I know it's just sour grapes, but it still annoys me that I paid ten bucks (might have even been $15 at the time?) for this and now they're giving it away.
Quality is highly variable. Some games are downright playable, others not so much. They've done quite a bit to improve it since the initial release, though.

The only free one is Missile Command, the others are $0.99 each, so about $99 if you want the full set of 100 games. If you got them all for $15, there's no sour grapes there, you scored!

Really? I downloaded it on my iPad after reading the original post, and I got a message on screen that said something like "to celebrate 40 years of Atari, the app and games included will remain free until the app is uninstalled". If you tap on "more games" then you're redirected to the AppStore to pay for more game bundles.
The included games are:
Asteroids
Asteroids Deluxe
Battlezone
Black Widow
Centipede
Crystal Castles
Gravitar
Liberator
Lunar Lander
Major Havoc
Millipede
Missile Command
Pong
Red Baron
Space Duel
Super Breakout
Tempest
Warlords

Well crap. Mine is charging me $0.99... and i just now tried every game on your list... I'll try to uninstall and reinstal, maybe that will get mine in the free category... update to follow.
Edit: Yes, if you already have this app, you need to update it to the newest version. Boom. All those games are free.

So, 100 games is 5-6 variants each of 18 games. They should have thrown in Space Invaders and made it 200.
Well, I've no iPple, so no matter.
