Atari x Activision Collection

The Atari x Activision Collection brings together games that pushed the Atari 2600 in new directions – from the sprawling jungle exploration of Pitfall! and aerial combat of River Raid to the fast-paced action of Kaboom! and H.E.R.O. The collection gives players a chance to revisit the games and design ideas that made these titles stand out on the Atari 2600.

Individual Cartridges

Atari is offering individual Standard Edition cartridges for 12 popular legacy Activision titles, including Pitfall!, River Raid, Megamania, Enduro, Kaboom!, H.E.R.O., Pressure Cooker, Private Eye, River Raid II, Keystone Kapers, The Activision Decathlon and Pitfall II: Lost Caverns. The Activision Decathlon and Pitfall II: Lost Caverns will ship at a later date than the other titles. Each Standard Edition features packaging and a printed color manual inspired by the original releases and is designed for compatibility with Atari 2600+ and Atari 7800+ consoles, as well as original Atari 2600 and 7800 hardware.
