Alliance and Atari Make Slots
Alliance Gaming and Atari Video Games
will now have something in common – slot machines. The two companies
have teamed up to start making slot machines based on old Atari Video
Games. The first one will be “Pong”, with others to follow. They plan
on doing “Asteroids”, “Centipede” and “Breakout” as well.
Atari is well known throughout the video
gaming industry, especially among those currently in their 30’s and
40’s who lived through the Atari video game revolution. During the
70’s the company came out with a slew of video games that middle-aged
adults will now be able to play as slot machines.
"Titles such as PONG and Asteroids evoke
such a strong favorable response with gamers of all types and we're
excited to team up with Atari to produce a series of slots that will
showcase these timeless classics and give casino visitors a memorable
new form of entertainment," said Richard Haddrill of Alliance Gaming
Corp.
