A new universal iOS app from Atari is making the standard App Store rounds today, starting in New Zealand and propagating worldwide throughout the day. The
Atari's Greatest Hits app is a free download that provides paid access to 100 games from Atari's arcade and 2600 library, including classics like
Yars Revenge, Haunted House and
Asteroids, weird games like
Circus Atari, and even rarities like
Quadrun.
The app comes bundled with
Pong, with additional titles available in four-game packs for $1 each, or $15 for the whole collection. Some of the games, including the whole
RealSports series,
Warlords and
Breakout, have been updated with Bluetooth multiplayer.
This is the latest in a recent Atari effort to repackage its classics once again.
Atari's Greatest Hits: Volume 1 was released as a retail cartridge on DS in November 2010.
