(1/1)

Renegade:
This looks like a bit of retro fun:

Get ready to stop working: Atari and Microsoft have released an 'arcade' of classic games for free.

Celebrating Atari's 40th birthday - and Microsoft's upcoming launch of Internet Explorer 10 - the collaboration sees eight games brought back to life with HTML 5.

The games are all playable on Atari's website - ad-free if you use Internet Explorer.

The games are:

Asteroids
Pong
Lunar Lander
Missile Command
Centipede
Combat
Yars' Revenge
Super Breakout

A few games that I remember there. :)

Renegade:
Lunar Lander didn't seem to work. Super Breakout sucks without paddles. Missile Command was nifty. Yars' Revenge needs paddles as well. Still, all pretty cool. Didn't try any others.

x16wda:
Pong was a little disappointing; the graphics weren't as smooth as I would have thought, and the ball had a tendency to fall in the gap between the edge of the field and the edge of the paddle at its farthest.

I really wanted to see Defender, that was the bomb back on my Atari 400!
