Ewan gets back to his arcade gaming roots in his review of Atari Legends Volume 1, for the Nokia N-Gage platform. Great conversions, but it's not quite the same as standing in front of a large-screened coin-op, is it?

Great review but one correction:

These games WERE designed for the portrait screenshape of the N-Gage, early arcade machines used such a screenshape so they actually suit N-Gage pretty well.

Lateron there were landscape versions made, but the originals (for some of the games at least) used a vertical screenshape.

Millipede for example:

Yep, yo';re right, Millipede was vertical orientation, but all the vector games (and MIssile Command) for sure were originally landscape.
