They obviously got the idea from a thread I started here on AtariAge

Oh no. In the spirit of what this company has been doing lately, I fully expect this to SUCK and FLOP with the public. This is just the latest example of them whoring-out the old trademarks for a buck.

The only question I'd like to know: Is the same "genius" (facetious reference, obviously) who ran the company into the ground (this time) the same "genius" who decided the way out of the hole is whoring out the trademarks, while simultaneously destroying nostalgia (the only thing they have left) by rendering these same trademarks irrelevant? Who are the rocket scientists making these decisions?

I think the idea to turn Centipede into a roller coaster went way too far.
