Infogrames Releases Atari Anniversary Edition

Infogrames celebrates 30 years of Atari® classic arcade fun with the release of Atari Anniversary Edition for Windows® 95/98/ME computers and Sega® DreamcastTM video game consoles. This special one-disc, 12-game compilation is being released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Atari's founding in 1972 as the first company ever established solely for the purpose of creating and marketing video games. The multi-billion-dollar interactive entertainment industry that has developed since Atari's founding owes much to the vision of Atari and the groundbreaking titles that are found on Atari Anniversary Edition.

This monster compilation of 12 of the best-known games from Atari's arcade stable of the '70s and early '80s includes Asteroids®, Asteroids® DeluxeTM, BattlezoneTM, Centipede®, Crystal Castles®, Gravitar®, Millipede®, Missile Command®, Pong®, Super Breakout®, TempestTM, and Warlords®. All come authentically recreated in emulated form just like you remember them from the arcades.

In addition to the 12 classic arcade games that helped launch an industry, Atari Anniversary Edition also includes a multimedia supplement of video interviews with original game designers, images of noteworthy memorabilia, original press releases, and more. The PC version has a bonus collection of desktop themes (mouse pointers, system icons, font, screen saver, wallpaper) for each game. Both versions include a collectable Atari logo sticker to show your Atari pride.

Developed by Digital Eclipse, Atari Anniversary Edition is available at most major retail outlets for $14.99usd and is rated "E" for everyone.
