Let's see. The games suck, so that's no help, they're all uniformly terrible nobody wants to actually play them. You can readily buy actual copies of the original versions for about the same price, so they aren't really collectible. Atari has very little cache among gamers (relative to say, Nintendo).

Who is this for again?

The games suck

You think Pitfall, River Raid, and Chopper Command suck?

Great games, I also loved Yars Revenge.

The 2600 versions? Yeah, I do.
