Whenever you see a project spearheaded or attached with Mike Mika’s name on it, you will likely experience a respectful translation of beloved property to our new medium. Many believe that was the case when it came to the release of the MediEvil remake for PlayStation just a few years back. And even more with the more recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection this summer.

As for where the firm presses onward, Digital Eclipse earlier on in October 2021 shared it received a 10+ million crowdfunded stimulus to emphasize on its own initiative to create more legacy compilation titles in the future. A byproduct of this was the already aforementioned arcade bundle published by Konami for example.

Another is the upcoming Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration which launches today. Partnering with Atari offers an authentic reflection on the foundation for the overall industry with beloved titles from Atari, Jaguar and Lynx hardware including rare releases also. You can watch the official trailer in the video below:

“Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration takes players on an interactive journey through 50 years of video games, including a specially-curated list of more than 100 playable classics and six entirely new titles from the award-winning team at Digital Eclipse,” the description for the game reads on Atari’s official website.

“At the heart of The Anniversary Celebration are Interactive Timelines, which combine trivia, all-new interviews with the original developers and industry leaders, and playable games into one singular experience. Play extremely rare titles from the Atari Jaguar and Lynx platforms, 8-bit computers and 7800, 5200 and 2600 consoles.”

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is out now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
