A Bold Reunion: Atari and Namco Join Forces Again

Hold on to your joystick! Atari and Namco have officially rekindled their gaming love affair in a spectacular way. Following the recent announcement of a Namco-themed expansion for the groundbreaking Atari 50 interactive museum, the duo, alongside Plaion, has revealed a show-stopping reimagining of the Atari 2600+—the vibrant yellow Pac-Man edition!

Celebrating 45 Years of Pac-Man with a Colorful Twist

Originally launched in 2023, the Atari 2600+ was heralded as a "modern-day faithful recreation" of the beloved classic console from the 70s and 80s. Now, to honor Pac-Man's impressive 45th anniversary, this limited-edition version retains all the updated features like HDMI output and USB power, but kicks it up a notch in style with a striking "signature Pac-Man yellow" finish that replaces the traditional wooden look.

A Design That Stands Out in Any Room

This console isn't just a blast from the past—it's a dazzling piece of art! While the body beams in vibrant yellow, the playful design features Pac-Man and his ghostly friends making a fun appearance on the front. The contrasting black upper panel is livened up with a matching yellow cartridge slot and knobs, making it an eye-catching addition to your gaming setup.

More Than Just a Console: A Tribute to Gaming History

Plaion, the minds behind this nostalgic masterpiece, declare, "The Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition is more than just a console; it's a tribute to the moment home gaming truly began." By melding this iconic hardware with Pac-Man's unforgettable flair, they’re celebrating two titans of gaming who defined an era of play.
