LEGO has launched the new LEGO Atari 2600 set, a nostalgic recreation of one of the most famous video game consoles of all time. The iconic Atari VCS/2600 was an instant hit when introduced in 1977 and the new LEGO set is based on the four-switch revision which debuted in 1980.
The release of the new LEGO set also comes in celebration of Atari’s 50th anniversary. It includes features such as the controller with a joystick that moves to feel just like the original and a pop-up scene from an 80’s gaming room.
The set also includes three video game cartridges of iconic Atari games in brick format: Asteroids, Adventure and Centipede. The cartridges can be stored in a case and built into mini versions of the games. In addition, the console includes a switch to select whether you have a colour or black and white television.
