Four new games are coming to the Atari 2600+ and 7800+ later this year, with licensed arcade classics Galaga, Pac-Man Double Feature, Dig Dug, and Xevious launching on 21st November. The games are physical releases, and run on the Atari 2600+, Atari 7800+, and the original Atari 7800.
All four games are from 1982, considered a pivotal moment in gaming history, and these cartridges — as authentic as you can get with modern tech — allow gaming fans to relive the tactile pleasure of physical media.
Here’s the trailer:

So, which versions of these games are you getting? These are officially licensed Bandai Namco editions, and with the Pac-Man title, you get two for the price of one!
GALAGA – Alien Swarm Attack!
Defend your starfighter against endless waves of alien attackers in one of the greatest arcade shooters of all time. Rescue captured ships, unleash dual-fighter firepower, and prove yourself in a timeless battle for the high score.
PAC-MAN Double Feature – Two Games. One Legend.
The world’s most famous maze-chaser returns in a special double feature: the classic Atari 2600 release alongside the upgraded Atari 7800 edition. Outsmart Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde in two definitive versions of PAC-MAN.
Dig Dug – Dig Deep. Pump Fast!
Grab your pump and tunnel underground in Namco’s quirky action-puzzler. Trap enemies, inflate them until they pop, or crush them with rocks in a unique blend of strategy and arcade action.
Xevious – Blast the Sky. Bomb the Earth.
Pilot the Solvalou fighter in one of the most influential vertical shooters ever made. Master dual attacks – lasers for airborne enemies, bombs for ground targets, and uncover hidden secrets as you battle for humanity’s survival.
“These games aren’t just nostalgic releases, they’re cultural touchstones,” said Ben Jones, Commercial Director of PLAION REPLAI. “With GALAGA as our flagship, and PAC-MAN, Dig Dug, and Xevious completing the set, we’re celebrating 1982 as the year that defined the golden age of arcades. We want fans old and new to unlock that moment in time and experience it all over again on Atari consoles.”
