Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is a fascinating journey through the
history of Atari, but that timeline couldn't be truly rounded without the
inclusion of some Namco classics like Pac-Man and Galaga. To remedy that,
Atari and developer Digital Eclipse are releasing another paid expansion for
the retro collection. ItΓÇÖs called The Namco Legendary Pack and it will be
available on November 13 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo
Switch and Steam for $8.

The DLC adds a new interactive timeline that will take you through the
history of Namco games on Atari systems, with the help of video interviews
with developers and archival materials including photos and other documents.
The expansion features versions of Pac-Man for Atari 2600, Atari 5200 and
Atari 8-bit. Pac-Man was the best-selling game on Atari 2600, but it's safe
to say that version doesn't exactly hold up.

The Namco Legendary Pack also includes the US arcade versions of Dig Dug and
Xevius. In addition, youΓÇÖll get home console versions of those two games,
Galaga and Galaxian.

The DLC will make Atari 50 even more of a comprehensive overview of the
company's history. An expansion that arrived last November charted the
rivalry between Atari and Intellivision, aka the first console war. Atari
finally brought that to a decisive end when it bought the Intellivision brand
last year.
