Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is an interactive journey through 50 years of video games, and of course, more than 100 playable games. Atari is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and with it the spark that launched the modern video game industry. It has been five decades since a small team in Silicon Valley combined their creativity, curiosity, and passion into making video games and hardware. The result of their efforts was Atari, one of the most recognisable and enduring entertainment and pop culture brands in the world. At the heart of the 50th anniversary collection is a curated list of over 100 games that span seven different hardware platforms – a true feat of emulation by the team at Digital Eclipse. Behind every game are the stories of Atari, what was happening at the company, what went into the creation of the games and the hardware they ran on told by the people who were there. It is a rare opportunity to get a rich, behind the scenes look at the history of video games. 100+ classic games lovingly presented with best-in-class emulation and modern quality-of-life enhancements – and the ability to play classic games that have not been available for ages. Discover the brand that launched the modern video game industry and the creative individuals behind it through interviews, archival images, special source material and behind-the-scenes content within an interactive timeline.
