Lunar Lander
Millipede
Missile Command
Super Breakout
Tempest
Warlords
Pong

The aforementioned titles will provided original game play, updated versions and of course updated graphic rendering. Matt Rush, producer for Atari added:

"We are looking forward to providing gamers with the experience of the iconic Atari catalog on a handheld platform...Offering these Atari classics in both their elemental and contemporary forms should excite both old-school and next-generation gamers alike."

With another 60 or so Atari 2600 titles on their way and online leader boards for the above coin-in originals, this pack is sure to be a hit.

Stay tuned to PSU for further information and news on the next 60 titles.

Hey I am an older guy who was about in the time atari roamed the earth and i too cant stand these trip down memory lane game bundles, been there done that and above all they are awfull to play. I have made the mistake of buying one of these bundled classics titles and had to take it back it was sooooooo boreing. I now like to play games with life like graphics and physics and keep the fond memorys of asteroid firmly in the back of my memory
