atari 50: the wider world of atari

Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is a 2022 video game compilation and interactive documentary developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Atari to commemorate the company's 50th anniversary. It is composed of newly shot interviews with former Atari employees, archival footage, emulated games from the company's catalog, and six new games inspired by various Atari games. It was released for Atari VCS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on November 11, 2022.
The game is presented as a five-part interactive timeline that lays out the history of the company and its products through video, scanned artifacts and related games. It received generally favorable reviews, with critics comparing it favorably to a museum or traditional documentary. They praised its thoroughness and hoped other developers would receive a similar treatment.
Since its release, Digital Eclipse has added additional games as free updates and paid downloadable content, later compiled into a forthcoming expanded release, Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Expanded Edition. The success of the game led Digital Eclipse to develop additional documentary-style game compilations, known as the Gold Master Series.
