Atari and developer Digital Eclipse are proud to present a significant expansion of their acclaimed 2022 release, Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration. This new version, entitled "Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration – Expanded Edition", includes the original version and adds two new timelines and 39 games to Atari's playable retrospective.

The Atari's Wider World timeline, which includes 19 playable games and eight video segments, delves deeply into stories from Atari's history, showcasing how Atari continued to influence creators and fans over the decades. New interviews, vintage advertisements, historical artefacts and more have been researched and presented in Digital Eclipse's distinctive style. Highlights of the new timeline include an in-depth look at Stern Electronics' Berzerk, a game about destructive robots; unusual and underrated innovations and hidden gems from the late 1980s; a spotlight on artist Evelyn Seto, who helped create Atari's iconic "Fuji" logo; Al Alcorn, creator of Pong, explaining the birth of Breakout; and an exploration of the role of the fanbase in discovering unreleased prototypes, creating "homebrew" games and preserving Atari's history.

The First Console War timeline, which includes 20 playable games and half a dozen video segments, tells the story of the first major console war in the video game industry between the Atari 2600 and Mattel's Intellivision. The Digital Eclipse team curates an exploration of the rivalry, including Mattel's quixotic decision to create games for competitor Atari 2600. Highlights include a selection of M Network games, including some fan favourites; a mix of Atari and M Network sports games, and some rare Atari 2600 and 5200 prototypes. New interview features include former Intellivision game director Don Daglow, M Network programmer Jane Terjung, Activision's David Crane and Garry Kitchen, homebrew programmer Dennis Debro, and historians Leonard Herman and Mike Mika.
