''Activision Anthology'' is a compilation of most of the Atari 2600 games by Activision for various game systems. It also includes games originally released by Absolute Entertainment and Imagic, as well as homebrew games. The Windows and Mac OS X versions are titled ''Activision Anthology Remix'', and include the most games. The PlayStation Portable version is titled ''Activision Hits Remixed''. The game features the original gameplay of the Atari 2600 emulated on modern systems. After achieving high scores in some of the games, the player can unlock special modes where the colors are distorted, or the game is projected on a rotating cube as added difficulty. ''Activision Anthology'' features a virtual kid's bedroom as the main menu. The player can select several viewpoints to check highscores, choose a video game cartridge from a rotating stand, change the background music on a virtual tape deck, or change game settings while being zoomed in on a virtual Atari 2600. The virtual tape deck features several licensed 1980s music tracks. The music from the virtual tape deck can be mixed with the Atari 2600 game audio so both are audible to simulate playing the game on TV while having the tape running in the background. Six Activision-produced Atari 2600 titles were not included in ''Activision Anthology'', likely due to outside ownership of their respective licenses. The excluded games are ''Commando'', ''Double Dragon'', ''Ghostbusters'', ''Ghostbusters II'', ''Kung Fu Master'', and ''Rampage'', although Capcom did give Activision rights to put ''Commando'' in the PlayStation 2, Windows, and Mac OS X versions of ''Activision Anthology''. ''Ghostbusters II'' was cancelled before Activision could release it, but Salu released it in Europe under their name in 1992. The Absolute Entertainment title ''Pete Rose Baseball'' was renamed ''Baseball'', presumably due to licensing rights regarding Pete Rose's name, as well. ==Portable versions== The Game Boy Advance version has the most games out of the portable versions, including several homebrew games that do not appear in any of the other versions. It does not include the Imagic games or ''Commando'', nor does it play music during gameplay. It does have four custom 1980s-style songs that play in the menu screens, however. The PlayStation Portable version includes the Imagic games (''Atlantis'', ''Demon Attack'', and ''Moonsweeper''), full-speed emulation, and the 1980s songs featured in the PlayStation 2 and computer versions, but does not include ''Commando'', the Absolute Entertainment games, games exclusive to the other releases, or the homebrew titles. Also, the PSP version had lacked the possibility to save high scores and extras unlocked, so when the player quits out of the game, all his progress will be lost. There was also a version released on mobile phones with three titles. It included ''H.E.R.O.'', ''Pitfall'', and ''River Raid''. ''Activision Anthology'' was released for Android and iOS devices on August 30, 2012. The game ''Kaboom!'' is offered as an initial free game, while the rest of the games were offered as an in-app purchase. These versions include the Imagic game ''Dragonfire'', but do not include the homebrew games, the games by Absolute Entertainment, or ''Commando''. These versions also do not contain any of the licensed 1980s music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Activision Anthology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
