[S]ure enough, there is no Activision Classics 2. Out of the dozens of Activision, Imagic, and Absolute titles they could put in there, they cheaped out and only put 30 on, and that's all you'll probably ever play on the Playstation.

After the completion of B-17 Bomber, programmer John Sohl left Mattel Electronics to work for Activision. He began this game for Intellivision, but soon into development he was asked to do it instead for the Commodore 64 computer, a machine Activision was eager to support. John didn't finish the game for either platform before leaving Activision.
