With Atari 50's The Wider World of Atari DLC now behind us, it's time to look head (while also looking back because, you know, history) to next week's The First Console War DLC, Atari having now revealed all 19 games coming to the acclaimed digital museum on 8th November.

The First Console War charts the rivalry between Atari and it's earliest major competitor, Mattel's Intellivision, through the late 70s and 1980s - a rivalry that officially came to a close this year, when Atari acquired the Intellivision brand and over 200 games from its portfolio.

It's a tale Atari 50 will tell across a brand-new in-game timeline and eight video segments detailing the challenges Intellivision posed to Atari's VCS. It'll feature interviews with the likes of M Network programmer Jane Terjung, Activision's David Crane and Garry Kitchen, video game historians Leonard Hermand and Mike Mika, and more. It'll also include 19 more playable retro games, which Atari has now detailed ahead of release:
