Activision brings its Atari 2600 Anthology to the App Store

Fans of Activision's Atari 2600 back catalogue will be delighted to read that the gaming giant's Activision Anthology app will be available on iOS tomorrow.

By just downloading the app, you will receive a free copy of Atari 2600 bomb-dropping classic Kaboom!

There will be a total of 45 Activision and Imagic games on offer via in-app purchases, including old favourites such as Pitfall!, River Raid, Barnstorming, Stampede, and Demon Attack.

All of the games come with their original box art and manuals, as well as hints and tips. On top of all that, there will be full Game Center integration, so you can try and earn achievements and top leaderboards for as long as your fingers will let you.

The Activision Anthology will be available from midnight tonight for free on the App Store.
