Atari and Activision are teaming up for a massive new physical release of classic Atari 2600 games! The newly announced Atari x Activision Collection brings 39 classic Activision titles back on newly manufactured cartridges, including Pitfall!, River Raid, Kaboom!, H.E.R.O., Megamania, Enduro and many more. The games will be available individually, across four Deluxe Collections, or as one massive Ultimate Deluxe Set. But there’s more to this announcement than the headline. Activision released 44 Atari 2600 games in North America, so why are only 39 included? And perhaps more importantly, does this mean Atari has finally acquired the rights to Activision’s classic game catalog? In this video, I break down exactly what Atari announced, what’s missing, what this new collaboration DOES mean, and what it very specifically does NOT appear to mean for the future of these legendary Activision games.

No joystick. No TV. Just a stealth bomber you hold against your face. Released in 1998, Radica’s Stealth Assault puts an air combat game inside a handheld shaped like the aircraft itself. Look into the cockpit, tilt the whole thing to steer, and use its buttons to take on enemy targets. I’m taking this unusual piece of ’90s gaming hardware for a test flight, exploring how it works and seeing what it’s like to play. Can a little screen and tilt controls deliver big cockpit thrills?
