From Pong to VCS to Jaguar, to celebrate Atari’s 50th anniversary, a new collection has arrived that combines an interactive museum with emulated games – including a few new bonus titles. At the meeting of Atari 50-The Anniversary Celebration suits us guest veteran Stephan Freundorfer aside, who looks back on a happy Atari childhood. How do we like the oldies from today’s perspective, how good is the background material and which games do we miss on offer? Before we dive into the golden Atari age, at the beginning of the episode we devote ourselves to fresh news, current game reports and probing listener questions.
