85 Atari Games for Twenty Bucks

Filed under: — dan @ 12:43 am

You just can’t play Pong without the paddles! So it’s nice to see that they will include a set of nostalgia controllers, I just wonder if the controller will be a one button joystick wonder or if they will include offer up some paddles. Retrogaming is all the rage, but imagine this generation’s gamers playing the pixellated Pong and Pac-Man. They’ll be bored of it within 1 minute, guaranteed!

“Atari Anthology” will feature 85 games and is scheduled to go on sale in November at a cost of about $20.

But it’s only one of the nostalgia projects Atari will push into the market then. The second is Atari Flashback, a slightly miniaturized version of the old Atari 7800 from the mid-’80s. It will have 20 games built into it, including “Breakout,” “Solaris,” “Crystal Castles” and “Battlezone.” Flashback will sell for $45 and include a pair of old-school joysticks.
