For $20, you get Atari 50, which I have to say is by far the best collection of retro games I’ve ever played, especially when it comes to the extras—behind-the-scenes content, curiosities, production details, etc. They really do a great job showcasing information about the games and Atari’s history. The included games are also quite nice because they didn’t take the lazy route of simply packaging Atari 2600 titles; you also get Arcade and Jaguar games in the mix. Plus, there’s a small bonus of a couple of new versions of old classics. These are fairly simple games but a nice addition. All of this alone, in my opinion, is already worth the $20—not the cheapest the collection has ever been, but not far from it.
As for the Recharged series, they’re less interesting but still decent fun if you enjoy more arcade-style games. They expand on the originals with new mechanics, levels, and visuals, but nothing really amazing, they are still those classic simple games at the end of the day.
