Atari is plucking another franchise out of its deep archive bin for revival on modern platforms. Classic Atari 2600 space shooter Star Raiders is coming to PS3, 360 and PC early next year.
Star Raiders was, for its time, an ambitious first-person space quest that let players travel around a large space map shooting enemy aircraft.
The new game is said to retain much of the same core gameplay elements, albeit with 20+ years of technical advancement thrown in. Galactic tactical maps and space warps will return, and be enhanced by customisable ships and "radical battle transformations," according to GameSpot.
The new game will also boast an episode storyline to tie the whole thing together, plus online co-op for the main campaign and competitive team-based multiplayer.
