console War shows how the first big competitor to Atari’s dominating 2600 console came in the form of Mattel’s Intellivision. But they certainly didn’t stop there!
"With the release of The First Console War, the second DLC expansion for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, developer Digital Eclipse has seemingly completed its mission to present the most comprehensive interactive documentary on Atari possible. Much like the previous expansion, this latest release lacks some of the cohesion of the main game, but is nevertheless another fascinating peek into the history of one of gaming’s most iconic brands." - Ollie Reynolds | NintendoLife
I enjoy it, warts and all.
