Finally, I can once again hear the satisfying crash of a yellow dragon's jaws closing futilely behind me as I race through a maze. CNET's Crave blog reports that the Atari's Greatest Hits app is bringing old-school arcade and 2600 games to the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The app is free, and you load it up with games such as Missile Command, Adventure, Yar's Revenge, Warlords and Battlezone. Individual game packs are 99 cents, while the full 100-game bundle is $14.99.

Reviews are mixed: some seem over the moon about it, but I'm seeing a lot of complaints about the controls and display. I'm likely to give it a whirl, though -- who am I kidding, I pretty much HAVE to -- and will let you know what I think.
