Arcade's Greatest Hits - The Atari Collection 1 for Super NES was released in August 1997 in North America.
A Symbolic Finale:
This title holds a significant place in gaming history as Midway’s final release for any 16-bit console. Coming out in late 1997, it represents the very end of the SNES commercial lifecycle.
The "Volume 1" Mystery:
While the title implies a series, this was the only "Atari Collection" released for the SNES. Subsequent "Volume 2" collections (featuring games like Marble Madness and Paperboy) were released on other platforms like the PlayStation, but they never made the jump to the SNES.
