Details are scarce Apart from the2012 HD remake, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a newTony Hawk’s Pro Skatergame. You’d have to go back to 2010’s poorly receivedShredto find a fresh title in the series. That appears set to change, as the news was spoken by the legend himself. As reported byIGN, Tony Hawk mentioned several times on his SiriusXM radio show that “we’re working on a new game.” Despite the lack of details given by Hawk, Activision corroborated his claims and confirmed that it’s involved in a new project for theTony Hawkfranchise, and that “more info is coming soon....

Well, the Atari mod is useful. Modding an SNES is just pure blasphemy. More on that one in a second. The Atari 2600 converted into an iPod docking stationwas made byByron Casebier.
