It's time to dust off your old Atari cartridges as the company again tries to tap into gaming nostalgia with an updated version of its iconic Atari 2600. The upcoming Plus model has the same look as the 80s classic, and will ship with a 10-in-1 cartridge but also supports legacy 2600 and 7800 game cartridges.

The Atari 2600 Plus is the result of a partnership with game developer Plaion, and the console shapes up at 80% of the size of the original, and has been designed to resemble the four-switch model released in 1980.

"For gamers who remember the thrill of playing arcade games at home for the very first time, the Atari 2600+ will take you right back," said Plaion's Ben Jones. "For everyone else, the offer is one of timeless fun and the chance to experience a golden age of video games in a way that could only come from Atari."

The Atari 2600 Plus is up for pre-order now at US$129.99, with the worldwide launch pegged for November 17.
