Whisper it, but decent things are once more happening at Atari. OK OK, it's got a bizarre interest in the blockchain (though hardly alone in that) and dreams up hotels that will never exist, but under the stewardship of CEO Wade Rosen the onetime colossus is gradually remembering it used to be more than a t-shirt logo: the recent 50th anniversary collection the perfect illustration of why.
A theme of Rosen's tenure has been returning to the back catalogue, either for remasters or in some cases new versions, and now here we are with the announcement of a new game based on an arcade cabinet from 1979. Lunar Lander was Atari's first vector graphics game and came from a decade-old lineage of early sims all about, well, landing on the moon. That's the whole game: you have to manoeuvre a craft to land safely on inhospitable terrain before you run out of fuel.
