Launch Trailer For The Atari 2600+ Console

Atari is making a big comeback with its new Atari 2600+ console and the classic gaming company has released a launch trailer showing off the console! Yes, this "modern-day faithful recreation" of the classic console is available to buy right now if you want it!

Atari was launched 46 years ago in 1977 and it was one of the first major modern home video game consoles. It was actually the first gaming console I ever owned when I was a kid. It was given to us by a family friend and they also gave us a ton of games!

The Atari 2600+ comes from Atari and publisher Plaion, and it comes with 10 of Atari's most famous games loaded onto one cartridge, including Adventure and Missile Command. You will also be able to play any Atari 2600 or 7800 game cartridges, so if you’ve got any of those packed away in the basement or attic, it’s time to bust them out!

The Console was designed using "modern technology" and includes the system's iconic CX40 joystick built with the same size and layout. The Atari 2600+ runs on USB power and connects to your screen with HDMI, and it supports multiple resolutions.

The Atari 2600+ can be ordered here for $130 USD, if you want one.

The ten games include:

  • Adventure

  • Combat

  • Dodge 'Em

  • Haunted House

  • Maze Craze

  • Missile Command

  • Realsports

  • Volleyball

  • Surround

  • Video Pinball

  • Yars' Revenge

Plaion and Atari are also launching a bundle that comes with the CX-30 paddle controller and a four-game bundle for $40. The games included in this bundle include Breakout, Canyon Bomber, Night Driver, and Video Olympics. What's more, Atari will sell a CX-40 standalone joystick for $35. Finally, Atari will offer Berzerk- Enhanced Edition and Mr. Run and Jump 2600 for $30 each.
