    For those who grew up in the 80s, spending hours playing Missile Command, Adventure, Asteroids, and many more on the Atari 2600, Plaion and Atari have something special for you. They want you to relive those days and are introducing the Atari 2600+. This recreation of the original Atari 2600 allows you to play your old Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 cartridges that have been released over the past 50 years. The Atari 2600+ comes with a CX40+ joystick controller, which has also been faithfully recreated to resemble the original controller. The CX40+ maintains the same size and layout as the original, adding even more nostalgia to the experience.

    The Atari 2600+ will be shipped with a 10-in-1 cartridge that will include the following games.

    • Adventure
    • Combat
    • Dodge ‘Em
    • Haunted House
    • Maze Craze
    • Missile Command
    • Realsports Volleyball
    • Surround
    • Video Pinball
    • Yar’s Revenge

    The Atari 2600+ will release worldwide 17th November 2023 and is available to pre-order for $129,99 (€119,99 / £99,99)

    Additional info by Atari and Plaion

    “Preserving classic games is a priority for Atari, and the release of the Atari 2600+ will make the hundreds of Atari 2600 and 7800 games that have been released over the last 50 years universally accessible,” said Atari Chairman and CEO, Wade Rosen. “PLAION’s approach to a quality recreation of iconic Atari hardware made them the perfect partner to bring the Atari 2600+ to market.”

    “We’re excited to be working with Atari to bring back the Atari 2600 and help meet the growing consumer demand for retro hardware,” said Commercial Director of Retro at PLAION, Ben Jones. “For gamers who remember the thrill of playing arcade games at home for the very first time, the Atari 2600+ will take you right back. For everyone else, the offer is one of timeless fun and the chance to experience a golden age of video games in a way that could only come from Atari.”


    Key features include:

    • BUILDING ON THE LEGACY: The new Atari 2600+ builds on the original machine with modern quality of life features such as HDMI output, USB power and multiple screen resolutions and includes a faithful replica of the original CX40+ Joystick.
    • GO BACK IN TIME: The cartridge slot is backwards compatible with hundreds of original Atari 2600 and 7800 games. The Atari 2600+ launches with a 10 Games in 1 Cartridge which includes iconic games such as Adventure®, Combat®, Dodge ‘Em™, Haunted House®, Maze Craze™, Missile Command®, Realsports® Volleyball, Surround™, Video Pinball™, Yars’ Revenge®
    • LOOK AND FEEL OF THE 1980’s: The Atari 2600+ has been lovingly crafted using modern technology from the movement of the joystick to the feel of the metal switches to the authentic woodgrain front panel.

    PLAION and Atari also announce the availability of The CX-30 Paddle Controller with 4-in-1 multi game cartridge that will retail for $39.99 (€34.99 / £29.99). A standalone CX-40 Joystick will retail for $24.99 (€22.99 / £19.99). Additional launch titles, including cartridges for Berzerk Enhanced Edition and Mr. Run and Jump, will also be available for The Atari 2600+ for $29.99 (€29.99 / £24.99). The Atari 2600+ will be available at Atari.com for North American customers and worldwide at major retailers for $129.99 (€119.99 / £99.99) from 17th November 2023.

    Metroidvania's, soulslike or any game that calls for self-flagellation is what this dutch guy loves. How harder and relentless the game is, the more joy he gets out of it. But don't tell anyone he likes some easy games as well.
