It looks like Atari is joining the trend of cashing in on nostalgia. :D

Atari isn't expecting its decades-old games to compete on a technical level, like "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City," "Halo" and "Madden NFL 2005" that feature colorful realistic graphics, fast-moving 3-D action and the freedom to roam at will.

Instead, the company is aiming at the nostalgia market.

"It's a time machine. You go back to your childhood and you play," Atari chief executive Bruno Bonnell said.

I still have my Atari, so I'm not sure if I will pick up the Atari Anthology. It depends on what games are on it.
 
Yeah, between the Namco Museum and Midway Arcade Treasures and having the old systems themselves, I'm probably not going to want to get the Atari Anthology.
 
the games never seem to port correctly over to the newer consoles worth a darn, i had a simple pc gaming pactage i got for 10 bucks that was very good.
 
You know what update was done very well though? Pokemon Fire Red. No, seriously. Besides the graphics, they also updated the music (it sounds great), the menus, and even added a new island chain into the game. I picked it up yesterday and played for about an hour and I had a good time with it. I need to level up my team though so that Brock doesn't cream me in the Pewter Gym.
