Atari signs 10-game deal with Universal for movies based on Pong, Breakout, Centipede, and yes, really, Pong Get ready for 90 minutes of Liam Neeson punching holes in brick walls, or... A Deadline report says Atari, in partnership with management and production company Entertainment 360, has signed a deal that gives Universal Pictures the right to turn 10 of Atari's best-known games into movies. "We are excited to work with Universal and Entertainment 360 to bring the spirit of our iconic brand and games to a new medium." The games in question are undeniably Atari classics, although not necessarily obvious fodder for film adaptations: - Asteroids - Adventure - Berzerk - Breakout - Centipede - Crystal Castles - Millipede - Missile Command - Pong - Yes, Pong - Yars’ Revenge The intent, according to the report, is to turn the properties into "big-scale action-adventure fare." "Matt Reilly and I grew up playing Atari 2600 games and have remained fans ever since," said Guymon Casady of Entertainment 360, a producer on the first film to come out of the deal. 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.
