Atari has released two new iPhone games that might (with possible legal intervention) displace some imitators and related games.

Missile Command and Super Breakout are two popular classics, now available for sale in the App Store for $4.99 each. According to Atari’s blurb in the App Store descriptions, these games are “true evolutions of the original hits.”

Based on reports from players, this is very much the case – both are slightly, slicked up and modernized versions of the original hit games and play well.

Both games also allow you to play with one or two players. The two player mode requires you to handover your iPhone to the other player for game play. No wireless playing mode between devices is supported at release time.

But what about those lawyers, you ask? Atari’s legal team sent letters out recently to a variety of developers of Breakout clones that were for sale in the App Store. Atari claimed that those Apps were infringing on their intellectual property and asked them to discontinue selling the games. So far, it does not seem to have had any effect, as Superball 2 is still for sale in the store.
