The Atari x Activision Collection brings 39 classic Activision titles back to life on physical cartridges, giving retro enthusiasts and newcomers a chance to own and replay the games that defined early console gaming. Individual cartridges start at EUR 30, while the complete Ultimate Deluxe Set tops out at EUR 857 for buyers who want every title in one package.
The release lands at a moment when major manufacturers such as Sony are steadily moving away from physical media. For collectors, the appeal often extends beyond the cartridge itself to extras like custom artwork and packaging, and this lineup leans into that tradition.
Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate Deluxe Options
A select group of titles will ship as Standard Editions priced at EUR 30 each. These include Pitfall!, River Raid, MegaMania, Enduro, Kaboom!, H.E.R.O., Keystone Kapers, Private Eye, Pressure Cooker, River Raid II, The Activision Decathlon, and Pitfall II: Lost Caverns. Each ships in a black cartridge with a newly designed, full-color manual.
The Deluxe Edition retails for EUR 214 and arrives in four themed collections: Treasure, Speed, Secrets, and Victory. Each set holds 10 games, with one containing nine. Deluxe cartridges feature vibrant, colorful shells and come bundled with 10 woven patches, 10 enamel pins, and a collector slipcase to store the games.
The Ultimate Deluxe Set, priced at EUR 857, packages all 39 titles by combining the contents of all four Deluxe Sets. It builds on everything in the Deluxe Edition and adds 12 exclusive metal trading cards plus a collectible item that has not yet been announced.
Release Schedule and Included Titles
The four Deluxe collections roll out over more than a year. The Treasure Collection launches in November 2026 with 10 games: Pitfall!, River Raid, MegaMania, Dragster, Freeway, Grand Prix, Chopper Command, Sky Jinks, Barnstorming, and Dolphin.
