Compilation games were of varying quality on the Saturn, but Digital Eclipse’s Arcade’s Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1 is one of the best.
Six classics: Missile Command, Tempest, Breakout, Asteroids, Battlezone, and Centipede are faithfully recreated in all their glory. The game also includes a well-produced documentary about each title, including interviews with the original programmers.
Crucially, a save file will keep track of your high scores, which is what these games were all about. Very nice.
A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming ‘firsts’ were commonplace. There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
