Activision Hits Remixed is a compilation of classic games developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Activision, released in 2006 exclusively for the PlayStation Portable. The collection features over 40 titles originally released for the Atari 2600, bringing retro gaming experiences to handheld format with added extras.
The included games span Activision’s early catalog, such as Pitfall!, River Raid, Kaboom!, Stampede, and Barnstorming. Each title is presented in its original form, with optional enhancements like save states and display filters to emulate CRT visuals. The collection also includes unlockable artwork, game manuals, and a retro-style 1980s soundtrack.
The PSP version allows players to access all titles through a single interface and includes a rewind feature to aid in challenging segments. Multiplayer options are supported via ad hoc wireless play in select games.
Critically, Activision Hits Remixed was well received for its faithful emulation, value for money, and nostalgic appeal. It was praised for preserving a key part of video game history while adapting it to a modern portable platform.
