Get your retro game on: MacSoft releases classic Atari arcade titles
Ready for some serious old-skool action? Macsoft yesterday announced the
release of a trio of Atari Arcade Classics remade for OS X: Breakout, Centipede and Pong. Dude!
The games have been 're-imagined' for a 3D gaming environment, which makes me very curious. I hope the remakes still capture all the charm of those 2D originals. I mean, how can you 'improve' upon Pong, for (insert your favorite deity here)'s sake? Two sticks and a pixel for a ball – now *that* was a game when they knew how to make games. They don't make 'em like they used to, kids.
Although, thanks to MacSoft, you'll at least be able to show your children how you frittered away far too much of your adolescence back in the day. Now I'm just waiting for Pitfall and Gauntlet – MacSoft, are you listening?
