Atari is considering rebooting classic franchises Tempest, Warlords, Adventure, Missile Command "and many more", the publisher has revealed.
This looks like something both fans and collectors can enjoy. Arcade1Up’s Atari Legacy Edition game machines, including Centipede and Tempest, are now available on Atari.com.
This is a great looking pair of classics mini cases. New Wave’s 1/6-scale* Missile Command x RepliCade* mini arcade cabinets are now available for purchase on NewWaveToys.com.
PP: Are you looking for more pirate adventures? Since Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed Rogue, we’ve not really had that many swashbuckling adventures on PS4, but today marks a new release with HeroCraft’s successful open-world action RPG, Tempest, which is out today on PS4.
Atari are not the same company that released those original classics. This seems like it's going to be a cash-in on their IP.
They would have been far smarter by partnering with Jeff Minter on a new Tempest instead of taking him to court.
Their new Asteroids game has nothing to do with the original. Even if the game is good, it has nothing in common with the game play of the original.
