Fun with Internet Explorer 10



So you’ve just picked up Windows Phone 8 and are eager to take the new browser for a spin?

I’ve got just the spots to check out.  As the team behind Internet Explorer 10—the browser that comes with both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8—notes on its blog today, the popular sites Pulse and Atari Arcade have just been optimized for the phone. Go take a look, then read the IE team’s post for more of the backstory.

Atari Arcade

If (like me) you grew up with a 2600 under the TV—or just love classic games—you’ve got to try Atari Arcade on your phone. The site—a Time Magazine top website of 2012—is a collaboration between Microsoft and Atari designed to bring Atari’s classic line up to the web with HTML5 and multi-touch. Now the two companies have teamed up again to optimize four of the games—Pong, Missile Command, Asteroids and Super Breakout—for Windows Phone. Check them out.
