So while Nintendo are busying making mini consoles and third parties are keeping the Mega Drive alive, Atari is also making … something. Let’s assume it’s not a AAA console for a second, but something that leverages Atari’s rich history.
What games would you want to play?
The obvious ones that stick out to me are Defender, Tempest and Pong, although there’s a huge range of third party games that would be worth reinvestigating as well. Something that I’ve never forgotten was the crampfest that was Decathlon, although I had more experience with the Commodore 64 version.
Epyx’s various Olympic games – California Games, Winter Games and so on – would be cool, and Skate or Die on the Atari ST was a banger. I don’t know if Disney would ever allow it, but seeing Star Wars: The Arcade Game or Return of the Jedi Death Star Battle on a mini Atari/retro Atari box would be neat.
What Atari games would you want brought back to life?
