One of the finest classic retro compilations of this generation is easily Activision Anthology for the PlayStation 2. So the revelation that Activision's working to produce a collection of its old-school Atari 2600 games for the PSP is very exciting indeed.
This fall, Activision will release Activision Hits Remixed, a compilation of more than 40 games from Activision's Atari 2600 origins. The versions for the PSP will be accurate representations of the original classics: games such as Pitfall, Kaboom!, Chopper Command, Stampede, Keystone Kapers will be included in all their blocky glory.
The PSP collection looks like it will mirror the presentation of the IGN Editor's Choice-rated Activision Anthology for the PlayStation 2; the portable rendition will feature an 80s themed soundtrack as well as a modernized front end that spotlights the original game's artwork and manuals.
There will be plenty of unlockables based on specific achievements set in each game. Activision Hits Remixed will also support the PSP's Game Share feature for multiplayer support - only one copy of the game will be needed to play the two player-supported games over the PSP system's wireless networking.
The release date, price, ESRB rating, and complete game library have not been revealed for Activision Hits Remixed.
