Atari turned to the past in hopes of a future. The company bought up more than 100 classic games
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Atari has announced the acquisition of more than 100 classic PC and console games, including the high-profile platformer Bubsy.
While most video game publishers and developers experiment with new big-budget franchises, Atari is taking a different approach. In the 1970s, Atari dominated the gaming market, but today it has carved out a niche business model capitalizing on nostalgia rather than chasing the latest trends.
Atari acquires rights to classic games and creates studios that help monetize those rights and turn them into release-ready products. The company announced the acquisition of rights to “more than 100 PC and console games from the 1980s and 1990s.”
The press release does not provide detailed information about all the acquired games, but lists the following:
- Bubsy
- Hardball
- Demolition Racer series
- 1942: Pacific Air War F-117A
- F-14 series
As a reminder, Atari recently acquired Nightdive Studios, known for bringing numerous classic games to modern platforms, including Doom 64, System Shock, Blood, Turok, Quake, and Blade Runner.
