Top 10 Atari Jaguar Games Feature - November 1995

Atari began in 1972 as a pioneer in arcade games, video game consoles, and computers. Pong and the Atari 2600 helped define the entertainment industry for video games during the 1970s to the mid 1980s time frame. The Atari 2600 was the most successful game console designed and sold by Atari; unfortunately, Atari encountered financial problems during the infamous video game crash of 1983.

I love the Atari 2600. The original, the emulators, all of it. I love the games, the retro feel, the memories. I had an Atari, after all. Most children of the 70s did.

Atari made some of the very fist and best video games. Many of these games went on to be remade into games we enjoy today, and some just remained classics that every little kid loved to play. Wether they were re-made or preserved in their classic state, here is a list of the top ten Atari Games ever made.

As gamers we tend to remember, or at least know, our roots. Game consoles have come a long way,but you just can not forget the old systems that helped pave the way for todays more extensive, graphic oriented video games. The Atari was loads of fun and still is in our house. These are my top 10 picks for Atari games.

The Atari Lynx came out in 1989, mere months after the Game Boy. It was originally designed by Epyx in 1987, when it was known as the Handy. Epyx did not have the money to launch the system, and Atari wanted to venture into the handheld market. So, Atari agreed to slap their name on the product, distribute it, and advertise it. Both Epyx and Atari developed games for the system after its release.

CPC Game Reviews is a website which, as its name suggests, contains reviews of games for the Amstrad CPC computer - hundreds of them, in fact. It also contains a collection of advertisements which have been scanned from Amstrad CPC magazines.

Here we are another year, and another list for you to look at. Seriously why do we need to show off a list of games for a 16 bit console that most people call the 2nd best for its time? Because it OWNED, that's why. The Sega Genesis was when gaming went from toy to fanism, where lines were drawn in the sand and you either wore the blue or the red. If you were in LA at the time, you could not go into a red neighborhood without being mocked about blast processing. Riots ensued and musicals were written (...c'mon no one saw that piece I did 8 years ago?) and to this day the Genesis does what the Nintendon't, and by that I mean make good Saturday morning cartoons.

I asked the forumites of four separate forums (atari-forum, AtariAge, Retro Gamer and Eurogamer) to name their top 5 games and collated the scores...

These pages (created by me, ATMachine) showcase some interesting info on selected LucasArts adventures.

The Most Important Games Ever Made

Atari's first -- and last -- venture into handheld gaming might not have been commercially successful, but it was most certainly a special time in gaming. With hardware designed by the engineers of the Amiga, and a first party lineup from legendary Commodore-era developer Epyx, the Lynx would prove to be the beginning and end of a new age for Atari. The Lynx was slinging around 16-bit pseudo-3D while Nintendo's green-and-purple screens struggled to replicate NES games. It might have been the unique hardware design with unlimited sprite-pushing and hardware scaling, or simply the way it was so dominated by a strong first party line-up, but it's hard to ignore the cult appeal of Atari's handheld wonder.
