Description

It’s about to go down! Well before the current day console wars dominated social media and message boards, Atari's VCS and Intellivision collided in the first major video game rivalry in 1979. The battle only intensified when Intellivision started making games for the VCS, its fiercest rival's machine! In a series of exclusive interviews, the game makers who lived through the first console war explain how and why this unique chapter of video-game history unfolded.

Shame on Digital Eclipse / Atari

Concerning the offline installers: The current version of the base game on gog still is the version 1.04. The DLCs on Gog are in version 1.05_gog and thus CANNOT BE INSTALLED AND PLAYED with the old base game version 1.04. What are you guys doing from Digital Eclipse and Atari, this problem has been around now for WEEKS and you change nothing (apart of taking the money from your customers of course)! Sadly all the other reviews are true.
