I own this version (DC) as well of Atari Anniversary.

I personally never use the cabinet graphics settings because these make the screen way too small. I use full-screen.

The disc is great -- but it doesn't allow you to save high scores unfortunately -- but the gameplay is there. I appreciate DC's high resolution too!

I think that Crystal Castles is my most played title on this disc.

I picked it for my avatar so you know what I think of it :)
Very well done and all the extra stuff is excellent. I play it full screen also.

The only thing that ever bothers me about any of these classic game complilations is that all of the games are sort of fuzzy, especially any text displayed within the game. I know the reasons why they are but it still bothers me a little. For example, I picked up Namco for my GC and the case showed all these beautiful, clear screen shots of Pac Man Arrangement, Dig Dug Arrangement, etc... but loading the game up they were no where near as good looking as what was pictured on the package. I'll still buy these all (especially the upcoming Midway Treasures), enjoy them, and appreciate that the companies made them available. I just wish they looked a little better.

But Atari Anniversary is GREAT!! and highly recommended.

The picture quality is due to the T.V and not the software.
Get yourself a VGA box and it will soon become clear ;)

It's a great disc, well worth the money I paid for it. Plus, I got TWO Atari stickers in my copy! Score!

Was the game sealed when you bought it? I only got one sticker :sad:

The disc rocks, btw. 8)

Is the DC version the best coversion of these games? I have the PS1 version and didn't care for it that much... The GBA advanced version must be extremely rare seeing it sells on Ebay for over $50...

Yeah, it was sealed... it was only supposed to come with 1 sticker, I just got lucky. I've heard of others who didn't get a sticker at all, so maybe the quality control was a little off that day.

It's great ... as is the PSX version, and even the GBA one, which you can still find

How rare is the GBA Atari anniversary edition? For it to be so high on E-bay? I saw it at Toy-R-Us for about $25...Something don't sound right...
