All of you who started playing games with the Atari 2600 console and today own an iPhone or Android-based device will want to check out the Activision Anthology. The application itself is free to download and comes with one free game – KABOOM!, with other classic titles also available from within the app. As you can imagine, controls are tweaked to make it possible to play on a touchscreen, but the graphics remains the same, bringing along a dose of nostalgia.
You’ll be able to access 45 classic Activision and Imagic games titles including Pitfall, River Raid, The Activision Decathlon, Barnstorming, Stampede, Pitfall II, Enduro, Demon Attack and many more. In addition, the games come with built-in leaderboards and achievements so you can see how you stack up against other players. And if you think your performance is especially stellar, you’re free to share it with the world via Facebook.
Finally, for those of you who almost started crying after reading about this app, you’ll love the fact that Activision Anthology also features the original cartridge and box art, as well as original game manuals, tips and strategies from the original game designers. Love it.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
