By the Betanews Staff | Published August 21, 2007, 12:04 PM
Atari said Tuesday that it was in the process of developing a package of classic games playable on Sony’s PlayStation Portable game system, as well as taking those games and ‘evolving’ them into more up-to-date versions which would include up-to-date graphics. The games include Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Battlezone, Centipede, Lunar Lander, Millipede, Missile Command, Super Breakout, Tempest, Warlords and Pong.
"We are looking forward to providing gamers with the experience of the iconic Atari catalog on a handheld platform," said Matt Rush, Producer, Atari, Inc. "Offering these Atari classics in both their elemental and contemporary forms should excite both old-school and next-generation gamers alike." The company also says it is planning to make more than 60 games from the 2600 platform available on the PSP as well, which will include online leaderboards and peer-to-peer wireless compatibility.

Useless System?...I wouldn't say that, specially when you're running homebrew ;)

Hasbro already tried "updating" the games when they owned the Atari stuff and we all know how well that turned out. Granted that was on the PC though, a handheld may do better. As for the originals, I'm pretty sure anyone who wants to play them already has all the roms and there are emulators for practically every platform. Those little gagdets you hook up to your TV seemed to be popular though so who knows.
