IDW Games Announces Atari Partnership

Some of the Greatest Games of All Time Get New Life as a Tabletop Game Series
San Diego, CA (March 8, 2017Atari®, one of the world's most recognized publishers and producers of interactive entertainment, and IDW Games, announced today that they have entered into a partnership to produce a line of tabletop games based on several classic Atari videogame titles. Centipede®, Asteroids®, and Missile Command® are all headed to the tabletop by way of Jon Gilmour, co-designer of Dead of Winter, and his hand-picked crew of up-and-coming co-developers.

Set to capture the feel of these classic titles, the Atari line of board games are fun, intense and fast-paced. While each game in the series will play differently from the others, they will all have you nostalgic for the days of being hunched over a CRT in a dark arcade with your eyes on the prize: top of the high-score chart.

PIXELS Electric Dreams Factory at SDCC

PIXELS Electric Dreams Factory was an outside event at SDCC in the Gaslamp District. PIXELS is an upcoming movie featuring Adam Sandler, Kevin James etc... which is set to hit theaters in 2015. As we wait in line we are given 3 tokens to play some of the classic 80's arcade games such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede, Frogger, etc... The top 5 scores per day are entered to win a Playstation 4 and a Grand Prize winner will win a walk-on roll in PIXELS.

This was pretty fun to do. Haven't played these games in a long time. When you're done playing they take down your info in case you're one of the high scores of the day and can possibly win. If you don't win, it doesn't matter, you can get a cool 80's sunglasses from the Electric Dreams Factory worker.
