Classic Game Room HD - ATARI ANTHOLOGY for Xbox review

[MrPooperscoop54321]

its not worth it unless you get custers revenge

[DiabloArcade]

@MrPooperscoop54321

You sir, Fail.

[slogsweep]

Damnit Mark! The number of video games I've gone and bought because of your reviews! You're the single biggest rapist of my bank balance known to man

[mobobber]

The only thing that isn't on here is Pitfall!

[VicenteIbanez2620]

@mobobber

pitfall wasnt made by atari but by activision

[mobobber]

@VicenteIbanez2620 But even if, then you'd have to blow off more cash on Activision Anthology. It's a shame that games are only a scheme for money nowadays.

[deadlygroove1]

@mobobber sounds just like everything else in the 21st century. Movies, Music and any form of mainstream entertainment. It's pretty sad.

[1sketchy]

i baught an atari and atari anthology plus many more game consoles but i had all the games on it so im going to sell ythe game

[Brandon999LFC]

Atari is too old

[Davidthekid7]

I got this game from a school book fair. It was really awesome

[lordbemylight]

Atari 2600 may not have the best emulations of arcade games, but they are a reminder of when life was simple.

[Joethebestest]

Has anyone ever notice right when ps2 and xbox came out Atari and Sega stop making game systems/consoles

[macaronieandsteeze]

@Joethebestest actually segas last console was the dreamcast which came out in 98 and the jaguar was ataris last console which came out in 93, ps2 and xbox had nothing to do with the failure of atari and segas problem was the dreamcast didnt have any hits like the genesis did, but i agree sony is a big part of sega not coming out with anymore consoles. Atari and segas problem where that there final consoles didnt do as well as there previous consoles.

[deadlygroove1]

@macaronieandsteeze Actually the Dreamcast had tons of amazing games. The failure of the Dreamcast was that it was released too early and it didn't play DVDs. The main success to the PS2 was that it played DVD movies.

[macaronieandsteeze]

@deadlygroove1 ooh thanks for the info

[kbimbadeeage]

look at complete edition associated with this video here at a v a t z . n e t  remove spaces

[tomagotchii]

you must love your atari 2600 haahha because you mention it on almost every video sorta.

[codyc67]

Gl playing Swordquest without the manuals :X

[rickycartoon]

I wonder what it would be like if you play the online mode. It would probably be preatty boring.

[SuicideBirdie]

A plain white box with the game title on it? Outside of a toy store... now a days that place would of been crawling with police. xD

[Nachotype908]

do sonic and sega all stars racing pwease

[SauloVideoGameReview]

i have atari anthology for ps2 and controller did not working game for pong, breakout,

SUPER breakout,and warlords.

[TheGoldenLancer]

i have it for p2

[snoochieboochieshc]

i love the old intro for cgr

[1989gamemaster]

Too bad Ms. Pacman and Burgertime weren't there in Atari Anthology.

[ST0PM0SS]

its not the same with the xbox controller.

[Tryzon]

This collection is outstanding! The paddle problem is annoying, but Battlezone and Yars' Revenge are worth the entry fee!

[HernandezFernandofg]

Just got microsoft gold membership from...

GetFreeXboxLive

.

nET

[YoshiUltimate]

What, so if he recommends anything with an Atari logo, he recommends E.T for the 2600?

[Tryzon]

@YoshiUltimate Well since he often gets large bunches of 2600 games in one go to save on postage, it's likely he would have ended up with a few copies of that game whether he wanted to or not. Besides, E.T. is a piece of history, so a collector might want it based on that.

[YoshiUltimate]

@Tryzon

Sorry, I was only joking.

[Snotnarok]

Comedy: A single page scan of an atari manual is larger than an atari game itself, maybe several atari games infact.

[Wolfman9999]

Man my first video game console Atari 2600 but I buy for PS2. Good stuff on Atari games from past ah good times.

[DestinyHeroFlamer]

(obviously I don't have an Xbox 360), but can you use a 360 controller on a standard Xbox game?

[blackdeath1000]

lol and how?

[JESSIEEDSELL21]

@DestinyHeroFlamer only if your playing the xbox game on the 360 othewise no

[SchaufelPKT]

You ought to review the Atari Flashback 2. I have one, and since my 2600 was lost years ago :-( it was a really cost effective way to play 2600 games in their native format. I'd let you borrow it to review it, but I can't part with missile command for that long! Still, get one and review it!

[acidsyringe69]

this game plays on the 360 but midway arcade treasures 2 doesnt? why????????!!!!!!!!!!

[yanibo99]

only tal+cup bean420man!!!!!!

[Tryzon]

I'd imagine that using an original Xbox controller would work better for this collection than a 360 controller, mainly because the original one has a considerably better D-pad. The 360 controller has many advantages over the original, but it's not famed for having a stellar D-pad.

[Tryzon]

I want this very badly indeed. Must get a copy.

