Quick Primer: What Is Atari 50?

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is a playable documentary from Digital Eclipse that spans 50 years of Atari history. The base collection features 100+ playable classics, six newly created “Reimagined” games, and an award-winning interactive timeline filled with all-new developer interviews, scanned artifacts, and contextual videos. It covers hardware and games from arcade, 2600, 5200, 7800, Atari 8-bit computers, Lynx, and Jaguar, presenting each title inside a cohesive, museum-style narrative that’s easy to browse or deep-dive.


Why It Matters

Bandai Namco’s classics—PAC-MAN, GALAGA, DIG DUG, XEVIOUS, and GALAXIAN—are pillars of the golden age of gaming. Bringing their Atari console and computer incarnations (plus key arcade versions) into Atari 50 not only expands the playable library but also enriches the timeline with first-hand history and period ephemera—precisely what makes Atari 50 stand apart from typical retro compilations.
