NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- New York gamemaker Atari Inc. says it is developing PSP versions of classic Atari games like Asteroids, Centipede, Missile Command, Super Breakout and Pong.
Developed by Stainless Games Ltd., the Atari Classics Evolved series is scheduled for a fall release.
These titles, presented in both an original and an evolved version, maintain the original game-play, while adding "beautifully rendered, up-to-date graphics," Atari said.
"We are looking forward to providing gamers with the experience of the iconic Atari catalog on a handheld platform," Atari producer Matt Rush said in a statement. "Offering these Atari classics in both their elemental and contemporary forms should excite both old-school and next-generation gamers alike."
In addition to the evolved classics, more than 60 original Atari 2600 titles, such as Yar's Revenge, Night Driver, Canyon Bomber and Crystal Castles, will also be made available.
