If you've ever found yourself wanting a bacon and eggs-themed [Atari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-xp), look no further than the Hashteroids breakfast game on the [Denny's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sizzlin-breakfast-skillets) Atari Remix app.

In partnership with Atari, Hashteroids and two other games are being used to promote the new Greatest Hits Remixed meals at Denny's, which put a focus on classic American meals with a twist. These Atari games also feature tasty twists, such as having the blocks in the Take-Out game swapped for [bacon, eggs and pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-white-berry-pancake-slam). Centipup is another game that's modeled after Centipede, where players must squirt ketchup at enemies.

As well as being fun blasts from the past, these breakfast-themed games have got to be a great way to work up a big appetite.
