Atari and Microsoft Bring Favorite Arcade Classics To Your Web Browser
If you have a hard time picturing what your childhood would have been like without blasting asteroids to smithereens or battling your friends in Pong, you’re in for a treat. If you have no idea what we’re talking about, you’re still in for a lot of fun, thanks to Atari. The venerable game maker is partnering with Internet Explorer to launch Atari Arcade, complete with a ton of Atari’s best-loved games.
Atari’s 40-year anniversary and Internet Explorer’s upcoming version 10 are the reasons for the new, HTML5-based online game platform. Multiple browsers are supported, but Internet Explorer gets the ad-free version. Microsoft is using the platform to showcase Internet Explorer’s HTML5 support.
If you’re a developer, stay tuned. You’ll be able to get a hold of CreateJS so you can put your game-creating skills to the test. And if you’re headed to PAX Prime (now through September 2), check out Internet Explorer’s booth in the north lobby for more Atari Arcade fun. Also, don’t miss the promo video with Nolan Bushnell.
