Some say you’re only as old as you feel. Shmups Skill Test says you’re
only as old as you shoot! Shmups Skill Test is a clever way to evaluate your shmup skills in the form of a "gamer
age". Challenge and unlock shoot-’em-up-based minigames in a gauntlet of shmup nostalgia goodness. When it’s
over, you’ll be given a score and gamer age. The younger your gamer age, the better! Bring up to three friends along
for the ride and feel young (or old) again together.
Shmups Skill Test Features:
·Keep
on your toes with quick-hitting skill challenges
·Practice individual challenges or go for the randomized test
·Receive a strict score and “gamer age” based on shooting, dodging, judgement ability and more
·1-4
player support
·Replay support
·Rockin’ soundtrack sometimes bordering on the bizarre
·Includes
Steam Achievements, Leaderboards, and Cloud saves
Soon after the first wave, three more waves will be released
containing MINUS ZERO, TRIZEAL Remix, and EXZEAL respectively. With these four waves defeated,
the Shooting Love 20XX collection will be yours.

05/31/2016 - SIGFOX and Atari Announce Partnership to Develop Atari Branded Connected DevicesSIGFOX and Atari® Announce
Partnership to Develop Atari-branded Connected Devices Using SIGFOX’s Global IoT Network
NEW YORK and LABÈGE,
France, – May 31, 2016 – Atari®, one of the world's most recognized publishers and producers of interactive
entertainment, and SIGFOX, the world’s leading provider of dedicated communications service
for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced a global partnership to develop a line of new connected devices based on
Atari’s iconic brand.
The cooperation will bring together Atari’s brand and creative power with SIGFOX’s
unique value proposition: connecting the physical world to the Internet through a simple, reliable, low-cost, energy-efficient
solution. Currently operating in 18 countries and registering over 7 million devices in its network, SIGFOX is on its way
to establishing one global, seamless network that provides ubiquitous connectivity for billions of objects.
The
collaboration will cover a wide range of new Atari products, from the very simple to the highly sophisticated, providing customers
with an easy way to know at any time where the devices are and what their status is. The initial product line will include
categories such as home, pets, lifestyle and safety. By connecting to SIGFOX’s global network, the products will
benefit from its competitive advantages: a very long battery life and a simple solution that does not require local Internet
connectivity and pairing. As soon as the battery is inserted in the object, it is immediately connected to the network.
“Atari, which has disruption rooted in their DNA, was quick to envision the transformative role that the Internet
of Things can play in interactive entertainment,” said SIGFOX CEO Ludovic Le Moan. “Our network bridges the virtual
and physical worlds simply, reliably and inexpensively and this collaboration will launch a new dimension to gaming, while
supporting features that are limited only by the imagination.”
“SIGFOX is transforming the way people
are connecting to their objects in a simple and intuitive way. By partnering together and using SIGFOX’s dedicated IoT
connectivity, we are going to create amazing products with our brand,” said Fred Chesnais, Chief Executive Officer,
Atari. “We look forward to our collaboration with SIGFOX and releasing new products to the mass market on a global
scale.”
Development of the new product line will begin this year and more details will be shared soon.
