Can you believe it’s been 40 years since Atari<\/a> opened for business? I haven’t even been alive that long. I didn’t know that anybody<\/em> was even alive 40 years ago. I mean, that’s like forever ago. Gondwanaland and velociraptors and all that.<\/p>\n

Opening a video game business back then was way risky, but apparently it’s paid off for Atari – enough that, today and today only, you can get 100 Atari games for free from the iOS<\/a> App Store.<\/p>\n

That’s a savings of $9.99, which 40 years ago would have bought you a whole cave in the nice part of the Paleocene, with enough left over to put your kids through a good hunter-gatherer school.<\/p>\n

The Atari Greatest Hits app<\/a> includes Atari classics like, you know, basically everything you remember playing when you were five – Centipede, Asteroids, Lunar Lander, Pong, Breakout, and ninety-five more.<\/p>\n

The app is free to download, but be warned – if you delete the app from your iThing, you won’t be able to get it back without paying for it.<\/p>\n
