Atari's 50th Anniversary Celebration Expands with 39 More Classic Games

Atari, a video game pioneer, is reigniting its legacy with an expanded edition of its 50th-anniversary collection. The original Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration already boasted over 90 retro titles spanning various Atari consoles. Now, the Extended Edition, launching October 25th, 2024, across major platforms including the Atari VCS, will add a whopping 39 more classic games.

This isn't just a simple expansion; it significantly enriches the historical context. The update introduces two new interactive timelines: "The Wider World of Atari" and "The First Console War." The former showcases Atari's enduring influence through playable games, video segments featuring interviews, vintage advertisements, and historical artifacts—a treasure trove curated by Digital Eclipse. The latter timeline delves into the iconic rivalry between Atari 2600 and Mattel's Intellivision in the early 1980s, again using a mix of playable games and video content.

While the specific list of added games remains under wraps, Atari hints at a deep dive into Berzerk, lesser-known late-80s titles, and fan favorites from Mattel's M Network.

Physical Editions for Collectors

For physical media enthusiasts, Atari is releasing a special edition for Nintendo Switch and PS5. The Switch version, priced at $49.99, includes a Steelbook case, Atari 2600 art cards, miniature arcade marquee signs, and a replica Al Alcorn business card. The standard digital edition will cost $39.99. This expanded collection offers a comprehensive retrospective of Atari's impactful journey, solidifying its place in gaming history.
