Atari 50 Extended Edition expands on Atari's legacy

Somewhat ironically, I got told off by Digital Eclipse last year about talking up the idea of Atari 50 DLC before it was officially announced. Now, the developer and Atari 50 (review) are doing so well, that we're getting a new version (available as even more DLC for existing owners) with 39 new games for acolytes of the once-galant brand. 

Arriving in October, Atari 50 EE gets a physical release on Switch and PlayStation 5, with a whole new mix of video and editorial content alongside the games, presented in the impressive format that Digital Eclipse has mastered for the likes of the Jeff Minter Llamasoft story. 

No news on the games or platforms yet, although it'd be great to see more from the Lynx and Jaguar, and *cough* Activision titles, but we live in hope. The themes for the new encyclopedia strands are The Wider World of Atari and The First Console War. This approach to education and information makes Atari 50 more interesting than just ramming a fistful of games and art into a package and calling it a collection. 

Of course, it'd be rude not to mention the upcoming Atari Super Pocket with 50 games and access to the complete Evercade library in the most portable format in gaming.
