Ah, the good ol’ days of Atari, huh? I get this weird nostalgia kick every time I see their name. But anyway, here we are in 2025 — can you believe it? — and Atari still knows how to throw a sale bash on the Nintendo eShop. I guess they heard my wallet crying, because they put 30 games on sale. Not just any games, mind you. Classics, remasters, and some quirky stuff in between.
Mark your calendars, or perhaps just scribble it on a sticky note: this sale wraps up at exactly 11:59 p.m. PT on the 11th of May, 2025. Yeah, I double-checked it because I thought, “Why not play detective for a minute?”
And the lineup? Oh boy, it’s a trip down memory lane with some modern flavor. “Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration” catches my eye first. Can’t deny, there’s something comforting about the idea of revisiting that digital expanded edition — whatever that means. And there’s “Breakout Beyond,” plus this ridiculously fun sounding “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind.” Wait, is that a typo? No? Okay, moving on.
If you’ve got a soft spot for roller coasters (who doesn’t?), “RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic” is just sitting there, begging for some attention. Oh, and don’t even get me started on the “Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster.” It’s like throwing my childhood back at me with an HD upgrade.
Let’s get all tangled in this list, shall we?
– Akka Arrh — Looking at $5.99 now, usually $19.99. Like finding a sneaky discount lurking in the shadows.
– Asteroids: Recharged — A smidge at $3.49 from $9.99. Honestly, couldn’t recharge my nostalgia any cheaper.
– Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Digital Expanded Edition — What a mouthful. Dropped to $29.99, down from $49.99.
– Atari Flashback Classics — The classics, man… priced at $11.99 from a hefty $39.99.
– Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition — Just $2.49 now. A steal, right? Was $9.99.
And I’m just scratching the surface here. There’s “Bread & Fred” — who are these guys? All I know, $8.99 seems a bargain from $14.99. “Bubsy: Paws on Fire!” — sounds like a 2 a.m. impulse buy, but hey, it’s $4.99 instead of $24.99.
Rolling along, “Centipede: Recharged” — give ‘em a crunch for $3.49, usually $9.99. I’m flipping metaphorical pages and there’s “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.” Darkest title on my shopping list at $7.99 from $9.99. No joke, that title alone has me shivering.
The oddities just keep coming. “Lunar Lander Beyond” took a nosedive to $16.49 from $29.99. I laughed at “PO’ed: Definitive Edition” — at $10.99 now from $19.99, which is honestly more fun to say than admit I bought it.
“RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe” cozied down to $19.99 from $39.99. Can’t argue with a classic thrill ride getting cheaper. And “The Thing: Remastered” is haunting its way at $22.49, marked down from $29.99.
There’s more in this rabbit hole, but I think I lost count somewhere around “Turok Trilogy Bundle” — only $14.99 now, from a wild $59.99. Retro-tastic, right?
Well, that’s it. More or less. If you’re itching for some digital joyrides or just want to revisit the ‘90s, now’s your chance. Or wait, was it the ‘80s? Meh, time’s a blur. So, spend (or don’t), just don’t say I didn’t tip you off.
