It's not really advertised as a feature, but the 5200 version of Star Raiders is enhanced in this collection with an external HUD in the bezel that shows system status and the controls are mapped nicely to the controller.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can also see the progression and development of what is missing from a lot of modern games – playability and novelty.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each film is expertly crafted, combining archival footage, interviews with key figures, and a rich narrative that captures the essence of the Atari story.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Aside from all the playable games made by the company since their debut and the video interviews, there's also small remasters/remakes of classics, like Haunted House getting a 3D voxel take on the classic game or Yar's Revenge getting a pleasant makeover with more modern special effects on top of the blocky graphics.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It also really holds its own as a local multiplayer game, with so many great 2-4 player games in the package.
