ATARI 50: THE ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION Gets All the Praise in New Accolades Trailer

Atari and Digital Eclipse recently launched Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection. This is a collection of Atari games to celebrate 50 years. I have yet to get my hands on it, but I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about it. Not only do you have the opportunity to enjoy titles spanning decades of video game history, but there are photos, short films, schematics, development sketches, and more inside that is supposed to be a killer museum for Atari. Below, you watch an accolades trailer for Atari 50 and see a ton of the nice things gamers and critics are saying.

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is a true Criterion-styled interactive compilation and love letter to the people and experiences that built the video game industry five decades ago. Explore beloved classic games through a new lens, hear from the designers and programmers that made it all happen, and watch exclusive documentary footage never before seen, along with other key artifacts. Additionally, Digital Eclipse has introduced a selection of newly reimagined games based on classic favorites, including AirWorld, the final and missing installment in the infamous Swordquest series.

Stroll through the decades across coin-op, 2600, 5200, 7800, Atari 8-bit computers, Lynx, and Jaguar consoles to get a taste of the magic Atari introduces to the home entertainment era. Between early concept schematics, development sketches, internal memos, developer commentary, photos, short films, and more, you’ll come out the other side a true Atari historian.
