Atari Mania will only have a standard release – no special edition. However, a bundle is planned that includes the original CD soundtrack.

Here’s some information about the game:

A wild journey through videogame history, Atari Mania is a microgame collection wrapped in a hilarious retro-driven narrative of exploration and surprise.

You play as the Caretaker of the Atari Vault, the storehouse of classic Atari games. One night, a dead pixel appears and soon enough, all heck breaks loose!!

Familiar and beloved games begin to warp, mutate and combine into a series of increasingly crazy challenges. It’s up to you to fight back the pixels and other surprising villains, and restore order to the Vault!

• Pixel-Perfect Style – A charming neo-retro art update to the classic Atari 2600 style.
