Defunct Games reviews Atari Flashback Classics, available now on Switch.

Even if you have nostalgia for the 150 arcade and console games found in this collection, Atari Flashback Classics is bound to disappoint. It's a barebones package that lacks a lot of the games that made the Atari 2600 so dominant in the early 1980s. It also lacks any historical information to help put these titles into context. And to make matters worse, it's hard to play many of the arcade games due to frustrating control problems. I love seeing collections like this, but Atari Flashback Classics is only for die-hard fans.
