Atari recently confirmed the games included in the Atari Vault, a free bundle of classic arcade titles that come with the new Atari VCS system.

Atari is baking in lots of extra nostalgic value in its new VCS console, and will include a huge library of old-school arcade classics for free. Anyone who buys the VCS can relive those old late 70s and early 80s glory days of arcade and console gaming with titles like Asteroids, Centipede, Lunar Lander, Missile Command, and Pong. Even the Sword Quest games show up.

The idea here is to capture those old memories and faithfully recreate them on a new modern console with an upgraded joystick--complete with rumble feedback, LEDs, and more.

Atari will sell a $5 Atari Vault 2 bundle that includes Atari 5200 games. The VCS connects to an online digital storefront that peddles both Atari classics and newer titles. Don't expect to see big AAA games on the list. The Atari VCS isn't super powerful, but it can run bigger games at limited perf, and can boot up Windows apps like Steam.

Instead, the VCS will mostly sell smaller games and indies that cap out at $25 a pop.

The Atari VCS releases sometime 2020 for Indiegogo backers, and then other consumers later. There will be two versions: $249 for the 4GB model, and $279 for the 8GB model.
