The Atari company was officially established on June 27, 1972, and therefore celebrates its 50th anniversary this week. For this occasion, many events have been announced, such as the launch of a logo to celebrate this half-century, and now, a compilation called Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, which will not only pile up the past games.
The compilation will include 90 retro games, but most importantly, Interactive Timelines, taking us on a journey through the publisher’s history through “interviews with designers, developers and industry leaders, documentary footage, product design documents, and original high-resolution artwork.” Additionally, more than 60 minutes of interviews with prominent designers like Cliff Bleszinski have been recorded for the occasion.
The Digital Eclipse created experience will include titles from multiple platforms, including arcade terminals, 8-bit computers, and the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Lynx and Jaguar. In addition, it will definitely include a few Reimagined-stamped exclusives (along the lines of the Recharged versions of Breakout, Gravitar, Asteroids, Black Widow, Centipede and Missile Command).
