the-minusworld.com — Before the over the top, logo heavy madness of today?s next-gen masterpieces became the visual norm for video game cover art, there was the basic beauty of the Atari 2600?s approach to package design. But what if the biggest games of now fell into the hands of a 2600-era artist? We?d have Atari Modern Classics, a vintage look at our fresh favorites

When playing Adventure I used to think of myself as a Conan-type character. Too bad I was a f**king square on the screen.

True, those colors and sprites on the A2600 would be impossible. Though, they probably would be possible on the Atari 7800, but nobody bought that.

I'm with you pentomino. This is a great and creative concept, but the graphics depicted are indeed far better than what the old 2600 can do, with its 192X160 resolution and its 4 color (out of a palette of 16 colors) display. Actually, some of the screenshots look more like they could have been from the C64 or early NES.
