- We know about the Atari 50 collection that came out a little over a year ago, but what about this one? This game, called Atari Flashback Classics, came out 3 years prior, and even has more games. Could this be the better option over Atari 50?

Arari announced at PAX East just a couple of weeks ago that new dlc for Atari 50 is coming later this year.
Oh nice, that’s good to hear
I hope it’s more Jag, Lynx and 7800 games. I think we good on the 2600 front.
@sloppynyuszi I am hoping for 2600 Miner 2049er Volume II. I think we could see Jaguar Bubsy and some ST titles from the MicroProse deal. I also hope Atari buys Battlezone back, and we get Battlezone arcade and maybe some ports.
WOW!
@@jeremiahthomas8140 Atari ST would be good. The 2600 was before my time in the sense that when it was relevant I didn’t like it, and didn’t get the appeal. I didn’t really like games until I was 10 and by then the Mega Drive was a thing.
I got the Atari 50 for Jaguar love. Atari Kart, Tempest 2000 and Cybermorph are worth coming back to. The documentary was fun and made it the old titles I didn’t care give me more respect, but I only played them once.
Would love some of the later Atari Arcade titles to be added like hard drivin’, Road Blaster, Primal Rage 1 and 2, Area 51 to be added, and honestly I would love to play Kasumi Ninja and checkered flag, just to hear more stories about it. Actually more video interviews about the Jaguar years would be nice.
The Atari backstory and videos really made me enjoy 50 a lot.
The documentary is just incredible. By far 50 is better to me.
I like the variety on 50th more than Flashback, but both have great lists of games. That said, both are missing FAST FOOD 😭
So ... Buy both?
Done. On multiple platforms.
I bought both.
Yes.
So true Legit... Too Legit to quit.
I bought both on multiple platforms as well.
There are unresolved issues with emulation on the PS4 ports of Flashback. In Missile Command for the 2600, the missile trails don’t show up on the orange sky level. This was fixed for the Switch version. I have a video of the broken PS4 version on my channel.
Good stuff. I didn't realize their previous collections had emulation issues. Nice find.
Thanks for covering this pojr!😄
Any time!
the fact you can emulate every atari game ever made with modern technology, ATARI 50th anniversary at least gives you extra stuff to do
True. I imagine the 2600 is one of the easiest consoles to emulate, since it's very primitive.
I have both. I got Atari 50 mostly for the documentary presentation and for the game representation
Atari 50 definitely has more polish. I do like the timeline feature, you can learn a lot about the history of Atari from it.
Atari 50 is basically a playable documentary. I have dozens of ways to play bare bones emulated Atari games. Atari 50 all the way.
Well said. Atari 50 is indeed a playable documentary, and it's great for that reason.
Atari's Greatest Hits Volume 1 has the best menu music ever
@3:51 - I bought an @Games Legends Ultimate Arcade Cabinet about a year ago. It's surprisingly well made for the price and I was able to use a USB stick to add my own games. It's not as well built as a real cabinet but the joystick and buttons feel the same.
The 2018 version with rewind is best
I only wanted Jaguar and Lynx games especially so Atari 50 for me. A huge Atari arcade collection WITH all the original console content PLUS that newer Atari stuff like the Lynx, Jaguar and 7800 would be fantastic.
Personally I would love to see if M2 could somehow work miracles with the 7800 creating better games than normal, at least for the sound.
Imagine M2 making 7800 games, that would be fantastic. Atari 50 definitely has more support for obscure consoles.
Both seem solid options depending on ones needs, as I have the Flashback and always found a solid offering for classic Atari games. I also like how the "50" version approaches the history of the company and its games, so I'll for sure grab that at some point as well.
And on a side note, Major Havoc had a unique controller, as it was like a trackball, but only allowed for left to right movements, so more of a trackwheel(instead of the ball). So when jumping in the game that was how you moved left to right(not my a digital joystick), and it was analog same as a trackball. So when playing that game on modern devices, the jump is going to feel off as you don't have the proper controller the game was designed with. I actually never saw it on any other Atari games, so it may be one of a kind, as Atari were the masters of unique arcade controls.
do you know if there's a USB adapter for an atari 2600 paddle controller? I'd love to play kaboom and breakout emulated with a paddle.
@@ianswift3521 I actually have the Vita version and it allows for analog stick controls, as well as touch screen. Not sure if any other options would be possible, as the Vita was mainly a handheld. So I don't see covering any other type of plug and play, but sometimes collections like this have hidden options that may have what your looking for.
