It was summer of 1972 when Atari released its first arcade game – Pong. It was revolutionary entertainment, launching Atari to quickly become the definitive gaming platform of its era, selling http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_2600 30 million Atari 2600 consoles. Most modern, successful video game franchises are still inspired by Ataris original creative concepts. Today with Atari and the help of our friend http://gskinner.com/ Grant Skinner we are launching http://arcade.atari.com/ Atari Arcade , continuing to showcase whats possible on the web when you couple a modern browser like IE10 with a modern OS and the power of HTML5. Atari Arcade is an updated take on eight classic Atari games like Pong, Asteroids, Missile Command, and Centipede – all built with HTML5 and multi-player capabilities that come to life with a new Windows 8 touch device and Internet Explorer 10. It also works great in IE9 on a Windows 7 PC, or any other modern browser.
