A new platform means a new chance for Atari to sell its classics. For Windows 8 tablets, it's partnered with Microsoft for a browser-based "Atari Arcade," featuring updated, remade games like Pong, Missile Command, and Centipede, done in HTML5.
They're designed to work in all "modern" browsers, but have extra features on multitouch Windows 8 devices. Extra features ... and no ads. In addition, the Atari Arcade allows devs to create and publish their own Atari Arcade games through Atari's interface.
Pong seems like an odd way to emphasize the future-tech of your tablet, but hey, free Pong! Plus, a new development environment!

I wonder if the modern web browser would be where gaming is most popular since web browser games are getting better and better these days, people on Smartphones, Tablets, and PC like Apple Mac, Linux, and Windows can play the same game, and most web browser games are free to play since they are hosted on a website.
