Something is wrong with the purchase part of this app. My buddy sitting here was able to download and buy entire collection with no problem on the iPad, but for some reason it does not work with android?

D70%
by D####:

The only free game is kaboom, and the controls for it are terrible, and all of the box art for every game is wrong. Activision isn't truly Activision, it's just the same name that someone legally owns after many companies before them. I can name my dog Barack Obama but that doesn't make him the president of the United States.

H70%
by H####:

Only gives one free game. That's fine. But it won't let you buy any other games. Like Pitfall. Just waste of time installing it. Uninstalling right know!!!

Z70%
by Z####:

What good is this app if you can't buy any of the games? Ridiculous that activision has not fixed the ordering system in all this time! You try to give someone money and they don't want to take it. Sheesh activision. What's up with that??!!

O70%
by O####:

Works well. Bought the full package, not sure if it was really worth the money or if I got caught out with an impulse buy. A lot of games though. All work well and the controls are responsive and as good as a touchscreen can be. Well done app, bit overpriced.

Z70%
by Z####:

You guys have a problem. I downloaded this along with Atari Greatest Hits which I had no problem buying for $9.99. However, your game will only play Kaboom! And when I try to buy the whole pack, it just exits back to the main menu! Please, give this 48 year old man some of his childhood with my Atari 2600 (now a 10 inch tablet) back! I love these games and cherish many great hours with them! Please fix this app and I will buy the package! Thank you and please let me know you got this and your response for a solution! Signed, a lover of 80's nostalgia!

U70%
by U####:

In app purchases doesn't work, so none of the games are playable other than Kaboom. Would love to give you money, but I guess I'll have to find another way to play these games. The touch controls for Kaboom are well implemented though, so I'm even more disappointed not to be able to play my other favourites such as Hockey, Hero and Pitfall.

Z70%
by Z####:

I'm giving it 1 star because 1) every time I try to look at the manual, the game crashes. 2) because there is ONLY one game to play and when I tried to check how much the other games were, nothing happened. So for those two unfortunate reasons, I'm uninstalling. Was REALLY looking forward to playing Pitfall and Pitfall 2 again too!

D70%
by D####:

If you want a better rating, fix your purchasing bug! Can't buy any of the games. It takes you back to the previous screen when attempting to buy a game. I'm gonna have to hook up my Atari 2600 and play the old games for the time being but it would be nice to be able to play it portable.

W70%
by W####:

Can we buy games indevidually . I So want to buy pitfall but only problem is I have to buy 10 more games like that. I'll buy the whole pack when I have more money but Still. Make it a buck a game like atari did. I bought the entire atari games for 10 bucks which was worth it. But still make this game Better by charging PER GAME.

Z70%
by Z####:

really 1 game if thats all your gonna give you should atleast make me pay before i download it , or make it free oh right its not like you guys are a billion dollar company that cant make just 1 app completely free

G70%
by G####:

I would give 5 stars if I could play the games I want. I tried to buy the games and it won't allow it. So disappointed. I haven't played pitfall or river raid in so long....Guess I have to keep waiting with my money in hand ready to relinquish it to the app that provides the opportunity... Seriously have money want to play! Fix this please

B70%
by B####:

Amazing that so many reviewers have commented that the in app purchasing does NOT work, yet there is not even one response from anyone at Activision. Why bother to put a broken app on the market, especially when most have commented that we would be happy to pay for it? Silly Activision people; you discredit yourselves.

Z70%
by Z####:

Looks like it could be great, however I am seeing frequent crashes (unfortunately, Anthology has stopped). I am unable to purchase game packs; I get kicked back to the main game selection screen with no ability to purchase. Nexus 6p.

I70%
by I####:

I am not old enough to remember when these first came out, but these are some of the best video games. These games are totally worth the money. Unfortunately, the app crashes when trying to view the game manuals on my Galaxy J3 on Lollipop, which is sad because the instruction manuals really help a lot here.

Z70%
by Z####:

Activision will not reimburse your money for any app purchess that f+#kup. And belive me it will just after you have spent good money on upgrades. they still owe me money from call of duty heroes. I have emailed over and over but they ignore them all. They do not care once they have got your money you mean s#it to them youre just another cash cow to them. Do yourself a huge favour and download any other game. Except from activision. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. ACTIVISION CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS TO HELL.

Z70%
by Z####:

What is the point of buying this game? I wont even try opening it. I get this for free on my copy of call of duty black ops II with a nuketown easter egg. There is NO point in downloading this or buying anything in it. Be smart and stay away.

