The First New Atari Game on a 2600 Cartridge in 32 Years

We're excited to share that the original Mr. Run and Jump will be available along side the modern version! The 2600 game is a simple yet challenging 2D platformer. While this limited edition version was built to run on old hardware, Mr. Run and Jump 2600 is a brand-new game designed to be approachable to all players. Leap, the dog, has begun wandering toward the Dark Realm, and if he ventures too far, hell never be able to find his way back! Its up to Mr. Run and Jump to save his best friend before its too late! Made in the United States with high-quality materials, each Mr. Run and Jump cartridge comes sealed with a high-quality box, a 2600 game cartridge, and an instruction manual. 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. Preorders for the collectible cartridges will open on atari.com on July 31, 2023, for $59.99. Additional distribution will be announced at a later date. Sign up now to be the first to know when pre-orders open. Fans are excited and we are too! Read more coverage about this release:
