Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the original Pong arcade game, Atari is asking the community to help in re-envisioning the game and bringing it to modern handhelds.
In addition to a full revenue-share publishing agreement including marketing and PR support, Atari is offering indie developers cash prizes of $50,000 for 1st place, $37,500 for 2nd place, $15,000 for 3rd place, and $5,000 to each of the remaining seven finalists.
Finalists will launch their games on the App Store later this year under the Atari brand, along with a publishing agreement and full launch support.
