Atari GO still a go
Atari is a name that retro gamers are very familiar with, and soon…barring any unforeseen difficulties…modern gamers will have the chance to learn more about the classic games available for this system and retro gamers can revisit the treasures of their past.
The brainchild behind the redevelopment of Atari’s classic hits, CEO David Gardener, is gone from the company, but his plans live on. Atari intends to allow outside developers to remake games by using Atari’s intellectual property. They will also make new, original games heavily inspired by retro classics…with Atari’s permission. The initiative is called Atari GO and there are currently over a dozen titles in the works. Beta versions of Faeries vs. Darklings and Test Drive Unlimited 2 are already available.
Atari GO hopes to capitalize on the growing mobile and online gaming market by creating and recreating games that will be appealing to modern gamers as well as old school players. Read more about it.
