Contents
Games included
- Asteroids
- Battlezone

- Missile Command
- Super Breakout
- Tempest
The game has analog controls in Centipede, Missile Command, and Super Breakout when played with a Mission Stick. This analog mode will not work on the 3D Control Pad.
History
Even though this compilation was produced by Midway, who owned Atari Games at this point, the games were licensed from Atari Corporation which retained ownership of Atari, Inc.'s games after it had split into two companies in 1984. This was one of the few times the two Ataris associated with each other.
