Atari brings some of its biggest PC hits back to retail in budget form – this time specifically designed for laptop users…
The laptop market is one of biggest growth areas in today’s PC sector.
Once a distant second to the desktop, laptops have become a regular feature on public transport, with many consumers buying notebooks as a replacement to their home PC.
And this is something the team over at Atari have noticed, with its brand new Games For Laptop range.
“The Games For Laptop range is being released over a period of time to eventually make up a collection of specifically selected classic titles that are perfect to play on laptop operating systems,” explains Atari UK product manager Lauren Bradley.
Titles will include Boiling Point, Chris Sawyers Locomotion, Demon Stone, Dora the Explorer Dance to the Rescue, Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents under Pressure, My Horse and Me, Neverwinter Nights Deluxe, Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe, Tactical Ops and Tycoon City New York – a range that has been developed to appeal to a broad audience.
“Each title in the range has been tested and approved as suitable for laptops. In addition unique pocket-sized packs have been designed for portability.”
The games on offer are all sure to appeal to a wide range of consumers, from the hardcore to the casual. And the first titles due for release this month are real classics, including the critical and commercial smash hits Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 and Neverwinter Nights.
The new PC range is sure to be a success in the budget market, and the new, slim-downed packages, which are idea for laptop bags, offers an attractive selling point.
