Play free Atari games online on the new official website
Atari.com lets you play free Atari games online anywhere! The re-launch of Atari.com will give classic gaming fans the chance to play Atari’s legendary, addictive coin-op arcade and 2600 classics in the new Atari Arcade for free.
The new website will also let you enter contests, get information on Atari’s most recent and upcoming releases, buy games through the Atari Store via box or digital download, and access exclusive merchandise.
In the Atari Arcade fans can play free games such as Asteroids, Adventure, Battlezone, Crystal Castles, Lunar Lander and Yars Revenge. The classics, often replicated but never improved upon, appear in their complete original forms. The Arcade includes worldwide leader boards where gamers can see how they stack up and compete against others. Missile Command will be added in early 2010. While not mentioned, Centipede seems sure to follow too.
“Today commences the first stage in Atari’s ongoing commitment to growing its online business with the re-launch of Atari.com,” said Jim Wilson, President and CEO of Atari, Inc. “Our online roadmap contains a multitude of enhancements and exciting new features which over time will redefine how people play and connect with Atari.”
At Atari.com, consumers will also have the opportunity to purchase exclusive apparel featuring the iconic Atari full logo as well as benefit from exclusive discounts on game bundles and shipping discounts on multiple purchases to enjoy the company’s current blockbuster titles such as the mega hit Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which has already sold more than one million copies, and the critically acclaimed massively multiplayer title, Champions Online. Games will be available in digital download format as well as box copies. Additionally, members of the Atari community will be able to keep up to date on news and announcements on upcoming titles, such as the highly anticipated Star Trek Online and Project Runway.