Okay, I know I was critical of your round ups in the past but can we have the nice music from that old fighting game I forget again 😂.
Love your vids though, man. So relaxing. Can’t believe you weren’t around during Atari’s hay day.
I love your channel, being born in the early 80’s the Atari 2600 was my introduction to video games 🎮 I don’t think the 2600 gets enough love these days, another great video 👍🏻 keep up the good work
Thank you!
That's going to be a HARD disagree for me. I like Atari 50 because I'm a younger player who's never had these consoles back when they were new. Atari was on their way out when I was still a toddler and wasn't a gamer yet. Things like the 5200, 7800, Lynx, and Jaguar are rare and expensive now due to being flops, so I would rather play a smaller, but more varied collection that doesn't require me to spend hundreds on those games AND consoles. And since I'm a younger gamer, the 1990s section is what I prefer anyway. I like games like Scrapyard Dog (both of them) that have definitive beginnings and endings and are more like the Nintendo games I grew up with.
It would be awesome if Atari released retro controllers compatible with other systems besides the VCS (especially the Switch). Also would be awesome if they had 7800 games, as well as Activision and other 3rd party software.
Thank you for your reviews on classic games. I am 66 years old and I enjoy playing the older games on newer consoles. Might have to get Atari Classics for the switch. Thank you again!
Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Im sad i cant okay the Atari collection on Android anymore. It says "this app is not available for your device"
Before I say what I’m about to say yes I know this info came after the release of this video anyways after the Atari acquisition of Intellivision one thing that can make 50 look better is the fact they are adding Intellivision games
The atgames version has touch control on a portable Nintendo switch making the paddle games like pong playable.
I will say, for what AtGames is known for, I do like my Genesis Flashback HD (the SD card one, excellent) and the Genesis handheld (with Neto Bootloader, it’s a necessity for that handheld)
Mr. Pojr you're my favorite creator now. Loving your work keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Do you have the option to play one player on the sports games on one or both of these?
On Flashback Classics, some sports games require 2 players. For example, Atari Football for the Arcade wouldn't let me play 1 player only.
@@pojr that's too bad. Thanks for the heads up!
ive loved these atari compilations ever since the Atari Arcade Hits vol 1 and 2 for Win98.
I have flashback i may buy the other i love retro games like these.
You'll probably love it. Not as many games, but it does support more consoles, and it has nice bonus features.
You forgot the elephant in the room which is online play. All of the app game collections have online play but is better on Nintendo because you could be in the waiting room for 150 different games versus the Xbox and Playstation where you could only be in the waiting room for 50 games at most and have to switch collections if you want to switch to a different discs.
Also if you have an Xbox adaptive controller you can get real paddle controllers working with games that best use it. I don't think the Pro Controller is that good for paddle games because you have to fight centering resistance. Atari paddle games are one of those few games that really need paddle controllers and everything else is just cheap imitators. Luckily you can get them working with an Xbox adaptive controller and a controller to Nintendo switch
Atari 50 is a totally different thing than the flashback. Digital Eclipse/Atari pretty much set a new standard of how you put together a compilation package start to finish. Llamasoft The Jeff Minter Story is put together in a similar way.
0:41 chipi chipi chapa chapa
Technically that older Atari colleciton is better; if you are looking to have more Atari games in one compilation. The thing with me is; that I don't really like Atari games as they are too outdate even for my retro tastes; which start at Sega Master System, NES and above. I like the Atari 50 better simply because of it's presntation and video content.
As somone with a modern version of the Atari Lynx (the Steam Deck is probably larger than the Lynx) I must play Lynx games.
Someone should do a licensed package across systems, it's just a shame great games like Intellivision Lock 'n Chase and Burgertime, let alone Alien vs Predator Arcade, have never seen home releases.
Yeah there's a ton of licensing to negotiate, but as it is no one is making money off them anyways, so why NOT work out something that's reasonable and nets you a little extra revenue?
What is it about companies choosing to price their IP into being shelved for eternity instead of putting them to work?
Trust me the costs are really high. Not only do you have to work out licensing terms (which negotiations take time and money to instigate), but it's still expensive to license anything. Just because nobody is making money right now doesn't mean that it's cheap to do it - the reason nobody is making money is the licensing is cost prohibitive.
@@purelogarithm *Sigh* A guy can dream.
I wonder how they even set their rates?. I know if I had an IP that everyone was willing to pay for but that I set at a prohibitively high licensing fee, i'd at least be open to negotiating to the benefit of all parties, because the alternative is what they've been doing with those classic games: sitting on them.
