Early Atari games played a pivotal role in shaping the video game landscape with iconic titles such as Centipede, Asteroids, and Missile Command. To commemorate the legendary company's 50th anniversary in 2022, Atari released Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, a comprehensive compilation featuring over 100 classic games, along with updated Recharged versions designed to modernize these timeless titles. The Humble Atari Recharged Retro Revival bundle offers a treasure trove of these Recharged classics, including Atari 50, for a mere $20. This bundle is structured in multiple tiers, allowing you to pay what you wish to access the games you desire. For a $5 investment, you receive Asteroids: Recharged, Black Widow: Recharged, and Centipede: Recharged, plus 10% off coupons for Yars Rising and the Atari 50 Expanded Edition DLC bundle. Opting for $10 adds Breakout: Recharged, Gravitar: Recharged, Missile Command: Recharged, and Yars: Recharged to your collection. A $15 contribution unlocks Caverns of Mars: Recharged, Berzerk: Recharged, and Quantum: Recharged. The $20 tier grants you Atari 50, totaling 11 games (plus all the embedded games within Atari 50) and two coupons. You can also choose to donate more than $20, as Humble Bundles support charitable causes. Proceeds from the Atari Recharged Retro Revival Bundle benefit Take This, a charity dedicated to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues by engaging with the gaming community and industry, and providing mental health resources and training.
For those interested in acquiring these Atari games through other means, Atari 50 on Switch has seen a price reduction, now available for $20 at both Best Buy and Target, down from its previous $30 price tag. Additionally, the Atari 50 Expanded Edition is set to release soon, adding 39 more games to the original collection, bringing the total to over 140. The Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Expanded Edition is available for preorder and is scheduled for release on November 8. Preorder options include the Switch and PlayStation 5 versions of Atari 50 Expanded Edition, as well as the Switch Steelbook Edition, all available on Amazon.
