Digital Eclipse’s unprecedentedly excellent retro archive Atari 50 is expanding yet again later this year, with a Namco update.
This DLC – which will include various playable versions of Pac-Man, Galaga, Xevious, and Dig Dug – will be available later in the year, and will come with new behind-the-scenes footage.
Here’s what the video blurb has to say:

“Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is being expanded with The Namco Legendary Pack, featuring an all-new interactive timeline and set of games exploring the history of Bandai Namco titles on Atari hardware. Includes multiple versions of Atari Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig Dug, and Xevious, along with video interviews, archival materials, documents, and photos from the era.”
In loosely related news, Atari has also announced a Pac-Man version of its Atari 2600+ system, which runs both Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 games, with HDMI output. You can read a little more about the system, which is due out on 31st October, through here.
