LEGO will be launching the Atari 2600 video game console set on Aug. 1, and it will be sold for $239.99. The Denmark-based plastic construction toys manufacturer is inciting nostalgia as it brings back the popular video game of the 1980s.
As per Fox Business, the Atari 2600 is arriving soon, but as LEGO set that will recreate the famous gaming console. The company is releasing its new set to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Atari, which has been, at one time, was called the most popular console of all time.
It was reported that the Atari VCS/2600 was first introduced in 1977, and it instantly became a big hit as soon as it was placed in the stores. LEGO designed a new block construction set based on the revised edition that was released in 1980.
“The Atari 2600 was one of the most memorable gifts I got as a kid. I recall spending hours and hours in front of the TV, absolutely amazed that I could play arcade games in my own home,” Chris McVeigh, the LEGO designer who made the Atari set, said in a press release.
He further stated, “There were so many legendary titles, too, including Asteroids, Adventure, and Centipede. This is why it has been such an incredible experience to bring two icons together, Atari and LEGO, in this awesome set.”
McVeigh is hoping that by building the new LEGO Atari 2600 classic console, people will be able to reminisce those “halcyon days when a handful of pixels meant a world of adventure.”
In any case, it was mentioned that McVeigh had been chosen to make the LEGO Atari 2500 because there is no other designer who is more perfect for the job. This is because he was revealed to be a lifelong fan of Atari.
Meanwhile, the LEGO Atari 2600 is composed of brick versions of three video game cartridges which are the “Centipede,” “Asteroids,” and “Adventure.” The set has 2,532 pieces of blocks, and the completed Atari console will measure three inches high and 13 inches wide.
