Activision Anthology 3

Is it the weekend already? Looks like it is time again for Flashback Friday. Every week, we pick an app that reminds us of days gone by, a time when games were two-dimensional and cameras were film-based. Last week, we told you about the classic ROM Gridlee. Surprisingly, it is still in the App Store. Either Apple has bigger fish to fry right now, or they are turning the other way for this game. There is no way that, by now, Apple hasn’t heard of the MAME emulator.

This week, we are flashing back to a time when Atari 2600 was a household name. Collect 45 of your childhood memories in one location with the most comprehensive Activision Anthology in the App Store
