The Atari 2600+ has been revealed and is described as a “faithful and modern recreation” of the classic console. Atari was launched 46 years ago in 1977 and was one of the first major modern home video game consoles.
The Atari 2600+ comes from Atari and publisher Plaion and comes with 10 of Atari’s most popular games loaded onto one cartridge, including Adventure AND Missile command. You’ll also be able to play with any Atari 2600 or 7800 game cartridge, so if you have any stashed in the basement or attic, it’s time to dig them out!
The console was designed using “modern technology” and includes the system’s iconic CX40 joystick built to the same dimensions and layout. The Atari 2600+ runs on USB power and connects to the screen via HDMI and supports multiple resolutions.
The Atari 2600+ will launch on November 17, 2023 and pre-orders are available now for $130 USD. The ten games include:
-
Adventure

Fight

Dodge them

Plaion and Atari are also launching a bundle that includes the CX-30 paddle controller and a four-game bundle for $40. Games included in this bundle include Prison Break, Canyon Bomber, Night Driver, AND Video Olympics. Additionally, Atari will sell a standalone CX-40 joystick for $35. Finally, Atari will offer Berzerk- Improved edition AND Mister Run and Jump 2600 for $30 each.
