Hi, Not only that activision has recently released all the Atari games in new packaging, with new tv consoles, and you know what? They sold like crazy. Never mind Asteroids, Pacman, Dig Dug, Galaxian, etc are 25 year old games. People still like them, and they are exactly the way they were in the 1980's. Again age has nothing to do with replay value and interest in a game.
