ATARI X Pacman Collection Reveals Limited Edition 2600+

ATARI love their collaborations, and this time they are teaming up with Bandai Namco to launch an Atari x PAC-MAN™ Collection featuring a wide range of new products.

To mark PAC-MAN's 45th anniversary since launching in arcades, the ATARI 2600+ now comes in a limited PAC-MAN colourway, including stylised Ghost Joysticks and an all-new PAC-MAN game for the console.

This new console comes in signature yellow, featuring character icons and illustrations across the front and is bundled with the 2-in-1 cartridge called PAC-MAN: Double Feature. Pre-orders start on the 23rd July at Plaion for $169.99.

The new 2-in-1 cartridge features PAC-MAN 7800, a brand new, arcade-style version of the classic that we all love, perfect for collectors and PAC-MAN enthusiasts. Secondly, you can also play PAC-MAN 2600, the very first home console release of the game.

You can also snag PAC-MAN edition CX40+ Wireless Joysticks too, in up to five different colours, each representing the iconic ghosts, Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde, plus a classic Yellow for the main man himself.

If that wasn't enough for you, ATARI are also releasing a collection of classics for the ATARI 7800, featuring Galaga, Dig DUg, Xevious and the all-new PAC-MAN Double Feature game.

Each comes packaged individually in exclusive collectors' packaging. This High Score Collection will cost $139.99, or you can snag normal editions separately for $34.99. The choice is yours!

Because the San Diego Comic-Con is coming up they've decided to go all in on the event and create 1,000 exclusive Golden Box Editions of PAC-MAN: Double Feature. Each $100 set includes the 2-in-1 cartridge in one of the five ghost colours (and yellow) with a limited edition patch or pin.

It's always fun to see what ATARI are up to, and I very much appreciate the continued love for the ATARI 2600+ console, it was a much-welcomed modern upgrade, and now that it comes in a rare edition, we may just have to keep an eye on it again!
