It seems every system ever made ultimately gets its own collection of Atari titles. Heck, even the N-Gage received a couple, and now the PSP is about to join the club with
Atari Classics Evolved. To appeal to the younger crowd, many of the Atari games have received a makeover with new graphics, music and wireless multiplayer, while each of those games also have their original versions to suit the classic gamer's tastes.
"We're hoping that will attract younger players to the games so that they can experience the real draw to
Atari Classics, the oldschool, challenging gameplay," Producer Matt Rush told
PSPworld. "We don't think that the older gamers will need much convincing to play these games again. Fans of Atari's classic games will always hold a special place in their hearts for these games, and the portability of the PSP means that classic game fans will be able to enjoy these gems wherever they want to play them including the Evolved versions which are new for everyone."
Rush said the game could become a series depending on how well it sells, and with only a $20 price tag,
Atari Classics could be a fun break from the more complicated games of today.
