Ready, Set, PONG®!

That's right, "Pong®" is back, and this time - he ain't takin' any guff. Welcome to the world of "Pong® 3: Annihilation."

Okay, so not really.

"Atari Classics Evolved" will be released for the PSP this fall. The game feature such timeless games as AsteroidsTM, AsteroidsTM Deluxe, Battlezone®, CentipedeTM, Lunar Lander®, Millipede®, Missile Command®, Super BreakoutTM, TempestTM, WarlordsTM and Pong®.

And how are they evolved? New exciting graphics! Yeah! We're entering the age of hi-def Asteroids. Take that, '80s!

Oh the thrill of early video-games revamped for the new age and marketed in such a way that kids today will play them and make fun of their parents for enjoying such primitive work.

But that isn't fair. "Pong®" rules®.