Z70%
by Z####:

Would be an easy 4 * game and maybe a 5 * candidate... if I could buy more games, this review would be completely different. Are there any plans to fix the issue with not being able to buy more games?

Z70%
by Z####:

Activision made the best games of the Atari 2600 era, and many of them are still a blast today. It's a shame that the app will not actually let you buy any of them. Considering I can easily download an Atari 2600 emulator without hassle, I figured the developers would be more worried about keeping this thing working.

Z70%
by Z####:

The buckets even have that little shake to them like I remember when I was just a boy! It really brings me back to a time when my only worry was that mum might make me do my homework before I could go out and play.

T70%
by T####:

I got this because I actually have this on my PlaystationOne. This app is horrible though because out of like 40 gamez 1 is free. Just sad. Dont waste your time.

U70%
by U####:

Missing obvious control improvements... For finger control you should have an option to alter the display so you won't, say, be covering up the barrels in kaboom or the ship in demon attack. Speaking of demon attack and other two direction games there should be an option to move left or right by touching the left or right side of the screen, especially if rapid fire is on...

U70%
by U####:

It comes with one game and you have to buy all the rest. Really like Pit Fall, but I'm not gonna buy it. (Nexus 4)

V70%
by V####:

Unable to purchase all the games, clicking "buy the complete collection" does nothing. :( Will update review to 5 stars once fixed, the unearthed game in the complete set looks interesting!

X70%
by X####:

Working well. $2.99 for 11 games or $6.99 for all 45. Very fair pricing. All the games are exactly like on Atri 2600. Controls are fine, considering the original Atari controllers had their own issues, it's exactly like old times. Been (correction) 30 years simce I played some of these, yet I was able to pick up playing my favorites like it was yesterday.

Z70%
by Z####:

It's weird, you would think a company would want to help you give them money, but Activision doesn't. I even emailed their support and just get a message back to look at FAQS on their website, which has nothing there. I even factory reset my phone and same thing, select purchase and it goes back to the main screen. The one game I can play is great. Wish I could buy the rest.

Z70%
by Z####:

Sorry, but I'm not remotely interested in buying an entire collection of games when I'm only interested in one or two titles. Terrible marketing strategy here. Uninstalling.

Z70%
by Z####:

So many little things wrong with this (sound issues with Meglomania, for example) ... How about controller support? Take a pass on this one for now.

C70%
by C####:

Try to buy the full game, but an attempt to purchase just takes you back to the main screen. Attempts at contacting support just lead to an automated response to review the self help site.

C70%
by C####:

Can't buy any of the other game. Just want to give you my money guys. No big deal or anything...

Y70%
by Y####:

One game is free. The rest taunt you with purchasing that cannot happen. Why advertise what is not for sale. I have their Atari collection. I would like to buy the Activision set as well. If this is fixed, I'm sure I can rate it higher. Update - 5 months later, still no change. I suppose they have abandoned the app.

X70%
by X####:

Activision Activision you guys are making yourself look bad do you want people to play your games you need to fix the problem and let people buy your games I love what I see but there's only one game to play the Google store should do something about this fix the problem Activision

N70%
by N####:

You get 1 game and rest are locked behind a paywall, don't waste your time or data

X70%
by X####:

When are you going to fix the glitch in your program that won't allow us to purchase the whole set of games in the Anthology? You'd think the creators would want to sell their product, but attempts to purchase just take you back to the previous screen. I have written to the creator's email address twice, the first time I got a non-helpful general response to troubleshooting & the 2nd time, no response at all. Customer service & product, so far, suck!

C70%
by C####:

I love the free Ka-boom. Works great and brings back the good old days of home console video games. I hate the fact that I am unable to purchase any of the other games to relive my childhood. Fix the purchasing option and I am sure my review goes up to 5 stars. What? You don't want my money?

G70%
by G####:

But I can't really make a purchase to buy all the games it doesn't make a payment window ashame I can't buy it all :(

C70%
by C####:

I wanted to love this just like i love the atari app but unfortunately I am unable to purchase additional games. Hopefully this will get fixed.

C70%
by C####:

I COULD PURCHASE THE GAME!! But it doesn't let you purchase anything..like kaboom but there's only such of that one can play

C70%
by C####:

No matter how many times I try to purchase the games, nothing happens. I just keep getting sent back to the main screen. Doesn't make any sense, since it looks like I'm not the only one having this problem, from reading the reviews.

C70%
by C####:

The game does not function properly. None of the games can be unlocked. This makes Kaboom! the only playable title in the collection. Very disappointing.
