In November 2009, Code Mystics marked the public debut of its FOCAL Emulation Technology with
six timeless classics from Atari: Adventure, Asteroids, Battlezone, Crystal Castles, Lunar Lander, and Yars' Revenge. These games are true to their
originals; pixel-perfect recreations of these seminal favourites.
What's more, they'll play directly in your browser! But, this
isn't token gaming in a tiny window... you can go full screen for
the full arcade experience. No custom plug-ins required, just the
ubiquitous Adobe Flash 10. It's as easy as YouTube!
And, even better, you can play them all for free! No
configuration, no purchases... retrogaming has never been this
accessible!
Our online retrogaming offerings were expanded in 2010 with
the addition of Asteroids Deluxe, Centipede, Gravitar, Haunted House, Millipede, Missile Command, and Tempest. Like their predecessors, these games
are 100% accurate recreations, playing exactly as you remember
them.
Currently, the Atari Classic Arcade line-up
from Code Mystics can still be found on the Internet Archive.

*Imporant Note: it could take
several minutes for the page to complete loading and the game to
launch as the leaderboard servers are no longer online.
These Atari classic arcade games have been a part of a number
of online venues and promotions over the years:
- Atari,
for a time, had the Atari Arcade online website where
these games could be played for free. You could even
compete to be the best in the world on the global
leaderboards!
- The Michigan Lottery hosted a promotion in early 2011 where
players got to play our Atari classics online for a
chance to win a PlayStation 3!
- In the latter half of 2011, Pepsi
hosted a competition on their Pepsi Throwback Facebook
fan page. Players got to compete on weekly and monthly
leaderboards for a chance to win an Atari Flashback 2+ console or an iPad
equipped with an iCade and Atari's
Greatest Hits. For this promotion, Code Mystics
adapted our online versions of Asteroids, Battlezone,
Centipede, Missile Command, Tempest,
and Yars' Revenge for play within Facebook.
- The classic Missile Command was found online at
Atari's 30th Anniversary revival promotion of
2010. (Note: this version will no longer load as Atari's
leaderboard servers are no longer online.)
- From 2011 to 2015, the games were also available for free
in the Google
Chrome store.
