At the heart of Atari 50 are the Interactive Timelines, which combine historical trivia, digital artifacts, over 60 minutes of new interviews, documentary footage, and playable games into one cohesive experience. When you encounter a game in the Timelines, you can immediately play it without losing your place. a b Cifaldi, Frank (2011-07-06). "Bootleg Consoles Attract Lawsuit From Atari". Gamasutra .

When Atari Corp finally disappeared in a reverse merger with a non-videogaming firm in the mid 1990's after the Jaguar and Lynx had failed, the videogaming rights were sold to Hasbro and then finally to Infogrames around the turn of the century (Which rebranded itself as Atari SA, the company releasing Atari 50 next month). Atari 50’s emulation has some but not all of the common, modern improvements seen in many collections: A single save state has been added for each game, controls can be remapped, a pretty good CRT-like filter can be enabled, bezels recreate art and fill out the wide screen. But you cannot rewind these games or watch and manipulate a perfect playthrough like we saw in 2022’s Cowabunga Collection. I’m surprised, since those specific features have become standard in Digital Eclipse collections and I believe they should become universally expected – but I also don’t miss them here as much, due to the largely arcade-y nature of the game list (and that includes games beyond the arcade years, I think there’s an Asteroids and/or a Missile Command on every Atari platform, many included here). 6 Must-Play Games Shive, Chris (2018-09-25).

The Game Room service for instance is a good illustration of a relevant example. a b c Baer, Adam (2004-11-04). "Two Blasts From the Past Revive the Atari Classics". The New York Times .

As before, the customizations are activated by the presence of the "mount_sd.ini" file in the root of your USB drive (yeah, I didn't bother renaming it). By default the custom firmware will dump the internal /rom partition from the device to your attached USB storage and then use the USB copy of /rom for game roms, box art and all-games.ini file.

But I'll be looking forward to hearing the thoughts of other people that get to try it out early. It works the same was as before. The presence of "mount_sd.ini" file in the root of your USB storage device will trigger the dump and remapping of /rom to USB. The /emulator has been modified to use all-games.ini file located in /rom as before. How do I mark a game as a Favorite? Select a game, then press the GAME SELECT switch on the console to toggle a game as a favorite (or not).There's little room at today's current Activision for such a classic compilation on consoles, but with the shakeup with the Microsoft acquisition, just maybe something positive like that will happen.
