Atari is back with a new teaser trailer for Atari Mania, its upcoming microgames collection. Brand new levels are shown off for the first time.
Atari Mania involves players taking on the role of Caretaker of the Atari Vault, the repository for all classic Atari games. One day, chaos is unleashed as dead pixels suddenly appear in the Vault and begin wreaking havoc.
More than just a blast from the past, Atari Mania sees beloved titles merged with one another, reimagined in creative and fun mashups both nostalgic and innovative. Play through a selection of over 150 microgames, each based on beloved classic Atari games from the 1970s and ‘80s golden era of gaming. Featuring a zany storyline, aid the Caretaker of the Vault and restore order to this prized collection of video game history, all while discovering an Easter egg or two along the way!
