Phoenix, Vanguard, Space Invaders, Defender, etc. This will only have Atari's own arcade games, like Warlords, Centipede, Asteroids, Missile Command, etc. Lunar Lander should be okay, but those other two choices seem odd for remakes, because pong style games really require a paddle or dial-style controller to be playable. With a d-pad or analog stick, they're almost impossible, too touchy.
