Atari turns 50 this year, and the brand's current owner plans to celebrate with a collection that brings together games from five decades . The aptly named Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration will include more than 90 titles spanning the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800 ST, Jaguar, and Lynx.
The collection covers six consoles, from the Atari 2600 to the Jaguar and Lynx.
Additionally, Atari 50 hired Digital Eclipse, a studio best known for its work on The Disney Afternoon Collection and the Street Fighter 30thAnniversary Collection, to oversee the project.
"When it comes to emulating or restoring classics or doing any kind of remastering or reimagining, I don't know if there's anyone who does it better than Digital Eclipse, so they've always been our first choice," Atari CEO Wade Rosen told Game Informer
Atari hasn't yet released a full list of games that will appear in the collection, but in addition to many classics, the collection will also include six new retro-inspired games. One of them is the sequel to Haunted House , which was released in 1981 for the Atari 2600. Haunted Houses will feature modern 3D voxel-based graphics and new levels for players to explore. Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration will cost $40 when it releases later this year for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC , and Atari VCS.