Where's the sense in that? How is demanding such a high rate that no one can do anything with your property a smart move?
AtGames seems like the new LJN.
LJN at least made awesome ThunderCats toys back in the mid 80's 😸
Don't forget about the Vita port of Vol #3!
Is any of them have Enduro?
I will only buy Atari collection if it contains Enduro.
If not, PHoK
Great job
I’m not the biggest fan of Atari, but I will get Atari 50 as I would love to play a lot of their arcade games more than anything else.
I love them both!!!
Flashbacks also has online leaderboards…50 does not. Buy both, as they’re both great collections.
Discord link is not working
What happens when you click on discord.com/invite/fjM9ybm33S
@@pojr thanks this link is working but the old one says "invite invalid"
Awesome video !! Digital Eclipse is the best !!!
Thank you! And yeah I love digital eclipse's work
I have "Atari Vault" on Steam, which is the same collection as "Flashback Classics" but with some differences in the menus and stuff. It got delisted right before Atari 50 came out so it's not an option any more.
I would say the contest between the two boils down to quality versus quantity. Yes, Flashback Classics/Vault has more games, but the exclusives are a lot less impressive compared to the exclusives Atari 50 has, with the most impressive ones being the Mattel games as compared to 50 having Lynx and Jaguar stuff. I also put a lot of stock in Atari 50's bonus content. It's like an interactive documentary, and I actually found the history stuff to be more fun than the games. A lot of games this old are going to have very niche appeal (how many people get really excited about being able to play games like Air-Sea Battle or Basic Math unless they grew up with them? Let's be honest, not a ton of people), but the history of Atari is well worth reading and watching, especially since it intertwines a lot with the birth of video gaming as a hobby.
Just getting both collections is a reasonable enough solution, at least for now while both of them can be acquired inexpensively, but if you only want one, Atari 50 is definitely my choice. It's probably also worth noting that most of the games Atari 50 added in that free update had been on Flashback Classics, and they DID claim there would be more updates in the future. If there are, I'm willing to bet the Flashback Classics exclusives list will shrink further.
Yeah I think quantity vs quality is a good way to compare Atari Flashback Classics vs Atari 50. Well said.
Is that Ewok Star Wars on this or any other Atari Collection? It would of been kool if they made a replica 2600 controller that's modified for these systems... #NewSub #ThumbsWayUp 👍☁️👍
yes but
What are the games that Flashback has that 50 does not ?
that's what the viewers want to know ...
i think they are both great
I just purchased Atari 50 for the VCS and it crashes. Haha!
No the point of buying the first is to play Jaguar games
I just want berserk arcade❤
I own both 😊
Atgames is still trash. I bought the atgames legends core max, tried to update the firmware out of the box, and what did it tell me? I did not have enough memory to update the firmware. Out of the box? What trash!
In that case can I have it please? Originally when I saved enough money I was going to buy it purely because I didn't a single one of it's games yet
But wanted to into retro gameing despite my difficult budget 😅
So unless you just want to keep it for similar reasons I'd gladly take care it and leave your channel a shout out
I know this sounds like a comment done a eight year old but I'm sincerely telling the truth as a young adult i don't have a lot of Disposable income to chance on games I may or may not like otherwise I'd probably blow it on the latest forza lol
Should have bought 2018 version
Where is Gauntlet ?!?
Atari 50 isn't a game collection. It's literally a digital museum. The classics collection is just a ROM dump.
Jaguar and Lynx games trump more 2600 games
Nahhh, I’m sticking to my Atari 5200.
I hate copyright trolls did buy up many of the older games with the others being sat on by the true ip older, however not much better than the trolls in my eyes. Maybe they could work with content like this vs DMCA scams or nothing. I would pay for pitfalll DLC pitfall updated take. I wanted to see games done like movies if you sit on it you lose it, ever 10 years you must do something with the IP.
I'll take quality over quantity Atari 50 for the win
50 ftw, imho
All of those are so archaic they should not be classified as games.even the "arcade" stuff can run on a potato.really should be illegal to keep re-selling archaic stuff.again should not be classified as games
I disagree. Atari 50 is better because it's not just a simple collection of emulated games unlike Atari Flashback.
6:46 dude, it's Quest of Ki. YEARS BEFORE QUEST OF KI. what even.
Neither, the upcoming UFO 50 is the best games collection. It may not have 115 or 150 games or even be a collection of Atari games but it’s cooler and better.
Atari 50th aneversery collection is better.
