Classic Game Room HD – ATARI ANTHOLOGY for Xbox review

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under anthology | 25 Comments »

Classic Game Room HD reviews ATARI ANTHOLOGY for Xbox, which also works on the Xbox 360 video game console. This amazing collection has dozens of Atari 2600 classic video games, as well as a number of arcade classics, all on one disc like Missile Command, Yars’ Revenge, Swordquest Waterworld and Space War! The games play out in fabulous 1080i HDTV graphics and look better than they did on the Atari 2600 (although in many cases that may not be a good thing, but this is emulation and these are emulated Atari 2600 games and they still rock!) Instead of using the standard Atari 2600 single button, single joystick controller you play all of these Atari and arcade hits using your Xbox or Xbox 360 controller. Atari Anthology is also available for the Playstation 2 PS2 video game system although CGRHD has not reviewed that version. We do however like the Atari Anthology disc for Xbox and played it with our 360 and give it two hearty beers up. Classic Game Room is your home for the best classic video game reviews anywhere in the known universe, or univereses that you don’t know, understand or could possibly fathom. A bunch of angels in some far of heaven meets disco wonderland universe coul make a video game review show with naked girls, beer drinking and talking frogs and it would still suck compared to Classic Game Room (we made that up, talking frogs would be awesome!)

If u lost the booklet u were screwed. now u have to break into jack Trameel’s house to get the sword and crown. I’m down to try it, escpecially with gold prices what they are today!

    Flashing your 360 …
    Flashing your 360 is too much of a risk and too much of a hassle. It’s not worth getting banned from XBL. I just put up a video on my profile for how to play burned games without flashing your HDD or getting banned.

    I don’t even have to see the real thing and I can already tell you there is going to be a BIG BUT with this release. Stock Xbox CANNOT output old school low resolution. It only outputs 480 scanlines interlaced, which is completely incorrect. That’s why this compilation will never ever look like a real Atari VCS. You might consider looking for PS2 or Nintendo Wii instead. These console do have low res output, though it is not for sure the authors used it for this release.

    lol, I picked that game up a couple weeks ago and had a blast screwin’ around with all the games on it. I must confess a lot of them are boring if you’re not in the correct mindset to play ‘em, and I’m not a fan of the menu screens or new features they’ve added. The arcade games would also be better if they didn’t add the arcade machine borders to them, too. Still, I picked this game up for $12 used. 85 games for $12 is pretty dang good in my opinion. :)
