Atari may be dead as a publisher, but classic arcade games never die. Atari.com has relaunched and it includes some Atari classics which you can play online for free.
The site currently has Adventure, Battlezone, Asteroids, Crystal Castles, Lunar Lander, and Yar's Revenge. The browser-based games feature full-screen play and leaderboards.
Head on over and check out some true blasts from the past and see why they're classics. Do you remember how to find Adventure's Magic Dot?

This seems like a good idea.
I wouldn't say Atari is dead as a publisher, they put Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, you wouldn't call that anything other than an amazing AAA title. You guys even gave it a 9.5/10.
YAR'S REVENGE!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
I haven't played all of these, I'll have to give them a shot.
AWSUM!!! i used to love these games
Atari seems to be gaining its popularity back through their site. (Good idea!) Asteroids and Space Invaders are my favorites!
