Works on steam deck via heroic

Been hoping to get this on GOG along with the DLC. I am very pleased with what it is. I can understand everyone's frustration regarding the support and that's precisely why I waited until the DLCs dropped to purchase. I saw in the forums that people were having issues with the game not running after install. I installed on my steam deck with heroic and it works perfectly. I'm pretty sure it defaulted to proton GE 9.something or other. (I'm putting this here rather than the forum so people actually see it. I know I would find it useful) As for the game / documentary itself it's pretty awesome. Don't let it fool you into thinking that these Atari games are better than you remember... They're not lol, however the layout and the documentary material along with the all the other documentation is fantastic. Some of the games are genuinely good too. I don't think I get played black widow as a kid but it's a really fun rudimentary twin stick shooter. I sincerely love what digital eclipse has been doing and I am hoping to acquire all of these documentary style games.

Pricey history

I own the collection on the original PlayStation, plus Tempest 2000, my favorite, on PC, still playable. Yes, there's a lot of "extras", but the entire collection from the other platforms can be easily found with emulators all over the internet, along with Intellivision and other platforms. If you're a collector or a history buff, I suppose it's worth it, BUT, most of these pictures and videos are also available freely on other websites. You HAVE to review this as a game/game collection, and knowing what I have and have paid for on disc, it IS a bit pricey for what it is. A better price would be in the $15-25 range. After all, like has been said, some of these are the same game just a different platform, and really only a handful of the classics have stood the test of time. Factor in the many preloaded "consoles" with many of the same games that simply plug into your TV, for the same price or less, it's just not worth the current cost. Game wise, definitely five stars, price wise however, the value doesn't equal the cost. Two stars for being "close".
