Oh cool, Atari anniversary was in my wishlist, but I am kinda 50/50 on it. Never even heard of Llamasoft game, will check it out.
I watched the video about Tetris Forever, they did some fun things with (local?) multiplayer. Well, at least it looked fun in the trailer, don't know how fun it is when actually playing it.
Retrorealms game look pretty good. Hope they release more such games.
I didn't grow up with Atari, I was born a bit later. So I don't have any memories attached to it. But I really liked the format and I think you can really enjoy the games more in the context of the interactive documentary. And some of them are just timeless classics. Llamasoft is the story of Jeff Minter, one legendary game developer who's developed so many games. It must be great to learn about his career and play the games in this doc format.
I hope Retrorealms is doing well, because the game hints at new games in the future. I can imagine Freddy Krueger being next...
I don't have too many memories of Atari either, but I do recall playing some when I was very young, so could be interesting.
