Atari Classics Evolved Comes to the PSP

After initially giving a street date of November 13, Atari Classics Evolved is finally shipping for the PSP as we speak. Full of genre-defining classics like: Battlezone, Centipede, Millipede, Missile Command, Tempest, Lunar Lander, Super Breakout, Warlord, Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe and Pong, this PSP exclusive also contains eleven additional arcade classics. Players will be able to unlock more than 40 original Atari 2600 titles, which include such noted favorites as Yar’s Revenge, Night Driver, Canyon Bomber and Crystal Castles among many others.

“Gamers today have gotten used to the increasing complexity of video games,” said Todd Slepian, Producer, Atari. “But it’s always nice to take a break from these monstrous titles and go back to the games that defined our childhoods. With so many fun classic games packed into such a small disc, it’s hard not to crack a little smile for days gone by.”

For true arcade authenticity, all eleven classic arcade titles in Atari Classics Evolved feature their original retro graphics, as well as an option for newly rendered “evolved” graphics and enhanced gameplay. While retaining the tried-and-true gameplay of the original games, the titles also feature online leaderboards, allowing players to compare scores against other players around the world. Some games also have local peer-to-peer wireless capability allowing players to compete in fierce local multiplayer matches.
