Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is more than a collection of games spanning the entirety of Atari's history. Nor is it a collection of some of the first arcade games and console titles that helped define a new medium. It's an interactive museum, a celebration, and a slice of history to savour.

A snippet.

Spanning 50 years of history, Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration even includes playable games from Atari’s long-forgotten ‘90s console the Jaguar, as well as the handheld Atari Lynx. Which was the hardware and game maker’s attempt to compete with the Nintendo Game Boy. There are even games from the early days of the Personal Computer in the 1980s. All of this, for lack of a better term, content, is found in-between video interviews, mini-documentaries, concept art, advertisements, photos, and more.

Developer Digital Eclipse, who’s no stranger to the retro collection and has put together great packs for Konami covering the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games and even Blizzard’s early days in PC gaming, has raised the bar here. Like the best sort of museum exhibit, albeit with full interactivity on account of being able to read and hear about a game and then fire it up for yourself.
