THE400 Mini game list announced (Missile Command, Centipede)
The list of pre-installed games for THE400 Mini have been revealed.
Yesterday, a list of 25 games was released, and a slew of familiar titles will make their way to PLAION and Retro Games Ltd.’s forthcoming recreation of the Atari 400. Missile Command, Centipede, BattleZone, and Millipede are among the games featured on the mini-console. Aside from these games, owners can play their own compatible games via a USB flash drive.
Paul Andrews, Managing Director at Retro Games Ltd. said this about the release:
“Much like the other retro computers we’ve produced, it was important for us to make sure we included a diverse range of games with THE400 Mini. Many collectors want to preserve the art form that is video games, and we hope that our pre-installed titles will excite these gamers. Not only are many of the games historically important, but they also come bundled in a mini recreation of the design classic that is the Atari 400. We hope that retro gamers and collectors will like what we’ve put together.”
Stuart Chiplin, Head of Commercial Evaluations at PLAION also said:
“From dribbling up and down the court in Basketball, to escaping caves and completing puzzles in Boulder Dash, we think they’ll be something for everyone who has a passion for retro gaming. And for these dedicated fans we’re also pleased to reveal new images that showcase both the scale and detail of our new mini recreation. For the first time clear comparisons can be made between the original Atari 400 and THE400 Mini.”
