Atari Mania is not going to have an issue finding its own audience. There are gamers out there who are historians and will get a kick out of it.

Atari Mania celebrates 50 years of Atari by reimagining several of its classics as microgames. What should be a delightful trip down memory lane is let down by technical issues and repetitive gameplay. It offers moments of fun, but you have to wade through lots of filler to get to the good stuff.
Atari Mania is a mess that fails to recall the tight gameplay or pixilated wonder of Atari's past despite its inspired premise.
