Retro Atari Classics is a 2005 Nintendo DS compilation developed by Atari, Inc. that brings together a selection of the company's iconic arcade titles alongside modernized versions of those same games. The collection spans familiar Atari properties, giving players access to both the original releases and updated takes that take advantage of the DS hardware. As a handheld arcade anthology, it serves as a portable archive of Atari's catalog, allowing players to experience classic games in their original form or engage with reworked editions that offer a fresh presentation of familiar gameplay. The dual-format approach — pairing legacy versions with updated ones — distinguishes the collection from a straightforward port compilation and reflects an attempt to make the material accessible to both longtime fans and newer audiences encountering these titles for the first time.
