Activision Hits Remixed


It's time to take a trip down memory lane as Activision Hits Remixed flashbacks to retail shops nationwide. The most comprehensive collection of Atari 2600 games is now within reach in one nostalgia-filled package for the PSP. Get re-acquainted with 40 of the classic titles that usher the golden age of gaming. With titles like Pitfall, Kaboom!, Chopper Command, Stampede and Keystone Kapers, old-time (and even new) gamers will surely get a kick out of playing these classic games, that by today's standards, are simpler and easier to finish. That's not to say you can complete the game with your eyes closed. You'd be surprised how some of the games can still test your wits and challenge your reflexes, even until now.

Activision Hits Remixed has multiplayer support and wireless functionality, enabling players to out-score one another, either by alternating turns or simultaneously. As a bonus, the compilation squeezed in a host of retro unlockables which include television ads, original game manuals, and Activision Patches. You might even have a blast listening to 80s-themed soundtracks which include such songs as "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell, "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister and "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats.

The compilation retails for US$ 19.99.

no..

I don't think its that bad. I loved the old atari games. Coming in at $20 dollars, this is a pretty sweet deal. If you don't like older games, don't even read the article in the first place and save yourself some lost time.

Wha?

"simpler and EASIER TO FINISH?" Who wrote this article, and have they ever PLAYED an Atari game? Some of these things have so many levels and such a high challenge curve, as the levels progress, that you'll NEVER finish them.
