Atari launches 39-game Activision cartridge collection, Ultimate Deluxe edition priced at $999.96
↗
Atari and Activision released the Atari x Activision Collection, a set of 39 classic games on physical cartridges with individual units starting at $34.98 and a full Ultimate Deluxe bundle costing $999.96.
The release shows a rare commitment to new physical media in a market where major manufacturers are moving away from cartridges, giving collectors and retro-gaming developers a tangible product to work with. Engineers building for Atari hardware must account for compatibility across the original 2600 and 7800 consoles as well as the newer 2600+ and 7800+ revisions, while also weighing the high upfront cost of the full set against buying single titles.
