Atari has been serving retro vibes for decades. Now, the company’s Atari 2600+ console is getting a new upgrade with a Pac-Man-themed video game console.
The Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition Console is bright yellow and features Pac-Man being chased by the ghosts — Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde — across the front of the console. The system is also upgraded for modern gaming, complete with HDMI output and backward and forward compatibility. The console comes with a yellow Pac-Man Joystick and the new Pac-Man: Double Feature 2-in-1 cartridge. The cartridge features the arcade-style version of the game, Pac-Man 7800, and the first home version of the game, Pac-Man 2600.

Along with the console, Atari is selling five wireless joysticks inspired by the Pac-Man ghosts and Pac-Man himself. You can buy these joysticks individually or in a bundle with all five. These are the perfect buy if you already have your own Atari 2600+ Console and are looking to add just a little bit more retro flair to your set up.
Preorder for the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition Console and the Ghost Edition Joysticks will start tomorrow, July 23. The console is expected to ship in October.
