Atari Mania Coming to Playstation
March 1, in the year of our Lord 2023 --
Protecting the Atari Vault just became your new career. Your
first on-the-job training? Defeating an onslaught of evil dead
pixels who have corrupted your favorite Atari characters and
games!
Today, Atari is pleased to announce that the microgame
collection Atari Mania is coming to PlayStation 4 and
PlayStation 5 on April 4, 2023. Soon to be available for $24.99,
Atari Mania is pure microgame madness meets action-adventure,
with over 150 wild challenges. Atari Mania features levels,
characters, and challenges based on classic Atari games and
properties.
The game’s controls have been completely overhauled for the
PlayStation launch, and performance has been fine tuned. In
response to user feedback, the development team at Illogika has
improved the controls to make them feel smoother, more
responsive, and more accurate. Additionally, this new version
includes revamped microgames and performance improvements. A
patch with the same improvements will be pushed to the Nintendo
Switch as well.
A wild journey through video game history, Atari Mania is
wrapped in a hilarious retro-driven narrative of exploration and
surprise. And in proper Atari fashion, features dozens of easter
eggs, and packs a punch with fiendishly challenging puzzles and
scenarios that will make you think twice about the Atari games
you once knew!
In the game, you take on the role of the Atari Vault caretaker,
responsible for protecting the retro gaming classics of
yesteryear. One night, the vault is infiltrated by evil dead
pixels who wish to see the end of retro gaming as we know it.
It’s up to you to battle it out with the evil which has infected
the familiar faces and games of the golden age of video games!

way possible!
