Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration trailer shows the new games
Atari issued a new featurette trailer for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration that teases six brand new games that were made for the package.
Aside from emulating the beloved original games included in the collection, Digital Eclipse also created six completely new games inspired by the classics of decades past. Swordquest: AirWorld is particularly noteworthy since it’s the missing, last installment in the four-game Swordquest series that fans can finally finish 40 years later.
