Atari has just announced pre-orders for a cartridge of the company's once-popular 2600 console.
A game console that saw its most successful year in 1982 is releasing a new cartridge in the year 2023.
The game is called Save Mary and was developed during the console's golden years, before being shelved when sales of the 2600 plummeted. Save Mary was in development for two whole years, which is a lifetime in the gaming generation that preceded it of the NES.
The normal time frame to produce a game back then was six to nine months, with some notorious titles being developed in just five or six weeks.
Save Mary was originally developed by Atari veteran Tod Frye, the guy behind the 2600 version of Pac-Man and the Swordquest series.
The game-cassette Save Mary – Limited Edition is released on the company's site and costs $59.99.
