I couldn't be more thrilled. The product was new as it should be, loaded without trouble, and now, I am showing my kids the games I used to play when I was their age. I am completely and totally happy with my game. It was received 5 days after I ordered. We love it.
I was surprised how realistic the game played on the computer. This is an outstanding bang for your buck. I bought this for a friend who wanted to play Centipede again. Even her kids who play far more sophisticated games enjoy Centipede and a couple of the others.
I was over joyed to find this product.BUT when I got it first I could not get it to load.THEN lo and behold my computer crashed.to me a worthless product.
Well. I would have explored that further, to see what the threat actually was, but my whole system (I'm operating Vista) was acting unstable, a highly atypical state for my computer. I couldn't get to the Defender warning pop-up to click for more information. Immediately, Windows Defender popped up with a "medium threat" warning.
What a shame. I could finally exit the Atari window after that.I'm disappointed, both because I was looking forward to playing the games and because I had thought better of Atari. I finally solved the problem by yanking the cord on my external dvd drive and disconnecting the game. I thought maybe he was mistaken, because I didn't think Atari would have so little self-respect as to do something like that. At the price of the game, it was a minor risk--I thought. I chose the option to run the game from the disc for the first time. I couldn't get alt tab to work and I couldn't get the game to close.
I'd like to think this was just a computer glitch and Windows Defender made a mistake, but by the behavior of the game itself, I'm thinking it was no mistake. I saw another review that mentioned there was spyware in this game. I didn't even install the game. Task Manager wouldn't come up, either.
between the price of the game and the shipping and handling i paid almost 20 dollars and when i got it in the mail and loaded it chips challenge was not even there. i will go to e-bay or somewhere else, this review is not even worth one star but i have to put at least one to get the review posted. i ordered the atari 80 classic games because it was advertised to have the game caled chips challenge on it. as far as i am concerned i will not use amazon again.
