It looks like Atari wants to stop the bleeding by knocking the price of all of their games to $20. This goes for all games, on all formats, only in North America. It is being dubbed, “GamersFirst“, and will even allow you to purchase and download all games digitally via Steam or Direct2Drive, starting June 1st.
“Atari is committed to providing great gaming experiences to the largest possible audience,” said Atari chief executive officer Bruno Bonnell. “With our GamersFirst program, Atari is taking another step forward to make our unique catalogue of games more accessible to everyone. We are proud to announce our unique GamersFirst $20 program and reaffirm our commitment to consumers.”
Here’s a list of games from Atari that are generally considered good, and should be a steal at $20:

Slick willy! I’ve been looking for Indigo Prophecy since it was pulled from most retail shelves here in the U.S. I haven’t a clue as to why since it recieved such good press, although I suspect that since it was an adventure game and featured “different” (cinematical) gameplay, it’s possible these two things might have been a factor in poor sales.
I’ll be on the look out for them when they arrive soundly on Steam.
Indigo Prophecy is great, it deserves better publicity than what it got. I’d love to see more adventure games like it.
