THE BAD:
Some of the control schemes really stink
SUMMARY:
Activision Classics is just that - old Atari 2600 games ported for the PS One. A good idea - who doesn't want to play Pitfall again. You might spend a good amount of time playing Pitfall, since that is one of the greatest games of all time. Too bad Pitfall 2 isn't included on this disc as well.
And therein lies the problem. Many of these "classic" games aren't really classics. There may have been a time when I spent hours playing Barnstorming or Stanmpede on my Atari, but usually I played for 10-15 minutes and switched cartridges. That is how you will feel now, and you can't switch as easily as you did with the Atari. There should have been an in-game option to switch games. That would have made the whole compilation that much better.
