The Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition boasts modern upgrades such as HDMI output, USB power, and multiple screen resolutions, while maintaining its nostalgic design aesthetic. The console includes a Pac-Man-themed front panel with illuminated chomper and ghost designs, making it a unique tribute to the moment home gaming began.
Priced at £129.99, the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition comes with one CX-40 wireless joystick, as well as a Pac-Man Double Feature cartridge featuring both classic Pac-Man versions on the 2600 and 7800 consoles.

Additionally, Plaion will release blue, red, pink, and orange themed Xbox-style wireless joysticks to complement the yellow edition, allowing fans to personalize their gaming experience. The Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition is set to be released on July 23rd and can be pre-ordered from that date.