[cam5478]

they are coming out with turbo grafx 16 anthology

[bean420man]

I wonder who won that $25000 crown. and to think that there were people who probably wanted that thing.LOL!

[patrkcirtap]

i definately wanted it bro lol

[manic221]

watch AVGN's review he tells you exactly who won unfortunately 2 of the 4 'prizes' went missing there believed be owned by some fat bastard who bought Atari (the Sword is epic you should check it out) I'm no where near old enough to even remember the games i just no about them due to AVGN.

[bean420man]

@manic221 watched it yesterday and laughed my balls off. I remember playing Raiders of the Lost Ark and E.T. with my Dad around 82-83 and those were the same. 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!

[manic221]

Lol breaking into Jack Trameel's house is the new 'SwordQuest' i'm up for it sign me up lmao

[cam5478]

@bean420man it was some guy named daniel for what i remember youcan watch avgns swordquest review and he sais the names of everyone who won

[dog5244]

sweet!

[burpman777]

@MantisTobogganMD ps3 or 360

[maiki60fps]

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.

[e102ewan]

What are you talking about...?

[kulemv]

I dont think you would recommend the atari jaguar

[TheBoksera631]

i agree

[IAMMILITRON]

You would recomend the Atari 7800 controller?!?!?!?! O_O

[IAMMILITRON]

btw this game should be on Vectrex, like everything should be on Vectrex

[neilhockeypro]

loved the warlords cartridge comparison haha!

[seanobi777]

Yeah! A review of DOOM 3 would be awesome!

[hualni]

Sword Quest looks a lot like Indiana Jones on the Atari 2600.

[apeman505]

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. :)

[balllto]

pleas review far cry instincts for original xbox

[PaulHark9]

PWEASE PWEASE PWEASE REVIEW DOOM 3 tank kuu

[MyGodMyCarIsBurning]

Indeed. DOOM 3 OR GTFO

Also

32X OR GTFO

Tahhnkk yaauuuu :)

[Poleyonline]

i got this game and we returned it the day after i got it it really sucked

[vincenzo0069]

DOES IT HAVE SPACE INVADERS??

[franticfury]

You found Swordquest Water World it seems from your latest review of it a few days ago lol

[carddealer758]

my stupid neighbor wanted custard revenge on this

[TheCGIMaster]

its custer's not custard xD

[Patmaster5]

love the song at the end

[tombert256]

I have this for my PS2, which is in a homemade arcade cabinet. It's a nice collection, and the disc only cost me $10. I have an Atari 7800, but I still prefer the disc (except for the paddle games), since I love my arcade pad thingy that I have for my cabinet.

[MattDdirector]

I have this and it's pretty cool, I love the classic arcade games BUT... Do u know if Xbox makes a paddle contoller for games like pong or breakout or a contoller with the ball for Centipede or Crystal castles??

[morgangamer22]

cool

[nibelung34343]

yars revenge HELL YEAH BABY

yall maybe be able to pwn me in halo 3 or cod4 but lets see you rollover the score in yars on 1 life

[osky283]

my dad got me this not even knowing how shiity it was but that was when i was in grade 4 whichj was like 5 years ago

[Retrogamer71]

Woah. Only CGRHD can do this.

A review of a 360 emulating an

XBOX emulating an Atari 2600.

How freaking awesome is this?!!

Man you should review every

game on the anthology. That would

be so cool.

[Danilpferd]

he sounds so bored and ironic

[MediaCult]

Yeah, it's kind weird to choose that style.

[Tryzon]

I think it's because he probably has all of these games in their original catridge form, and would rather be playing them using a joystick like nature intended. Just an observation ^_^

[DXFan1269]

lol i have this on ps2

[shingo7772]

Did you ever find Swordquest Waterworld?

[DigiBOY2000]

I have this game for PS2,also.THIS IS A COOL VIDEO !!!

[mrpoo990]

I swear that this guy loves every single video game ever created!

[MetalGearNaked]

Anything with an Atari logo? Even E.T.?

[sidexwalk]

you spell like old people fuck

[xgamer3000]

How old are you? And how does having this game for the 360 make the Wii "etter"? Not that the Wii is a bad system.

[K155fan]

You would reccomend E.T?!?!?!?

what he said he would reccomend any atari game

[mooseboy101]

or pac-man!

[DunfoVisos]

it is actualy the baddest game on the planet,and i dont think its atari,and i mean its baaad.

[comsucks]

360 gos better more doom!!

[essej]

why not have an anthology of absolutely obscure random ganes that suck like, the ones on the amiga C64 apple or ZxSpectrum ?

Call it anthology of awful, im sure it will sell just fine.

[natje360]

lol gaming below the 8bit geneneration is realy crap. how can you get in those games? i realy tried i got mad from the worst sounds ever and graphics pheww lol i know its the origin of gaming respect 4that but playing this?nope :)

[brpadington]

Atari is 8bit

[marty7044]

stop saying hunderd!!! it's HUNDRED!!!!

