Play Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1 (Europe) Online

Remember those dimly lit arcades with the hum of CRT screens and the clatter of joysticks? Arcade's Greatest Hits throws you right back there with a handful of Atari's meanest classics. Asteroids still feels hypnotic—just you, a tiny triangle, and a field of floating rocks that somehow become terrifying when they start breaking apart. Missile Command? Yeah, it'll stress you out in the best way, tapping that fire button like a maniac while cities burn.

Centipede's the real surprise though. What looks like a simple bug shooter turns into this weirdly strategic dance—dodging mushrooms, angling shots, and praying the spider doesn't sneak up on you. The SNES controls take a minute to adjust if you're used to the original trackball chaos, but it clicks fast.

No tutorials, no hand-holding—just raw "insert coin" energy. You'll either love how brutally simple these games are or walk away muttering about how we ever thought this was hard. (Spoiler: It still is.)
