  1. Atari 50 is levelling up with the "Namco Legendary Pack" DLC! Get ready to relive arcade glory with Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug & more, hitting shelves (digital ones, anyway) Nov 13 for $8. They even included the "iconic" Atari 2600 Pac-Man. Ouch. Which retro arcade classic holds up best for you?

  3. @mookie Got it but haven't played it yet. I played through #MakingofKarateka & I only just realized there's a TON of DLC for #Atari50.

    This was the 1st Digital Eclipse release of these #GenX documentaries on classic video games. Lots of Jordan Mechner videos... really cool background on #Karateka.

  28. The first game with a Trak-Ball controller? @atari Football, which cleverly adopts the X and O characters of coaching diagrams into gameplay graphics. Grab a friend and try it in #Atari50's first DLC pack, out now. bit.ly/Atari50AC

  29. I've never got a handle on #Tempest2000's controls before, so I'd give up after only a few seconds. Browsing #Atari50 before bed last night, they finally clicked, and I was hooked for hours.

    Went from struggling to get on the scoreboard at all to 50 points shy of the Top 5.

    Thank you, @llamasoft_ox and @DigitalEclipse!
