Published packages of 50 Atari 2600 and arcade titles for Nintendo 's laptop with a single card multiplayer support; notable games include Pong, Centipede, Space Duel, and others.
Atari released a collection of classics for the Nintendo DS five years ago to poor critical reception due in part to the game's "remixed graphics." However, the publisher is willing to try again.
Atari will be making the old new again this fall.
Atari today announced Atari's Greatest Hits: Volume 1, a new classics compilation for Nintendo's popular portable. The title packs in 50 Atari 2600 and arcade titles, including popular games Pong, Asteroids, Centipede, and Space Duel. The game is due out in North America this fall.
For those who don't want to play the dated games alone, Atari has updated 20 of the titles with single-card multiplayer. Unfortunately, Atari only confirmed that Pong and Space Duel would receive the special multiplayer treatment.
In addition, the collection will include a digital copy of every game 's leadership, showcase Atari memorabilia, and mini-game Atari trivia where players race against time to answer questions about the company's history.

A recent survey conducted by Ipsos in the UK revealed that 64 per cent of the 1,000 users polled would rather have games on physical discs, while only 25 per cent would prefer digital copies. In the survey, 55 per cent of those polled said price was the key factor in determining their interest in downloading games, while 27 per cent said they wanted games available online before they were in the shops. Ipsos' director Ian Bramley explained, 'Interest absolutely drops away when you get to the types of pricing that you might charge for a new physical disc. People's perceptions are that they're not prepared to pay as much for digital content — they make the connection that it's not a physical disc and therefore it should be cheaper.'"
