Atari has signed a deal with Universal to develop films based on ten of its games, including Pong, Breakout and Centipede. The agreement could bring some of the earliest and most recognisable arcade franchises to cinema, extending the recent trend of adapting video-game properties for film and television.

The announcement identifies a ten-game slate, though the article’s headline repeats Pong and does not name the remaining titles. Details such as production teams, release dates, budgets and story concepts have not been provided, leaving open how Universal will adapt games originally built around simple arcade mechanics.
