Atari is making a big comeback with its new Atari 2600+ console, and the classic games company has released a launch trailer showcasing the console! Yes, this “accurate modern-day recreation” of the classic console is available for purchase right now if you want it!
Atari was launched 46 years ago in 1977 and was one of the first major modern home video game consoles. It was actually the first game console I ever owned when I was a kid. It was given to us by a family friend and they gave us a bunch of games too!
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 some stored away in the basement or attic, it’s time to get 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+ can be ordered here for $130 USD, if you want one.
The ten games include:
-
Adventure
-
Fight
-
Dodge them
-
Haunted house
-
Labyrinth mania
-
Missile Command
-
Realsports
-
Volleyball
-
To surround
-
Video pinball
-
Yars’ Revenge
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 Breakout, Canyon Bomber, Night Driver, and Video Olympics. Additionally, Atari will sell a CX-40 standalone joystick for $35. Finally, Atari will offer the Berzerk-Enhanced Edition and Mr. Run and Jump 2600 for $30 each.
