The next stage of Atari's 50th anniversary celebration has been announced, as the company has opened preorders on a limited supply of complete sets of the 50th Anniversary Atari XP collectible cartridges that were originally released last June.

The 50th Anniversary Atari XP collectible cartridge box set will run $1000 per set, with only 100 units available for preorder. Each cartridge comes in a specially designed box made just for the box set, with the full Atari 50 logo visible on the spines when all 10 game boxes are lined up together.

  • Adventure
  • Asteroids
  • Centipede
  • Crystal Castles
  • Gravitar
  • Haunted House
  • Missile Command
  • Super Breakout
  • Warlords
  • Yars’ Revenge

Each of the 10 games features remastered artwork on the labels, a custom stand for displaying the games out of the box, a collectible pin, and a collectible patch. Each pin and patch features a design based on whichever game they are packaged with.

The playable Atari 50th Anniversary Collection from Digital Eclipse launched in November to critical acclaim, with the game currently averaging an 89 on Metacritic.
