Released in celebration of Atari’s 50th anniversary, this building set is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for anyone who grew up in the golden era of gaming.
The Atari 2600, launched in 1977, holds a special place in the hearts of gamers as one of the pioneering home video game consoles. Now, Lego brings this beloved console to life with meticulous attention to detail. The set includes not only a faithful replica of the Atari 2600 console but also a lifelike joystick that mirrors the real thing.
What sets this Lego set apart is its dedication to authenticity. Modeled after the four-switch revision of the console introduced in 1980, the set captures the essence of the Atari 2600, complete with a faux lacquered wood casing. But the nostalgia doesn’t stop there – miniature 3D recreations of classic Atari games like Asteroids, Centipede, and Adventure are also included, alongside their corresponding cartridges.
One of the standout features of the Lego Atari 2600 set is its attention to detail. Each game cartridge can be inserted into the console, which also features a secret compartment revealing a diorama of an ’80s-style games room. Additionally, the set comes with three smaller builds that recreate scenes from the iconic Atari games, adding depth and immersion to the overall experience.
For fans eager to get their hands on this piece of gaming history, the Lego Atari 2600 set is currently available for purchase.
