According to a German LEGO fan site, the Atari 2600 – with its wood paneling, super-funky late 1970s style – will receive a LEGO kit this August to mark the machine's 40th/45th anniversary.
According to Promobricks, the LEGO set will include a buildable Atari 2600 that includes pitfall, a groundbreaking game for auto-vision. " scene. Activision's Pitfall! is the first third-party game in the history of video games.
《Pitfall！ It was launched in 1982, the same year Atari renamed the VCS console 2600 (therefore, it can be considered the 40th anniversary of the machine). However, the aircraft was first introduced in 1977 (so it can also be considered the 45th anniversary).
Promobricks thinks Pitfall! The scene should be movable. Back in 2020, LEGO unveiled a kit to commemorate the Nintendo NES, which included an almost 1:1 size console, a Super Mario Bros. game scene, and a cute wooden-legged little TV with analog knobs and rabbit ear antennas.
Once assembled, players can scroll through the first level of Mario by turning the crank on the side of the TV. Promobricks speculates that the Atari 2600 kit will have a similar mechanism design.
Promobricks said the LEGO Gadali 2600 is numbered 10306 and sells for $199.99. Interestingly, this price is about $10 higher than the original retail price of the Atari 2600 when it was launched in 1977. Of course, due to changes in purchasing power, $189.95 that year was roughly equal to $900 today.
