I love how this app works flawlessly with my keyboard and best of all it comes with all the classic games! 5 stars!

this is a very good emulator. I always have been looking for a emulator. and here it is!. do you guys agree with me?

I had a hard time installing the CD-rom version on Windows 8, and then this app came along. It had almost everything that the CD-Rom had, and more. WOW! Thank you, Windows Store, and the person who created this app. You are a lifesaver! Mike Murphy, is it? If I would meet you, I would shake your hand, dude! Tell me, are you adding any more games like Kaboom, Hero, and Air Sea Battle?

This is a great emulator, but I can't seem to use ROMs of homebrew games or remove ROMs from the list. Fix these, and I'll give 5 stars!!!

The controls are a bit confusing, but overall its well done.. thanks!

The emulator comes with alot of built in games and you can add your own need an Atari emulator this is for you although they should have a personal library for the games you uploaded to the emulator

The app stoped having the problems also I love a lot of the old games I never thought I would

is there a way to get the xbox controller to work for the 7800 games?
16 November 2013
Nothing like classic Atari to go. The touch screen controls are a bit small and hard to use but plug in a controller and your good to go. No game console has aged as well as an Atari
11 November 2013
I dint have to download games from the internet to run it 5stars Many games Perfect

Does anyone know how to add roms to this like pitfall?

Great emulator! good times! Works very well with xbox controller
9 July 2013
Yes, it's "just" Atari, but wow is this an awesome emulator! It's got everything you'd want, including a full importer.

Like the old systems, this emulation app is not easy to use, but it does support Xbox controllers. It's actually pretty awesome, just wish it had made the game play a little easier after all these years, now that I'm so old...

This emulator works great on my old Dell laptop running Windows 8. I have clocked way too much time playing Demon Attack, one of the shining stars from the Atari 2600 age!
17 February 2013
Fantastic emulator. Works great on my surface and I love the touch controllers. Great job!
7 February 2013
Very nice and good at emulation, just surprised that Microsoft hasn't removed this app due to piracy, but still very good for those of you who want a trip down memory lane.
I haven't tried getting more roms on here, but I think it will work for anyone who wants to try
6 February 2013
I loved the Atari 2600 and now I can play all my childhood games again on the Surface RT!! Tip: The xbox controller works great!
5 February 2013
One of my favorite apps!
3 February 2013
This app bring back a lot of fond childhood memories. In todays world of high res gamming graphics it nice to remember where it all began for me. If you don't have a touch screen a joystick is useful.

Works best with a usb controller.

Based on the other reviews, I am getting quite jealous. After the couple updates, I could never get this app to load on my Windows 8 machine OR my Surface RT. It tries to load, then crashes. No menus or anything. Maybe it's a bug with settings my live account carries over after I first purchased? Nothing I do works. Please fix!

I have Ataris greatest hits and Activisions 2600 games on Ipad which set me back about $20.00. Having an Atari 5200 when I was kid I was wondering when Apple would release app that would meet my retro needs. This emulator is all I could ask for. All the 7800 games plus 2600 games Superman, ET, and Raiders of the lost Ark which were not included on my iPad version and its FREE!!!!!I'm using an X-box joystick on a laptop and although I haven't tried all the games it seems to work on most.
3 January 2013
This app has doesn't tell you how to play the games, so it is useless.
29 December 2012
We loce emulators, plase make more like this!
21 December 2012
Touch controls don't recognize diagonal directions (for example, up+left, which is necessary for playing Choplifter). This is on a fully-updated Surface RT.
21 December 2012
Plenty of games. Controls take a little getting used to but still great
20 December 2012
Great games (and a vast selection at that) and tablet touch buttons (activated in settings) are nice, but the controls are not specified for the keyboard. It takes a few minutes of trial and error to get situated with the controls. On that note, it utilizes the numberpad (as directional arrows) not realizing that smaller laptops have done away with these keys.... I would love to seen an update explaining or maybe even configuring the controls. Overall worth getting in my opinion though! :)
