Does anyone know or planning on added these.

They are on all the other platforms so why not the PSP.
Anyone else like to see these systems ?

i think it's becouse those are old systems and newer systems have cooler games :P

RIVER RAID! FOREVER! Q(Ò_Ó)

Cooler games?? Please explain what you mean??
Cooler = Better graphics & little to no replay value??
Retro gaming forever!!

Classics never die!!

Well to be fair the Lynx didn't have many "Classic" games. I ahd one and can't think of one game I would like to play again.

And the 2600? LOL it sucked, and I had one of those too. Seriously, waht was it's best game? Pole position? Pit Fall? Pong!?

I would like to see a decent Atari Jaguar emulator though, that had a few decent games that were overlooked by most people. Alien Vs Predator to name the best.

Pitfall 2 ruled it's day

Now, come on!! The 2600 was a fantastic machine in it's time and there are a lot of people out there who own(ed) one and would love to relive their experiences on their shiny new PSP's. As for the Lynx, it DID have some classic games which I personally would love to play on my PSP (Let's face it, the Lynx is f*****g bulky by comparison!!!!). A.P.B, Chips Challenge, Warbirds and Hard Drivin' to name but a few.

APB was good but I think you can play the arcade version on MAME, Hard Drivin hasn't aged well at all. Never played the other two.

The 2600 was bad, just plain bad. Sure it was great 27 years ago! Thats a quarter of a century!

I never really enjoyed it when I owned one. The ZX spectrum was a million times better for game quality, I know it came out a few years later but that machine got me into games, not the sucky 2600.

But on the plus side a 2600 emulator port would be VERY easy and I'm sure someone will do it eventually.

Seriously now, to say the atari sucked is unfair to the system. I mean, look how many classic games it had, that were remade for later systems. Granted, most those games started in the arcade. You don't see games anymore like Pitfall II, Yars Revenge, Frostbite, Riddle of the Sphinx. I could go on and on. Oh, and who can forget Combat, or air sea battle. CLASSIC! A system had to get the ball rolling for us would be gamers, and the Atari did the greatest job of that.
