Atari Expands Blockchain Gaming Arsenal and Partners with Anomura to Integrate DailyCoin’s In-Game Assets

Gamers spend approximately eight hours and 27 minutes each week playing games, wouldn’t it be a huge improvement if this generated a positive effect on the environment and didn’t just contribute to carbon footprints that waste megajoules of energy?

A gaming experience that combines wildlife conservation awareness through compelling gameplay, Anomura is partnering with Atari, a founding member of the arcade, game console and PC industries. This is a mutual opportunity to showcase the capabilities of both the gaming industry and blockchain technology. Through this partnership, Atari is creating an exclusive mint experience for Anomura by integrating assets from games such as Asteroids®, Adventure, PONG®, Centepede®, Atari Arcade, Atari 2600 and more, while exploring future in-game integration of elements and games for to explore interoperability within Anomura and beyond.

“Fans of Atari will love to see their favorite classic games integrated into Anomura’s Web3 games,” said Tyler Drewitz, director of Atari X of Atari X. “We are excited to partner with Anomura as they create the next generation of blockchain games.”

Through the landmark partnership, Anomura will add elements from gaming giant Atari’s vast IP catalog to the blockchain-based play-and-earn game. Atari assets include in-game integrations and a limited NFT collection

Atari evokes nostalgia as one of the first home gaming systems created in 1977. The Atari 2600 became one of the most popular gaming systems in history, with sales of over 30 million over three decades. In recent years, Atari has entered the blockchain gaming space by launching Atari X, a robust blockchain ecosystem that intertwines gaming, community and utility. Atari X consolidates Atari’s blockchain interests into a unified operation that is fully controlled by Atari.

Anomura is an NFT Pixel-art game that goes beyond carbon neutral to become “Ocean Positive” – helping the environment by planting kelp in Southern California and mangrove forests in Indonesia. It leverages its retro styling to facilitate Atari’s push into the forward-thinking world of Web3 gaming.

“Anomura is proud to be the bridge between the original game console and blockchain games,” said Long Do, Game Director of Anomura. “ By partnering with a gaming giant like Atari, we hope to build a whole new gaming adventure. We hope to leverage Anomura’s unique style with Atari’s technology to create the most immersive in-game experience that pushes the gaming industry forward.”

Created and built by NFT Game Director Long Do, Anomura is the byproduct of years of research that combines experiences Do has encountered as both a developer and long-time player himself. Anomura sits under the wing of Virtually Human Studios (VHS), the creators of ZED RUN. VHS continues to dive into supporting projects that promote accessibility and inclusion in the Web3 space. The entertainment brand’s recent launch of Human Park – a metaverse experience with extremely low barriers to entry – was its first venture into bridging the gap between the masses and Web3, and its support of Anomura continues the trend.
