Product Information
Full details
Atari Arcade Hits is designed for retro gaming enthusiasts and PC users who want to experience the golden age of arcade history on modern hardware. It offers a nostalgic journey through iconic titles like Asteroids and Pong, providing an authentic arcade experience right on your desktop.

FAQs
Does this collection work on Windows 11?

Can I use a modern game controller?

Are these games exactly like the originals?
Yes, these versions are designed to be faithful emulations of the original arcade code.
Do I need an internet connection to play?
Once the software is installed on your PC, you do not need an active internet connection to play the games.
Can I play in full-screen mode?

Troubleshooting
Game fails to launch on Windows 10 or 11
Right-click the game executable, go to Properties, and set the Compatibility Mode to 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'.
Screen appears stretched or blurry
Access your graphics card control panel settings and change the scaling to 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' instead of 'Stretch'.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get started, insert the media or run the installer executable and follow the on-screen prompts to establish the installation directory. The software is compatible with most standard Windows PC environments. For care and maintenance, keep the installation files stored on a reliable drive and ensure you have DirectX updated to the latest version supported by your OS to avoid graphical glitches. If using physical media, handle the disc by the edges and store it in a cool, dry place to prevent data rot or surface scratches that could impede read performance.
