If they're going back to all the old acquisitions of Activision this has the potential to be huge.  

We never owned an Atari so I got my start on the Apple IIe, PC, and NES.  The only thing on this list that jumps out to me is Caesar II...but i don't even remember that game being all that good.

yeah i believe these are all Activision published....   The Atari 50th anniversary collection  is also pretty enjoyable (if you like playing around with the old school games)


This Retro Classics i believe is part of AntStream... Which has somewhere over 1500 titles  (i dont own so not sure if they are any good or whats available there)

Most of these titles are multi platform which is always good.

No issue picking up a Switch 2 from Target sans pre-order. Made me happy on two levels. First because scalpers can go suck a fat one. Second that I can pause Elden Ring for a little bit. Great game, but benefits from having some time away every once in a while to recharge the desire for exploration.
