The Atari 50 collection will be enriched with the Namco Legendary Pack DLC, launching on 2023-11-13. This update introduces classic Bandai Namco games from the 1980s, offering both nostalgic gameplay and valuable historical context.
New Additions and Features
Included in the DLC are three Atari ports of Pac-Man, specifically the 2600, 5200, and Atari 8-bit versions, alongside arcade versions of Xevious and Dig Dug. Unique to this pack is the archival material that complements the games, featuring art, photos, and developer interviews, effectively transforming the collection into a comprehensive digital anthology.
Historical Significance
This marks the first official re-release of the Atari Pac-Man ports. The Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man is noteworthy, having sold millions despite its technical limitations compared to the arcade original. Its inclusion not only serves as nostalgic content but also highlights an important chapter in console history.
