If you're one of those types who loves the great outdoors, and in particular abandoning your nice warm bed, rain-preventing roof, comfy sofa, and fully working kitchen complete with fridge and cooker for the great outdoors, then... Well, I don't know what to tell you... Except that camping equipment specialists OLPRO have teamed with veteran game makers Atari for a new line of branded products.
"We’re incredibly excited to bring Atari into the OLPRO world", said OLPRO MD Daniel Walton. "Atari is such an iconic brand, and combining its heritage with our outdoor products has given us the opportunity to create something genuinely different. We think the collection will appeal to a wide audience, from lifelong Atari fans to a new generation of outdoor enthusiasts."
The Atari x OLPRO range, open for pre-orders today, features a selection of padded folding chairs and aluminium tables, along with backpacks, windbreaks, and thermal blankets, all emblazoned with Atari's golden age branding, including the iconic logo as well as the spectrum of coloured stripes as featured on the company's 2600 / 7800 consoles, games, and marketing materials.
Also available to pre-order is a PONG-themed thermal windscreen blackout blind and matching table, so all of the local wolves and bears can be made aware of your love of vintage gaming, right before they steal your pic-a-nic basket (or just eat you). Obviously, my flippancy is no reflection of the range itself, which looks legitimately quite chic.
The two 18L backpacks are particularly cool - boasting tough padded panels, a variety of zip pockets, and durable, showerproof polyester fabric. They're nicely priced too (£19) and are probably worth picking up for general travel, commuting, hiking, and/or convention browsing.
All items are available to pre-order right now directly from the OLPRO store, with shipping expected to roll out in March 2027, just in time for the Spring season. I know quite a few video game fans (including Hookshot folks) who are also quite fond of camping, so these items might be right up their valley.
As for me, I get my kicks by the radiator, sunshine. The closest I get to woodland exploration is Sabre Wulf.
