Atari to bring 100 classic games to PC age

It’s time to put away or on display your old Atari console. Atari plans to bring 100 “iconic, fan-favorite” games to the PC. Called the Atari Vault, it will include games like Asteroids, Centipede, Missile Command, Tempest, and Warlords. These games will feature updated user interfaces, new online and local multiplayer options, and Steam Controller support. But what won’t change is the classic ‘70s and ‘80s soundtracks to take you back to that age of gaming. Atari Vault will also let you challenge other players on Steam Leaderboards to give you the ultimate bragging rights of being the best arcade player (if you are, that is).

Atari will be previewing Atari Vault at PAX South 2016 in Texas from January 29 to 31. Code Mystics is said to be developing the collection and will launch in Spring 2016.
