Games List Revealed for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration's 'First Console War' DLC

The second Atari 50 DLC pack will add 19 games, and it's coming in early November.

Earlier this year, Digital Eclipse and Atari announced two DLC expansions for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, the comprehensive collection of Atari games and documentary content. The first DLC, "The Wilder World of Atari," arrived at the end of September. The second DLC, "The First Console War," will launch on November 8. It promises 19 new games and lots of behind-the-scenes materials, though we don't expect any of the new games to feature co-op multiplayer.

"The First Console War" will add the following games to Atari 50:

  1. Air Raiders - 2600 M Network
  2. Antbear - 2600 M Network (unreleased, based on Stern IP)
  3. Armor Ambush - 2600 M Network
  4. Astroblast - 2600 M Network
  5. Frogs & Flies - 2600 M Network
  6. International Soccer - 2600 M Network
  7. Dark Cavern - 2600 M Network
  8. Star Strike - 2600 M Network
  9. Super Challenge Baseball - 2600 M Network
  10. Super Challenge Football - 2600 M Network
  11. Swordfight - 2600 M Network (rare, unreleased)
  12. Sea Battle - 2600 M Network (rare, unreleased)
  13. Tower of Mystery (unreleased prototype, recently rescued)
  14. Video Pinball - 2600
  15. Basketball - 2600
  16. Hardball - Atari 8-bit (XE)
  17. Final Legacy (prototype) - 5200
  18. Xari Arena - Atari 8-bit

  • A brand-new timeline explaining the challenge to Atari’s VCS by Mattel’s Intellivision–the first major rivalry in console games
