Arcade’s Greatest Hits – The Atari Collection 1 is a compilation released in 1996 by Midway Games, developed by Digital Eclipse, for platforms including PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. This collection features six of Atari’s seminal arcade titles from the late 1970s and early 1980s: “Asteroids” (1979), “Battlezone” (1980), “Centipede” (1981), “Missile Command” (1980), “Super Breakout” (1978), and “Tempest” (1981). Each game is emulated to closely mirror its original arcade version, preserving the authentic gameplay experience. The PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions offer an added bonus: a full-motion video documentary titled “The Golden Age of Atari,” which includes interviews with the original developers, providing insights into the creation and impact of these classics. While the compilation was praised for its faithful emulation and historical content, some critics noted that the standard console controllers of the time didn’t replicate the original arcade controls, potentially affecting gameplay precision. Nonetheless, this collection serves as a valuable time capsule, offering both nostalgic players and newcomers a chance to experience the pioneering titles that helped shape the video game industry.
