Atari and Numskull Games have announced the upcoming physical release of Mr. Run and Jump and Kombinera, which will be a 2-in-1 'Adrenaline Pack'.
Launching February 23rd, 2024, the dual pack will also contain a unique postcard based on the games, along with an exclusive sticker celebrating the Atari brand. Both games included in the pack were developed by Graphite Lab and received positive critical reception upon their respective releases.
Here's some more info on the games included:
Mr. Run and Jump - One of the most exciting 2D platformers we’ve played in years! Help Mr. Run and Jump, joined by his trusty pal Leap the Dog, defeat the terrifying Void and collect all the Power Gems from the Realms of Color! Venture through a dazzling and dangerous world, dodging countless enemies and conquering hundreds of fierce platforming challenges to save the day!
Kombinera - A critically acclaimed puzzle platformer! It’s up to you to combine every ball and complete each perilous level. The brightly-coloured balls move in unison, requiring creative problem solving and a well thought-out plan. The game gets devilishly hard as you progress through all 300 levels.
In addition to the 'Adrenaline Pack' release, Atari and Numskull Games are also releasing physical editions of Akka Arrh, launching March 8th, 2024, and the micro minigame fuelled Atari Mania, launching March 15th, 2024.
An ongoing partnership between Numskull and Atari promises more physical releases throughout 2024, so keep an eye out for those.

It's not Limited Run!
>Atari Mania is getting re-printed after you got the Limited run version anyway
FUDGE PICKLES!
It's also weird that Akka Arrh is getting a release on it's own. I get that it's not technically part of the Recharged line, cause the origianl never actaully released until Atari 50, but it's about as substantial as those, and they're all dual-packing it at LRG.
What are these games? Are they part of the Atari "remaster" series or are they brand new games?
@MarioBrickLayer They're new games. Mr. Run and Jump has also been 'demade' for the Atari 2600.
@Zeebor15 Wait, isn't that a good thing that Atari Mania is getting a normal release that isn't from those A-holes at Limited Run?
@EVIL-C
Your grammar is a little confusing to me, but yes? LRG did a Switch version of Atari Mania, and are currently taking orders for their own PS5 version. To be fair to them, Atari Mania is one of the games they made a resonable amount of. You can still get it through their Amazon store at time of writting, but it doesn't come with Nintendo points. Only LRG's BB Wayforward gets Nintendo points with them.
I'm not a physical guy, but man...these are excellent games. I'm glad more people are going to get to play them! This is great news.
I like Kobinera. Solid Atari game.
@Zeebor15 Your grammar was confusing to me, that's why I was asking. Akka Arrh I'm not familiar with at all.
The Best Buy stuff is irrelevant to me since you're talking talking about the deal they have with Best Buy in the US. And AFAIK, their Amazon store would charge me US shipping. Please note my 🍁 avatar image. 😋
@EVIL-C I'm still confused... I gave up on LRG's best buy deal awhile ago cause it got very hit or miss for me. Akka Arrh is a game that was completed, but never got past the naming stage. Yes, back in the 70's they made the game first, and then let marketting decide what to call it later. The Prototype was dug out by Digital Eclipse for Atari 50, but as part of that the current Atari reached out to all the old devs. Akka Arrh's creator, Jeff Minter is still making games, so he asked if he could go back and finish it. And now it looks... like a Jeff Minter game.
Very trippy.
@Zeebor15 The Best Buy/LRG partnership thing is or was sold through the US only. Notice my avatar? I'm from Canada 🍁, so I never took advantage of it. LRG titles weren't sold in CDN Best buy stores, or on the CDN website.
That's cool about Akka Arrh. I love seeing old, lost projects finally get completed and released. 🥹 It reminds me of how Airworld was also finished and included in Atari 50. I must get around to playing that compilation.
Too bad it's just as obtuse and nonsensical as the rest of the Swordquest series, though process of elimination dictates that EVENTUALLY Atari will have to remake Swordquest eventually. Hopefully all as one game. And with backgrounds!
