Post - Retro Atari Disk?


About a year and a half ago I got a disk with retro Atari games on it. Some were the home version and there were a bunch of retro arcade quality games, too.

There was a promotion where the disk came in a box of cereal. Did anybody else here get that?

Was it for the computer? I have gotten ones out of the cereal boxes but never the Atari one. I never had any luck getting them to run on my computer though.

This one definitely ran on my PC. I think you had the choice of running it from the disk, or loading everything onto your hard drive.

It would bog down for a few minutes at times, but I'm not sure why that was.

The arcade games were exactly as they were on the machines, from what I can remember.

I have yet to reinstall it after my hard drive melt down a few weeks ago, but it had what I guess were a bunch of console games that I wasn't familiar with and also Centipede, Millipede, Battlezone, Breakout and others that looked exactly like arcade games from a couple decades ago.

There were about 80 in all.
