Overview

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is a classic game compilation developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Atari for the PlayStation 5 (Platform), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One (Platform), PlayStation 4 (Platform), Nintendo Switch (Platform), Atari VCS (Platform), and PC (Platform) on November 11, 2022.

Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Atari (Company) game company, Atari 50 contains emulation of 25 of Atari's arcade games, as well as emulation of over 70 of their games (along with some homebrew games) from across six of their game consoles (Atari 2600 (Platform), Atari 5200 (Platform), Atari 7800 (Platform), Atari Lynx (Platform), Atari 800, and Atari Jaguar), a digitized recreation of the 1979 handheld game Touch Me, and six new games developed by Digital Eclipse. It also features an interactive timeline that details the history of Atari and their products, with bonus content and exclusive video features.

The game later received multiple DLC expansions, adding new interactive timelines with additional games, interviews, and other bonus content.

Base Game Library

Reimagined

Each of these games were developed by Digital Eclipse themselves.

Haunted Houses - A 3D third-person survivor-horror game based on Haunted House (Game).
Neo Breakout - A tribute to the Breakout (Franchise) series. Along with the stage-based "Breakout" mode, it also includes a head-to-head mode, known as "Battle Breakout".

Swordquest: AirWorld - The lost fourth game in the Swordquest quadrilogy, based on design concepts from series creator Tod Frye (Person) and done in the style of the original games.
Touch Me - A digital reproduction of the 1979 LED handheld game of the same name.
VCTR-SCTR - A tribute to Atari's vector-graphics arcade games, switching between recreations of four games (Asteroids (Game), Lunar Lander (Game), Battlezone (Game), and Tempest (Game)) as each stage progresses.
