Activision Anthology

With a ton of great games that still hold up to today’s standards, as well as all the extras and the little touches that show that Anthology was lovingly crafted as opposed to hastily slapped together, as many similar collections tend to be, it’s hard to find any reason not to recommend it.

A ridiculous variety of games coupled with hundreds of Easter eggs and other bells and whistles. It is easily the best such collection to come along yet.

It's far from perfection, but if classic gaming is in your blood or piquing your curiosity, this Anthology is for you.

Highly recommended IF you’re old-enough to afford waxing nostalgically about the good old Atari VCS days.

The sheer number of playable games and unlockable items and the slick production values make it a great value for any gamer with an interest in the roots of console gaming as we know it.

One of the best things about this compilation is that by scoring certain amounts of points in various games, players can unlock original Activision television commercials.

Sure they are the forefathers of today's Grand Theft Autos and MechAssaults, but I don't crap in an outhouse like my great grandpappy did more than 100 years ago.
