Nokia release several Atari classic games on N-Gage
Busy week for Nokia, it seems. they've just announced the release of Atari Masterpieces Volume 1 for the N-Gage platform. This bumper pack includes not just one but eight classic games such as Asteroids, Battlezone, Black Widow, Millipede, Missile Command, Red Baron, Lunar Lander and Super Breakout. The games come with original graphics and game play, just like they do on MAME or those handheld Atari joysticks that plug-into your TV. Difference is, of course, that gamers can now "revisit these old favourites while they are on the move!" - and be charged for them again!
Nokia continue: "For those who get their biggest thrill from showing off, gamers can upload their high scores on the N-Gage Arena, and compete worldwide for the title of retro gaming guru. As an added bonus gamers will also have the opportunity to unlock additional Atari 2600 titles - 2600 Adventure, 2600 Surround, 2600 Video Chess and 2600 Yar's Revenge."
The good thing about these games is that the gameplay was always great (it clearly wasn't the graphics!), and they should translate well on the N-Gage platform, being well suited to simple pick up n' play. So those of you with an N-Gage (yes, both of you!), give 'em a whirl!
