Ratings and Reviews

Rating: 4.5/5 based on 7+ reviews

4 ★ Sleek and refined, but light on options for the virtual controls. An option to use a slider for paddle controls or a simple bar you can drag your finger on for the driving controller (like the paddle controller but spins infinitely) would be great. I would bump it up to five stars for those things alone.

3 ★ Overall an extremely well written application. Looks nice and is simple to get running. Has many settings. That beimg said I which I had looked at the date it was last updated. Few bugs that need worked on. Has the app neen abandoned?

5 ★ I had an ATARI2600 in 1984, I was 4 years old playing these games, I loved them. I'm playing on a Hauwei P20 and it's a solid emulation. Good response time and latency, Great work, guys!

5 ★ Excellent emu. The only bug is that you cant cast to a Roku tv . There is sound but no picture. ? 2600xl emu has no problem with this.

5 ★ The only Good Atari VCS emulator on play store and only legal means to get it is buying it im enjoying it and able to play rare Atari VCS games without searching for cartridges and i can also play Chetiry(Best Atari Tetris HomeBrew) on the go. And i can play My Favourite Atari Game The Smurfs on my chromebook to just have more fun on my Chromebook

1 ★ Does not work. Tried with multiple ROMs which work fine in other emulators and if I'm lucky I get buzzing and vertical lines of random colors. Need a refund.

5 ★ I like this Atari 2600 emulator. I use to have one of this back then. It was my first Arcade emulator before i had other Arcades emulator. It's good to have it again. it's bring back memories.

5 ★ It's light on the bells and whistles, but it's functional and has full controller support.

5 ★ Works great on my phone, ... can't wait to try it on my tv box.

3 ★ Works great, but I can't figure out how to use the virtual paddle for certain games.

1 ★ Does not work on my Samsung Galaxy tablet, cannot even select the game. I want my money back asap.

5 ★ Back to working on my chromebook... like an old friend coming to visit. Very pleased to have this app functional again.

4 ★ So far so good. Got a roms pack with 2500+ games. Looking forward to bringing back childhood memories.

5 ★ Love this app. Totally worth the $3

2 ★ Stays just black after launching the app. The developer responded to my support request after 5 days.
