Yesterday, Atari, Inc. announced that Atari Classics Evolved is in development by Stainless Games Ltd. for the Playstation Portable (PSP). Set for a Fall 2007 release, Atari Classics Evolved will feature plenty of old school gaming. Presented in both original and evolved versions, Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Battlezone, Centipede, Lunar Lander, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong, Super Breakout, Tempest, and Warlords will all contain their original gameplay while showing off new and up-to-date graphics. Players from around the world can compare scores with the online leaderboards, and the game will feature peer-to-peer wireless compatibility for titles that have multiplayer capabilities. Matt Rush (Producer) said:

“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.”

Along with the 11 updated titles, over 60 original Atari 2600 titles will be included too, such as Canyon Bomber, Crystal Castles, Night Driver, and Yar’s Revenge.

So who wants to get their ass kicked in Pong?
