Atari is coming out hot off the heels of their 2600+ announcement with a limited edition cartridge for the 2600 in the classic game Outlaw. The game features new key art by Brazilian pop culture artist Butcher Billy. The game comes with a color user manual that features commentary from Butcher Billy, known for his work on the Netflix series Stranger Things social media promotional material, on his unique interpretation of the Outlaw key art, arrives in the distinctive silver box and the cartridge has the silver cartridge label.
This is based on the 1976 single-player arcade game, the 2600 version of Outlaw added two-player gameplay, making it a favorite in millions of households as players competed in high-stakes duels to see who was the best gunslinger in the family or neighborhood. The 2600 port of Outlaw, developed by Atari programmer and Activision co-founder David Crane, has 16 different game variations, including one and two-player modes, unlimited fire or the more wild-west realistic six-shooter options and even a getaway option.
Atari XP cartridges are manufactured to exacting standards from all new parts and materials, with beveled edges to prevent pin damage, strong gold-plated connectors and identical power draw to the originals. Outlaw is the first title to kick off the new Atari XP Silver Box Series. Preorders are available now over at Atari’s website and are exclusive to the United States. The game is expected to ship in 3 to 4 months. What do you think about the first game in Atari’s new XP Silver Box Series? Will you be preordering the Atari 2600 Outlaw?