[puppetmaster983]

screw you! The atari 2600 still has the record for 2nd best game system of all time!

[guilortha]

natje360

Your grounded !

[americathefat101]

lol seriously

[linkeffect82]

Very nice review, and a terrific game it looks like. I'm not a big old school fan (Though I had played a few atari games when I was a kid at a neighbor's house), but this review makes me very tempted to buy this game, if I get a 360 that is.

Great review, five stars!

[dnlhern]

What's "Trippy Mode"

[bananafreakingidiot]

ATARI THE MOST FUCKING CONSOLE EVER

[Lachlant1984]

What ever do you mean by "The mose fucking console ever?"

[bonggzilla]

yeah this is a nice compilation i have it for my ps2

it`s allmost the same buy it for xbox or ps2 it`s really a time travel in gaming history

[coollyaid]

hi classic game reoom hey you should watch my review classic game room some thoughts because i was thinking if you could comment and add me to friends list more info in the vi

deo

[rich38491]

Ive spent most of today watching your vidoes. You have inspired me to buy another mega drive & NES.. Thanks had so much fun with it when i was younger. you need to do a live feed that would be well cool.

[downphoenix]

good times.

I hope to see you review Activision Anthology if you haven't already, that game really included a nice collection of Activision classics and included some rare games, even a few that were never properly released.

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[skater3031]

i have that game its bad ass

[yohatube]

ahhh the wood age.... I miss it.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Aw bless, did daddy let you use his computer and you were a naughty boy and wrote naughty words?

You'll be made to go back to your room with the special padded walls if it happens again.

[cabarto]

They do grow up so fast these days, don't they?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Indeed they do, Just a shame in his case it isn't mentally.

[RockingGames]

its on the ps2, right?

[justlikedavid138]

and thats awesome that it shows you what each game variation is, no more matrix hunting!

[justlikedavid138]

better than halo 3 by a wide margin

[boodyboygamer]

you should review activision lives next time

[Wirld]

You should do a review on "Intellivison Lives" (Something along those lines) for the XBLA.

[KaskelotenZebbe]

Do you also recommend the Atari Jaguar CD, a.k.a. "The Toilet"? ;)

[Spheremaster0001]

I Have Sword Quest Water World In The Box in like new condition (played but just barly) How much is it worth?

[cabarto]

Let Ebay be your guide.

[atm94404]

That MadCatz 360 controller has a paddle on it. How well do Breakout, Pong, etc work with that controller?

[InecomCompany]

Check our review of that controller, but it did not work well. -CGRHD

[yo4279]

I just noticed that Magnavox and Xbox ends With a "Box".

[Msdos4]

I personally prefer the Activision Anthology, but I might buy this too.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Aw, you didn't mention you can play the arcade versions of most of the 2600 games.

But you should check out Intellevision Lives on th ePS2 as well.

[atm94404]

Intellivison Lives is available for the Xbox and for download on the 360.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Really? I'll have to look for that then!

[Rep2369]

Markquest Waterworld FTW! :D

[XANA8446]

what happened to your dog in the videos??

[KamratSvenneryd]

I gotta get it for my PS2 :D

[boomstick545]

this is a great deal for someone with no ataris

[masteriansun]

high definition atari graphics are so sharp you can actually cut yourself on the blocks.

[Leoooonard]

thats awesome

[Leoooonard]

oh btw classic game room i have a copy of SwordQuest EarthWorld is it worth much?

[SashaNein]

Nope, WaterWorld is the one that's worth boatloads. Search google for 'digitpress' and they have an online price guide.

[Coolandstressing]

You recommend ANYTHING with an atari logo?? I thought you didn't enjoy the Atari 2600 version of Pac Man...

[TenguGuy]

Or the Atari 7800 joystick controller.

[Coolandstressing]

Good observation. ;-)

[InecomCompany]

Noooooooooo! You got me there. "Almost anything" :) -CGRHD

[redMnM22]

Wow, that looks awesome. I'm seriously gonna look into getting that since my 2600 just broke on me.

[sinistermoon]

Right on I used to have the PC version of this. Dont know what I did with it lol. I think there was a part 2 of it as well. Not sure tho. Awesome review as always.

[Psyke89]

Hum, the first Original Xbox review. Speaking of anthologys, ever tried the "Actiovision Anthology" for the PS2/PSP?

[Shintai123]

You should make a vid of you trying to find the game and hopefully actually finding it, I think it could be entertaining.

[DJEmergency]

you should review lunar lander. No body has reviewed it yet.

[iamDelBoy]

all versions of lunar lander made me go crazy

i never could land that damn ship

[IronFury]

Yeah, I got the PC versio for Christmas a couple of years ago.

[delfmeek]

I prefer to call Outlaw with only one player "Cowboy Suicide".

Nothing beats the real thing, such as an Atari 2600 System. Yars Revenge in HD rules.

[bmdposse]

That's really taking me back to the days

[WhateverTV11]

i have that game
