Microsoft launches free Atari Arcade for browser

Games portal scalable to tablet devices and open to third-party developers

Microsoft is bringing Atari’s 40-year library of games to browser and tablets with the newly launched Atari Arcade.
Compatible with Internet Explorer, HTML5 versions of eight games will be available to play for free on the site.

These include Asteroids, Combat, Centipede, Lunar Lander, Missile Command, Pong, Super Breakout and Yar’s Revenge.
The games have been slightly redesigned for modern hardware and are all compatible with touch-screen, and can be scaled to various sized tablet devices and PCs. It is not optimised for smartphones however.
Pong can be played by dragging the player’s bar, Missile Command uses mutli-touch whilst other games use a button press UI. Users can also keep track of their high scores and how many times they have played a game.
