Mumbo Jumbo to Publish
Classic ’80s Compilation Activision® Anthology: Remix Edition for the PC
Title will feature more than 75 Atari
2600 Favorites
Dallas, TX – September 23, 2003 – Retro game
fans, rejoice! Soon you will be able to play your favorite old-school Activision
games on your personal computer courtesy of Mumbo Jumbo, a subsidiary of United
Developers, LLC.
The ’80s are back with classic gaming collection Activision Anthology: Remix
Edition for personal computer systems. The Remix edition is jam-packed with over
75 Atari® 2600 favorites from Pitfall!® and Kaboom!® to River Raid®. Activision
Anthology: Remix Edition features an additional 30 titles that where not
available on the PLAYSTATION® 2 version, and a ’80s-themed soundtrack that will
let gamers play their way down memory lane.
"Where else can you find this many great games in one package?" asked Mumbo
Jumbo President Mark Cottam. "Activision
Anthology: Remix Edition is an incredible value with over 75 great games and a
cool ’80s music sound track."
Activision Anthology: Remix Edition lets players revisit old favorites
Barnstorming, Chopper Command, Freeway®, Megamania(tm) and more. Fans can play
all of the games in classic mode or, for an added challenge, they can be played
in 15 different unlockable wild and wacky enhanced gameplay modes. Classic mode
lets fans play the original way with all of the sound effects and action they
remember. Enhanced gameplay modes include Ricochet mode, in which the game
screen bounces around the television screen, Cube mode, where the game appears
on each face of a rotating cube, and Whirl mode where the screen slowly spins
360 degrees around the middle of the TV screen during gameplay. In addition,
instead of a typical flat-screen shell, the menu functions of the game are
brought to life in the setting of a teenager’s bedroom from the ’80s. To play a
game, fans need to select a title from the cartridge rack and place it into the
game system. To change the music and sound volumes, players must select the
radio and adjust the settings from there.
To
help make the trip back to the ’80s complete, Activision Anthology: Remix
Edition also includes original hits, licensed by MumboJumbo specifically for the
PC and Mac, from the era’s hottest artists including Fresh Prince, Flock of
Seagulls, Alan Parsons Project, Billy Ocean and many more.
"Activision Anthology: Remix Edition provides fans with an unprecedented retro
gaming experience on the PC," said David Anderson, Director Business Development
at Activision. "By combining the best of ’80s gaming and music with current
technology, gamers now have the best of both eras."
Activision Anthology: Remix Edition has a suggested retail price of $29.99 and
is rated "E" ("Everyone" – content suitable for persons six years or older) by
the ESRB. Look for Activision Anthology: Re-Mix at your favorite retailer or
at the Mumbo Jumbo store, located at
