Haunted Houses

About

Haunted Houses gives a spooky update to an Atari classic with 3D environments and co-op play. Players navigate four new locations as they gather urn pieces while avoiding bats, spiders, and the Ghost Skull. The game alternates between a modern third-person perspective and the original’s top-down view, letting you choose your angle of terror. Puzzle elements mix with frantic escapes, keeping the focus on quick thinking and timing. Single-player or team-based, the goal remains the same: survive the haunted halls and collect all artifacts before getting chased into a corner. Released in 2022 as part of the Atari 50th-anniversary collection, it modernizes the formula while keeping the original’s charm. The updated visuals and added co-op give it a fresh appeal without overhauling what made the classic work. While not a lengthy experience, it captures the frantic energy of retro adventure games with a slightly scarier edge. Available on nearly every major platform, it’s a short but effective throwback for those looking to relive a digital horror tradition.
