ATARI is asking nearly $1,000 for its new collection of 39 physical ACTIVISION cartridge re-releases — and plenty of people are calling that price outrageous. But is it really? Rather than argue about whether $1,000 simply feels like too much, I decided to run the numbers. In this video, I compare Atari’s new collection with what these same games cost when they were originally released, what those prices represent in today’s dollars, and what it would cost now to assemble the same 39-game collection using original cartridges, boxes, and manuals. The results put that $999.96 price tag into a very different perspective. What do you think? Is Atari charging too much, or does the price make more sense once you see the comparison?

Before Coyote vs. Acme finally hit theaters (against all odds), Road Runner had its own delayed debut on the Atari 2600. Started by Bob Polaro in 1984 and eventually released in 1989, this Looney Tunes chase got a second chance—but was it worth rescuing? This week on Friday Plays, I dodge desert hazards, turn Wile E. Coyote’s traps against him, and discover why this cartoon chase leaves me with mixed feelings. What do YOU think of Road Runner on the Atari 2600?
