Atari retro-fest in US

For those of you who missed this story, Atari is releasing a budget collection of 85 classic titles in a single package for PS2 and Xbox. Atari Anthology will include such legends as Asteroids, Battlezone and Missile Command and is set for a November release in the US. No word on a UK date yet.

The company is also producing a scaled-down version of the old 7800 console complete with 20 built-in games. It will be called the Atari Flashback, presumably because it'll give you a 'Flashback' to the mid-eighties when Atari was going down the pan and everyone was buying Commodore 64s.

Personally, until they release a flat-pack Do-It-Yourself Star Wars arcade cabinet so I can play the legendary movie tie-in at home I'm not interested.
