Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2

SCORE: 84

I am very thankful my dad purchased a copy of Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 on the Playstation 4. I was looking for something interesting to live stream on Twitch and decided this would be a good one. Plus all of the games I played were turned into videos that will appear on all the video sites we are affiliated with. Some of those sites take longer to get videos online based on their limitations and lack of revenue being generated on them.

There are fifty games in all on Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2. Seven of the games on Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 are from the arcades. The arcade games on Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 are Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Crystal Castles, Gravitar, Major Havoc, Missile Command,Red Baron, Sprint 2, and Super Breakout. All of these are really old video games so expect the graphics to be not that great. Even the arcade games.

The Atari 2600 video games on the Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 disc are A Game of Concentration, Adventure, Asteroids, Atari Video Cube, Basic Math, Brain Games, Breakout, Casino, Championship Soccer, Checkers, Chess, Code Breaker, Crystal Castles, Demons to Diamonds, Double Dunk, Flag Capture, Golf, Gravitar, Hangman, Haunted House, Maze Craze, Missile Command, Night Driver, Off the Wall, Outlaw, Race, Realsports Baseball, Realsports Basketball, Realsports Tennis, Return to Haunted House, Secret Quest, Sentinel, Sky Diver, Spacewar, Starship, Stellar Track, Street Racer, Sub Commander, Super Breakout, Surround, and Video Pinball.

I ran into some problems with the controls in some of the games on the Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 disc. There are also games on Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 that require two players. I was live streaming Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 alone so I was unable to play them. I find that pretty lame. Why is the game only local multiplayer? Why can’t one person play the game?

The issues families need to be aware of with Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 is violence, and gambling. If you play the games on Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 you will most likely need to learn how to play some of them. I also forgot how to play Checkers. It has been many moons since I played Checkers as a kid. I was much better at playing Chess though. Plenty of games on Atari Flashback Classics Volume 2 for families to get their money’s worth. Very historical.
